Video: trend how-to: berry and dark plum lips
I’ll bang on about dark, wine-coloured winter lips to anyone who’ll listen, but whenever I do, they all come back with the same response: “I’m too scared to wear that colour. It’s just a wee bit too dark and intense for me…”
Bullocks, I say! And you too will be nodding in agreement after watching my how-to video. Not only does it prove this berry, plumy trend is in fact wearable, but that there are three different ways to adopt it.
Still scared? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: berry hues – be it raspberry, true berry, plum, merlot or even burgundy – are a super-wearable lip colour as they suit all skin tones and have the wonderful ability of making your eyes pop. (Find out which variation of the hue suits your skin colouring best right about here.)
So, in an effort to bring about a country filled with feminine, stylish-looking women this winter, I, along with Camilla Belle, Lily Collins, Kate Bosworth, Jessica Alba and Zooey Deschanel, am urging you to just give this trend a go. You’ll have fun, I promise…

I think this colour would be a bit too rich for me.

I was also always wary, as my lips are small, but still do it hehe

I often wear berry and plum lipsticks, so I don't think that they're scary to wear. Hopefully your video will encourage others to have a go. If you don't like it, just wash it off. It's only lipstick!

I prefer bold red lips...the plum shade can make you look older

Agree on this! Especially warmer shades of plum that look more like brown, that looks really ageing

I love these kinds of colours. I have always liked wearing plummy and berry shades in the cooler months.

It's okay, but I do prefer lighter lips.

I love berry lip colour! I still cannot find a plum shade that is right for me!

I love the shades but tend to do up my eyes when I'm wearing makeup, not my lips... So not really much point spending the money on a colour that I may wear once or twice only...

I've been wanting to try a really dark plum/berry for ages but finding the right shade is so difficult!

Wow! When I hear dark berry plum lips I did not think about these shades. Looks very manageable.
