Purple Haze: 12 celebrities who rock violet-hued lipstick with ease
See which celebrities can’t get enough of purple lipstick »
Roses are red, violets are…uh, purple, actually. We’ll save investigating the legitimacy of that poem for a later date, because today we’re focused on the A-list celebs who make red lips seem passé. From style chameleon Rihanna to the always flawless Lupita Nyong’o, these ladies might be Hollywood’s biggest risk-takers, but they make pulling purple off purple lipstick seem so easy, we’re tempted to swipe on a coat as we type.
The reason the shade is so popular is because it’s actually super versatile! You can choose a shade that suits your skintone and hair colour, from Coco Rocha‘s light lavender, to Beyoncé‘s dark wine hue. If it’s good enough for Queen Bey, it’s good enough for us.
