PLUM LIPSTICKS

Plum lipsticks have a distinctive dark purple colour with a hint of red. They are suitable for most skin tones – providing a high contrast look for those with fair complexions and giving those with darker skin an added touch of sultry glamour. Our extensive colour range has everything from lighter shades of purple lipstick to rich and earthy dark plum lipstick.

Use our lipstick shade finder to find the best plum lipstick for your skin tone. If you want a versatile lipstick that looks great during the day and night, a M.A.C matte purple lipstick offers creamy full coverage that stays vibrant. Or, if you want to make a bold impression, choose a plum lipstick with a semi-glossy finish. Our range of colours and finishes is so extensive you can find the perfect lipstick to suit your individuality and unique style.

The key to rocking a plum shade lipstick is to keep everything else in your outfit relatively subdued and neutral, so your lipstick can really shine. Plum lipsticks look great, for instance, with neutral shades of eyeshadow (such as cocoa, tan and cream) and paired with a stylish taupe jacket or a smart black dress.

For best results, pair your plum lipstick with a M.A.C lip liner in a similar shade. You can either draw an outline around your lip line or apply lip liner to the whole lip area before adding an additional layer of lipstick. Then, voila! You can rock the plum lip look with confidence and flair.
