If you're thinking of trying a deep violet or prominent grape lipstick but feeling slightly timid about such a bold look, rest assured anyone can pull off purple lipstick. All types of complexions can wear purple lipstick and look good in it; you just have to find the right match for your skin tone.

Though purple lipstick is universal, it makes a strong statement. In this case, less is more. Keep in mind you can go overboard. For example, if your lips are purple, don't match your eye color to it, says Makeup.com. Though colorful eyeshadow trends look great, the best looks focus on either vivid eyes or lips, and not both. 

To complement a purple lip, shade your eyelids with subdued skin color and line them with a light brown. Go with a basic black mascara and choose a nude blush or bronzer. Complete the look by making sure your eyebrows are well-groomed and defined, but don't overpluck your eyebrows either. 

Keeping the rest of your makeup simple will help the purple lipstick stand out even more and complete the vibrant retro look.
