No, I’m not crazy — you may have just finished selecting your perfect red lip color after testing out dozens of almost-identical shades, but come this Fall, it will be time to swap your brick or fire-engine red for a purple gloss or lipstick! Sure, the idea sounds a bit, er, nontraditional, but the realm of purple is probably a bit broader than the nightmarish Grandma shades that might immediately come to mind! Whether plum, full-on fuchsia-hued, or deep blackberry, purple lips aren’t necessarily that “out there” or even that difficult to pull off, but you can take it things up a notch on the boldness scale with more opaque formulas with a pearly or sparkly finish, like MAC’s Dare to Wear LipGlass in Ban This, or play it down with a more wearable sheer formula in a plum-berry hue like Fresh’s Sugar Plum Lip Treatment. If you prefer lipstick over gloss, go for a bright, punchy shade like Lancome’s Color Fever Shine in Purple Surge, or opt for something deep and dramatic with YSL’s Rouge Volupte Perle in Mesmerizing Purple. If you can’t decide whether to go vivid or subtle with the look, Tarte’s Double-ended Gloss in Anthony & Cleopatra boasts both a matte and sheer, sparkly shade to switch things up (or wear them together)!

Purple lipstick sounds cool for me! For sure, it is suited for me. Especially, I've undergone restylane NJ-based last week. Maybe I'll try to use this soon.
