    We give you three ways to wear this stunning winter lipstick trend

    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

    Yohanna 31 Jul 2016 4:57 PM

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

    Very edgy, I still prefer pastel shades though.

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

    ModernSnowWhite 21 Jun 2012 10:11 PM

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

    LOVE! I just purchased my first ever "Dark Berry Hue" Lipstick today after my sister convinced me it would work... hehe.. so very happy that you have written this article! It's given me more confidence in the shade :)

    I dont think I can do this, my lips are too thin.

    Deb763 21 Jun 2012 1:13 AM

    i really do love this look; just not adventurous enough to do it myself :'( scared i look too 'washed out'

    Rpear 21 Jun 2012 12:06 AM

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

    LoveLoveLove 20 Jun 2012 2:04 PM

    I love this! >^.^<

    Astrokat 20 Jun 2012 11:53 AM

    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...

    MACjunkie 20 Jun 2012 11:47 AM

    i like berry lips versus plums, but even then a stain is bold enough for me haha i like to stick with my pink/nude lip pies thanks

    Stunning

    Lexie810 20 Jun 2012 6:27 AM

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

    Madi678 20 Jun 2012 5:43 AM

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

    eeee 20 Jun 2012 12:03 AM

    Have always loved this colour!!

    diabla 19 Jun 2012 12:15 PM

    ModernGypsy 19 Jun 2012 8:28 AM

    I love all different shades of lipstick, so I'm definitely a fan of this trend! I really want a new wine coloured shade this Winter, just have to find the perfect one =)
