Dark Skin - Purple Lips

purple lipstick for dark skkin

I have to admit, i have a slight obsession with lipstick. It's my dirty little secret. I was late to the make up game and reluctant to try bright hues on my lips at first. I started out with glosses and slowly built up a mean lipstick collection. I personally believe that purple shades compliment my skin tone the most, and one of my all time favorite lip colors is "Up The Amp" by MAC cosmetics. It can be difficult to find swatches of of lipstick for darker skin tones (I wear MUFE HD foundation in 180 and Mac Studio Fix powder in NW50), so i'd really like to feature my current collection of purple lipsticks. (I'll be featuring my reds, pinks, oranges/corals and nudes in upcoming blogs too!)
