We’re so thrilled that plum is one of the hottest lip shades for spring! The thing with glosses in the plum family (ie, maroons, wines, eggplants, berries, etc.) is that they’re so deep and dramatic that, aside from your lipcolor, you barely need a stitch of makeup. It’s so easy: Swipe on your favorite plum gloss or lipstick, dab on some concealer, apply mascara, and you’re out the door. Any trend that saves us time in the morning is genius! From Chanel Iman to Zoe Saldana (left), we’ve rounded up our favorite purple puckers in all of celebdom.
Stila Pomegranate Crush Lip & Cheek Stain ($24) is a lush plum hue made of real crushed pomegranates (chock full of antioxidants!) and stays put all day.
Bare Escentuals Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Balm in Portofino ($15) is a sheer plum-wine lip tint—a perfect way to rock deeper hues for day.
Revlon Matte Lipstick in Wine Not ($7.99) is an Old Hollywood-esque burgundy/maroon that’s so flattering on brown skin.
