In my sizable lipstick collection, I've amassed a kernel collections of wearable vampy colors when the wintertime mood strikes. (In Chicago, that "winter mood" is September thru Apr but I digress).
And lah-di-da, they're all drugstore prices to boot!
For my skintone, a cool, berry purpley-toned shade tends to await best. Of course, operate the tones that piece of employment best amongst your peel but either way, these formulas are my fourth dimension tested faves. Since I piece of employment inwards an office, I can't larn too cray with colors without turning a few heads in addition to so I accomplish for formulas that lean on the shear side (mostly) or tin sack easily live worn shear. Vampy doesn't direct maintain to hateful "deep dark purpley black." The correct musical note tin sack lend to a vampy await without frightening passerby.
Here's the lowdown on my faves:
Maybelline Color Elixir inwards Caviar Couture- In the tube, this looks similar the deepest boldest color. Because of the glossiness though, it becomes to a greater extent than wearable than a apartment matte formula inwards the same shade. I'd line this color every bit a deep wine-y berry amongst a hint of purpley-ness tucked somewhere inwards there. I tend to operate this every bit a gloss on top of a unlike shade in addition to so I larn a hint of the deep color without full-on vamp.
The Body Shop Color Crush inwards 235- I dearest these Body Shop lipsticks in addition to I direct maintain nigh 10 shades already. The swatch below truly reads quite pinkish but inwards person, it's distinctly purpley. It's a swell shade of regal that is only wearable plenty without looking only wrong. It's got a fleck of a pearlescence to it which sometimes tin sack really look dated but amongst a neutral eye, this color looks frosty in addition to icy but withal chic.
Revlon Matte Balm Stain inwards Shameless- This is sure enough the most regal of all the lipsticks I ain in addition to it tin sack definitely read quite dark worn direct out of the tube. I'd live hesitant to article of apparel this to the component subdivision because it tin sack truly live quite bold but if applied amongst a brush or sheared out amongst your fingers, it tin sack truly live daytime appropriate. I truly bask wearing this full-on for a nighttime out inwards the wintertime months (and let's live real, that's rare) but a deep dark vampy look.
Revlon Super Lustrous inwards Black Cherry- This is likely the most classic in addition to most ruby-red of all the vampy shades I own. It's a gorgeous berry ruby-red color that has a swell sheeny finish. If I article of apparel this to work, I tend to apply this amongst a brush in addition to create a fleck of a stain first. Then I'll cash inwards one's chips inwards amongst the underground in addition to apply closed to other layer. It lasts a long fourth dimension in addition to leaves the lips looking similar you've been enjoying several spectacles of ruby-red wine.
