Product Description

Are you thinking about switching to a dark plum lipstick? Then you've come to the right place. The Vessie Goldsmith lip color collection has several different dark plum lipstick colors in both matte and satin finishes. With a little prep-work and the right color pallet for your eyes and cheeks, you can create a dramatic look centered around the deep, luscious beauty that comes with a dark plum lipstick.

First, you have to pick a shade of dark plum that will work with your skin done. If you don't get that much sun, you're probably going to want to play it safe with a dark plum lipstick that has reddish or berry undertones. For those with darker complexions, plum shades with undertones of brown or deep purple will compliment your skin quite nicely.

Also, if you have a fair complexion, you're going to want to keep all of the other makeup on your face to a minimum. Obviously you're going to need a light application of blush, or your dark plum lipstick will make you look washed out and possibly anemic. Be very careful to make sure that the undertone of your blush matches the undertone of your lip color. And when it comes to the eyes, less is more. A layer or two of black mascara, a well-defined, natural eyebrow, and a bit of a cat eye design sculpted from liquid liner are perfect for completing this look.

Women with a darker or warmer skin tone, however, have a little more freedom with their dark plum lipstick scheme. If you want to get a little more dramatic with your eye makeup or add a shimmering bronzer instead of a subtle blush, have at it! Since you don't have to worry about looking washed out, you can get away with a little extra color and drama.

Dark Plum Lipstick Benefits

Vessie Goldsmith berry red lipstick colors are made with a highly pigmented color formula. This ensures that you receive an even distribution of rich, luxurious color every time you apply. The long-lasting finish makes it so that you won't have to reapply as often, guaranteeing that your lipstick will last longer. Also, don't be shy about mixing and matching - Vessie Goldsmith lip colors are designed to complement our exclusive line of Vessie Goldsmith lip glosses. So you can add an extra layer of luscious shine with a matching lip gloss, or create a unique color of your own design by applying a lip gloss of a different color.

Dark Plum Lipstick Directions

For dark plum lipstick with a matte finish, make sure you exfoliate before you apply the lip color. Exfoliate however you wish - you can use a lip scrub, a lip balm and a soft toothbrush, or a special lip exfoliating cream. Then apply a liberal amount of lip color to your lips. A lip brush works best because it lets you apply the lip color exactly where you want it with a minimal amount of feathering or smudging. For dark plum lipstick with a satin finish, there is no need to exfoliate before applying the color.

If you're worried about such a dark hue making your lips look smaller, you can create the illusion of fullness and depth with the right lip gloss. For a matte finish, try a complimentary lip gloss from the Vessie Goldsmith non-shimmer lipgloss line in either a red, pink, or brown hue (or try those same colors from the Shimmer line with a satin lipstick). Apply a small dab to the center of each lip, and gently blend outward, but do not cover the whole lip. Allow the outer edges of your lips to stay darker for a full lip effect.
