Badass, but jarring. So when I decided to wear it at the office recently, I knew there'd be a slew of reactions—and pitfalls because dark pigments are as understandably demanding as his Purple Majesty. Full disclosure: When I tried this experiment, I wore Bite Beauty's Black Truffle from their Amuse Bouche collection. It isn't 100% black as it has violet undertones, but it ended up being a fortuitous tribute to his Purpleness as I wore it on the day he died. (I'm devastated, can you tell?) Anyways, here are a few things that will inevitably happen if wear black, or really any other super-dark lip shade, to work. 1.

12 Makeup Tutorials To Try On Easter Sunday

Not every makeup look is appropriate for a holy holiday with your family. Here are 12 that are.  12 Makeup Tutorials to Try on Easter Sunday Easter Sunday is in three days and if you’re celebrating the holiday, you are more than aware of the fact that Easter isn’t the best time to wear your smokiest eye makeup or dark purple lip.

These looks play to the individual styles of makeup lovers all over the world, so you’ll be sure to find the right one before Sunday. Choose one favorite, if you can. 1.
