Purple is one of those shades that when used as an eyeshadow, compliments most skin tones and eye colors. But what happens when you try for a purple mouth? I put a few shades of purple to the test on my pout.
Lip products used from left to right:
MAC Pro lip palette “The Plums.” I used “Cyber” (bottom right darkest shade), $16
Other products used:
Purple has always been the rich shade associated with royalty throughout history, so why shouldn’t I want to embrace it? Us mamas are queen’s of the household right?!
I started off in the top pics with just the dark purple lipstick “Cyber,” and felt like a real tough girl sporting that color. It gave me a certain edgy feel I’m not used to when I wear my nudes and pinks! Then I decided to see what would happen when I added a bright fuchsia lipstick (that leans more on the neon lilac side if you ask me). This shade on top definitely brightened up my dark mouth and really brought out the purple. Both of these lipsticks had a similar creamy formula so they worked well together. And to top it off, I then added the Pantone color of the year, an orchid-like shimmer gloss, “Sugar Violet.” This is one of my current favorite glosses and looks really good and subtle even when worn alone. I must say, I’m pretty passionate about the way this purple pout turned out. I will definitely be sporting this look again.
Would you wear purple on your pout?
