'Go There' Wednesdays: Purple Lips

Purple is everywhere this summer -- eyeshadow shades, sundresses, stilettos, and now, lips! All the top makeup brands have debuted their own versions of purple lipstick, stain or gloss, and each one is prettier than the last. The best part? The shade is so rich and luscious on brown skin... especially brown skin with a tan (don't believe us? Check out Tracee Ellis Ross!). To get this look at home, try Bare Escentuals Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Balm in St. Barts ($15, sephora.com), a glossy pop of lilac; Tokidoki Fantastico Lip Stain in Carnivora ($15, sephora.com) an electric purple stain; or LORAC Cream Lipstick in Wild Orchid ($19), a sexy plum-pink hue.
