The Instagram Lipstick Trend to Try When You’re SO Over Red Lips
We’re not shy about our obsession with red lips. Besides being a classic makeup look with the ability to polish any outfit (even your weekend sweats), the bright hue also acts as a glam pick-me-up — swipe it on, you feel instantly swankier. But even your most solid standbys need to be switched up every once in a while. That’s where this red lip alternative comes into play: purple lips. Currently trending all over Instagram, this darker, bolder lipstick hue can read so many ways — perky + pretty, edgy + fierce, moody + cool — packing that much more personality into your getup in a totally unexpected way. Scroll through to see nine of our favorite Instababes rocking the lipstick trend you need to try when you’re SO over red lips.
