How to Wear Purple Lipstick Tutorial

I love a bold lip, for me its just a simple way to update my look and try something new. I love playing with colour and experimenting with my makeup but i understand that for some people they might long to try something new but have no idea where to start. I wrote a post a few weeks ago where i reviewed this Purple Sleek Lipstick so i thought i would do one showing how i would actually wear it and what i would do with my eye makeup just to help out anyone who might want some ideas. 

What I Used-

Face-

L'oreal Skin Perfection Magic Touch Instant Blur

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation (Fuji)

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer (Light)

Vichy Dermablend Setting Powder

Nars Laguna Bronzer

Rimmel Stay Bushed (Pop of Pink)

Mac Mineralized Skinfinish (Soft and Gentle)

Eyes/Brows-

Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil (Hazel)

Benefit Gimmie Brow (Light/Medium)

Benefit Stay Don't Stray 

Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow (Birthday Suit)

Collection Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner (Black)

Bourjois Volume 1 Second Mascara (Black)

Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter 

Lips- 

Sleek True Colour Lipstick (Exxxagerate)

I decided that as the lips are stand out enough themselves that i would keep the eyes fairly simple with not too much colour going on. So for my eyes after putting on a bit of eye primer i applied a cream shadow in a neutral taupe brown shade over the entire lid and blended it out. I went for a cream shadow instead of a regular shadow as the lipstick is matte i didn't want the look to be too flat. My main idea for the eyes was to have more dramatic liner with a cat flick i think its bold enough to work well with the lips but still simple. Now i am rubbish with doing liquid liner and flicks but i use a little trick of putting a bit of tape from the outer corner of my eye at an angle up towards my eyebrow, you then simple use it as a guide of where to do your flick it really makes it so much easier! I then applied a few coats of mascara and thats was the eyes done.

The rest of the makeup is pretty natural a soft flush of pink on the cheeks using a cream blush and a bit of bronzer and highlighter. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing how i wear a bold purple lip, i think it works well for day and night and i personally love how it looks. 

How would you wear purple Lipstick?

Sleek True Colour Lipstick in Exxxagerate

I had been on the look out for a purple lipstick for a while, i love a bold lip and i think it probably the only colour i dont own. I found it hard to find one that was the right shade of purple most seem to be more plum colored and i didn't want one that had a red tone to it. I spotted Exxxaggerate when i was browsing the Sleek counter and snapped it up instantly as its just the purple i was looking for.
I was surprised by how small it is it really is a diddy little thing, i don't mind that you get a little less product than most other lipsticks as it is a great price at £4.99 and lipsticks seem to last forever anyway and its not exactly a colour I'm going to wear everyday.
The colour is gorgeous, its a blue toned dark purple and i just love it, its so dramatic and bold, a really stand out shade.
Its a matt formula but i don't find it drying at all, and although matt it actually has very fine shimmers in it, don't let that put you off if your not a fan of shimmer in your lipstick as its not very noticeable unless you look very closely. I really like the formula it lasts well even when eating and drinking which is great.
This is the first Sleek lipstick i've tried but I'm really impressed, sleek never seem to disappoint their definitely my favorite highstreet brand.

Have you tried a Sleek lipstcik? What did you think?
