10. Deep Plum

10

For those who love a dramatic, vampy makeup look, deep plum is the ultimate choice for fair skin. This dark, purple-toned red creates a striking, high-contrast look against a pale complexion, evoking a sense of mystery, power, and high-fashion drama. It is a show-stopping shade that is perfect for evening events, winter parties, or whenever you want to make a bold statement.

Because deep plum is such a dark shade, precision is absolutely vital. Use a lip liner to map out your lips before applying the lipstick to ensure clean, sharp lines. Keep the rest of your face relatively simple—flawless skin, a touch of contour, and simple mascara—to let your dramatic plum lips be the undisputed focus of your look.
