Violet is the iconic color of the brand, so if you want to comprehend the whole variety of shades, you should contact Urban Decay. An excellent basic version can be found in the rulers of liquid and classic lipsticks. Vice: Pandemonium is uncompromisingly bright and at the same time versatile, fits easily into different make-ups and does not look like a dark spot in a company with very fair skin. The liquid version has the correct texture: the lipstick lays down with a thin layer and does not dry the lips that have been previously wetted, and the rich color does not require agony with layering.

Metallic - a complex and interesting texture, fashion for which a year ago picked up almost all the brands that are trying to be relevant. All, by the way, have their own idea of how a metallic luster should look: in one lipstick they add an ocean of the smallest shimmer, in others a glitter of different size is mixed, the third is only slightly diluted with gold or bronze. Metals Estée Lauder - one of the most comfortable to wear. They have a sliding gel texture, in which holographic glitters shimmer: can be worn as lipstick or used as a topper for a more dense coating.
NYX Soft Matte Metallic Lip Cream lipstick in Havana shade
600 r.
This is the "metal" version of the best-selling Soft Matte Lip Cream, which also turned out to be a successful product. If you are familiar with the original, the shades will not surprise you, since they are duplicated, but this is the case when it is very pleasant to experience the joy of recognition. In this lipstick you can’t find a sea of radiance, she has a neat shining finish that will surely please those who do not like to bend over with experiments in make-up. Violet shade of Havana has a metallic sheen that is very high: it looks very witch-like on lips. It is worth wearing with a pencil or a substrate from more steady lipstick: the opaque cream easily leaves lips and leaves bald spots.
MAC Grand Illusion Liquid Holographic Lipstick MACHINE Illusion Holographic Liquid Lipcolour in Queen's Violet Shade
1,770 p.
The brand, which has never experienced a shortage of unusual products, continues to invent amazing things: holographic liquid lipstick was one of the brightest startups last year. And this is really holography: all shades shine almost with petrol divorces and all the time look differently depending on the lighting. We warmly advise you not to pass by the purple Queen's Violet, on the stands with holographic banks you really want to touch the light and blue shades in the first place, but this will definitely be boring: added unearthly blue and pink colors to the bright main color.
NARS x Erdem Lipstick Matte Lipstick in Wild Flower Shade
2,200 р.
Among the NARS lipsticks, one can easily find interesting shades of lilac, violet and blue - the noir and fatal women are close to the brand. It is even more interesting to wait for the appearance of dark lipstick in limited collections (after similar shades are hardly found). The collaboration with Erdem was a success, and the most beautiful item in the collection is undoubtedly the dark plum lipstick in the Wild Flower shade: purple for those who like silent movies and vintage chic closer than futuristic parties.
LASplash Classic Horror Liquid Lipstick Lipstick in Creature Shade
1,490 р.
It’s written like this: the shades in the horror collection of the LASplash brand can really scare - this is an excellent collection of matte shades with mostly gray shades. If your goal is to turn into a zombie for a while, look for the perfect lipstick in this lineup. Of course, it was difficult to get along without violet in the range with such a theme. The hue of Creature, however, is not shocking - it is a really beautiful deep dark purple, with no extra red or blue. Lipstick resistant and dense, prone to dry lips and is unlikely to be suitable for frequent use, but is ideal for gothic makeup for the occasion.
Jeffree Star Velor Liquid Lipstick in Shade I'm Royalty
1,790 p.
If pure colors are more interesting to you than complex and muted options, the best matte lipstick, suitable for eye makeup, look at the Jeffree Star. In the permanent collection there is a bright purple I'm Royalty, not at all natural and a little going into neon. It is necessary to adapt to the application: superstable lipstick obediently falls and hardens quickly, but on dry lips it will not feel too comfortable (again, the problem is solved by applying a balm under lipstick). Try to add matte purple lips with graphic arrows - get a simple and effective mono make-up.
Kiko Milano Jelly Stylo Lipstick Cream Lipstick in Purple
550 r.
The Italian mass market brand rarely breaks out a rainbow of unusual shades, but sometimes lavender, gray, green tones appear in the rows of lipsticks and glitters - you should look for and try. Among the matte Kiko lipsticks you can find interesting variants of violet, but we suggest to pay attention to the light shining Jelly Stylo with a “wet” finish. This is another gel lipstick on our list: it shines almost as a gloss, it is applied comfortably, it leaves quickly, but you can also easily correct the makeup with its participation. Dark shades that are usually difficult for such a texture, including deep purple Purple, turned out to be good.
Liquid lipstick YSL Tatouage Couture Matte Liquid Lipstick in the shade of Violet Conviction
3 070 р.
Another lipstick for lovers of difficult shades - it is worth trying on, if you absolutely do not need cold purple. Dark shades of YSL still tend to adapt to the recognizable and classic: on the lips, Violet Conviction looks like a sensible blend of purple and red. Beautiful and wearable, if the arrows are closer to you glitter scattered across the face. In addition, this is a typical improved version of matte lipstick, which will not be a problem: it lays down a thin layer, like a tint, and convenient sponge allows you to do without a pencil.
Smashbox Always On Liquid Lipstick in Make It Reign
1 690 р.
Smashbox was one of the first to release a generous amount of metallic lipstick - they remained one of the highest quality and most dull. Both nude and dark shades are equally good in this texture: the base of the metallic is matte, and the shine is far from delicate. Purple Make It Reign would be good even without special effects: it looks more berry on the lips and is well suited not only for non-standard make-up, but also acquires a futuristic dimension due to the metal finish.
