10 Best Plum Lipstick that will never go out of style

Plum and dark lipsticks are making a huge comeback with many celebrities and influencers donning this bold and daring look. It’s an especially great fall look.

There is something alluring about a really dark shade of lipstick that also boosts one’s confidence naturally. This color is definitely something worth to try especially if you’re someone who loves the nudes and light lip colors.

A perk with this color is that any skin complexion can pull it off if applied correctly. Before we get down to the nitty-gritty, let’s tackle the basics of putting on plum lipsticks.

If done incorrectly, plum lipsticks will make you look like a vampire, a rock star or a goth. We want to avoid that unless that’s exactly the look you’re gunning for.

The following are some tips and do’s and don’ts to successfully pull off the plum color.

First and foremost, one must know that a plum shade of lipstick is a strong color. If you’re feeling particular shy today, then it would be best to choose another color; although, looking at yourself in the mirror with bold luscious lips is a great picker-upper of the mood. So swipe away!

The best time to wear this lip color is during the times when you want to feel empowered and make a statement.

Since your lips are already striking, make sure to not pair it with loud outfits. Plum lipsticks go well with chic minimalist styles. A light yellow jumpsuit, a simple maxi dress, and things like that.

We will get into this in more detail later but a quick guide would be: bluish deep purple undertones for fair and light skin tones and white-yellowish warm purple undertones for darker skin complexions. Yes, there are undertones to this plum color.

We’ve mentioned earlier that anyone can pull off a plum lippie, therefore, the only thing left is your confidence! Look for a shade that you and your lips love then apply away!

When you are left with a choice of only choosing one cosmetic product to use, go for the lips. Wearing a plum lipstick alone can complete a look already. With this in mind, make sure that the lips is the target point and not create a messy and clashing look by applying bold eyes or cheeks. Keep them as light and neutral as possible in order to make the whole look balanced.

Focusing on eyeshadows, shades of warm brown with red undertones are the best in complimenting plum lip colors. Go for the ones with a velvety texture that is rich in color and has a subtle glimmer.

We all know that we tend to go over the natural lip line when applying lipstick, but for plum lippies, they work best if applied within our given lip shape. The color is already overpowering so enlarging our lips will not have a nice result.

Plum lipsticks are known for cracking and peeling off. We don’t wanna look like a desert now, do we? Make sure to moisturize beforehand or apply some balm over the plum lipstick. If you are going for an ultra-matte effect, then it is best to prep the lips properly beforehand. Use a lip mask, exfoliate, the works.

The best way to apply darker lip colors is with a lip brush because it can get messy quickly. Be precise when putting it on, starting from the outer corner of the mouth and working your way to the center on both the upper and lower lips. Fill in the rest of the lips after.

This may seem like a new ordeal, but when it comes to plum lipsticks, you need to apply your liner after the lipsticks. This is to give you more control on getting the perimeter of your lips correctly and to ensure that the pencil (which must be as close to the shade of the plum lippie as possible) does not overwhelm the rest of the lips.
