This year, purple is inarguably the colour for fall. From Dior to Peter Som, the runways are awash with deep plums and grayish violets. While such an eye catching colour may not be for everyone, the faint at heart can soften the look with a semi-sheer purple or purple lip gloss.

So what do you guys think? It’s fair to say that recently black women have been taking more risks with their lipstick colour choices, opting for more vivid and bolder colours. No longer are we frowned up for picking up a bright pink or orange lipstick. Will purple lipstick get the green light as well?
