Purple lips: yay or nay?

Posted by 17 January 2012 12:40

As of late we've noticed an increasing number of celebs opting for purple lips. It may sound a little scary but worn in the right way it can be very chic and oh-so-60s. If you're a brunette, you can get away with a more lilac shade like Lea Michele (we love MAC Lipstick in Up The Amp, £13.50), but blondes should stick to Pinky lavender hues or fuchsia purple to avoid looking too Lady Gaga (sorry Kelly Osbourne, we are indeed hinting at you to ditch the chalky pastel purple). Try Illamasqua Lipstick in Liv, £15.50, instead.

    Jesus, the contouring on Nicki Minaj's nose is something else. The colours are pink but they have a blue undertone which gives them a slightly purple hue. Full on purple is only for the brave!

    And there was me thinking they were pink lips not purple.

    What the fuck is that? Oh it's Kelly Osbourne. Sorry, I thought it was a monster in pink lipstick.

    It's more bright pink than purple - I like them all apart from Nicki Minaj
