One of the major trends this Winter season is the purple lip. This is a look that works on all skin tones because purple shades can be warm or cool, dark or light.
If you are not a bold individual or you just want to lightly step into the purple trend you can get a gloss to give you a tint and sexy shine without too much color coverage. Here are names of some MAC lip glosses to take a look at: Morning Glory, Pop Mode, Desire, Lovechild, Starnova and Oversexed. For those who want high shine and sparkle, take a look at MAC Dazzleglass lipgloss in Like Venus, Date Night and Funtablous. For the color coverage of a lipstick with the shine of a gloss try MAC Sheen Supreme lipsticks in Quite the Thing, a deep blue plum shade, or Asian Flower, a light lavender hue.
Lighter tan to brown skin tones might like MAC Up the Amp or Violetta lipstick. Medium Brown to deep warm mahogany tones would look amazing with lipstick in deep, rich shades of raspberry purples such as Rebel or Diva
Deep Rich Coffee to Espresso hues will shine in regal plum tones like MAC Prolongwear Lipcreme, Faithfully Yours and Soulfully Rich
When wearing purple lipstick you must keep in mind the tone to balance your overall look. For example, with bold purple the eyes can be neutral thus allowing the lips to get all the attention. Deep purple hues can be paired with a smoky eye combo for a dramatic night look.
