I do love a dark lip at this time of year, I just feel so festive
with berry shades on my lips. However, this year I realised that all of my
festive lipsticks were exactly that – berry
shades with red undertones. I’ve been feeling a more plum vibe recently and
none of my lipsticks were the correct shade for that sort of malarkey, so naturally an online shopping spree was
in order.
I ordered Charlotte Tilbury’s Glaston-Berry which is a gorgeous
deep plum shade, still with hints of red though; so I wasn’t straying too far
from my comfort zone with this one. It’s very moisturising which is great as
sometimes I find that dark lipsticks can be drying which can lead to
unflattering chapped lips, which we all know is a lipstick’s worst enemy! I
also like the fact that this can be either patted on with a light hand for a
hint of colour, or layered up for an all out glamorous look. I find that this
is a wearable colour for both daytime as well as nighttime occasions.
The other lipstick that I chose was MAC’s Cyber, this one is an extremely daring blackened plum shade. I
can’t quite express how much I love it,
I think I’ll wear this more so on an evening than during the day as it is such a bold colour. It’s a satin finish,
so while the colour payoff is top notch, it’s not quite matte so is still
moisturising on the lips.
I chose MAC’s Nightmoth lip liner to wear underneath both of these
shades, it is a deep aubergine colour
which matches Cyber perfectly. I also like to wear it underneath Glaston-Berry,
however it does make this shade appear slightly more purple; so I also like to wear
Glaston-Berry by itself to enjoy the best of both worlds.
