I wore purple lippy to a job interview. I wear purple lipstick whenever I can!

[AngelinaStyles]

I have like 5 different purple lipsticks that I have been DYING to wear! This definitely helped, because purple is such a great summer color! It's definitely gonna be my signature summer lipstick. Thanks for the types!

Cute look! I prefer darker purple /a vamp purple. Still trying to find a good drugstore option...

[gingercarco]

Love it thanks looks beautiful, abd the eyes too. I wear it all the time and know the trick for using the concealers for the lip...

[littlebird]

Kirbie you're such a charming presenter I always love your videos :)

[Finding_Destini]

I have this one color from Milani that's called "Uptown Mauve" and I absolutely love it! It's a very red/pink purple and I find it very wearable. After a while when it fades it doesn't look as purple but still pretty

[kaitlynrodriguez]

Im tempted to wear purple lipstick to the office tho

[cheyannekanehailua]

I will and have worn it but mines a slight deeper color...

[Mikmaqdrag]

That's so interesting you have such small eyelids. I thought mine were small. I love this lipstick! It was my first shade I bought from stila and fell in love

[cheriwilliams]

Kirbie.. You have hooded eyes like I do.. have you done or can you do a eye shadow technique for us hooded eyes girls? I know you did a tutorial in this video but would love to see a lot more looks.. especially a natural eye shadow look!!  I know you are suppose to actually go a little above the crease with your crease color because when your eyes are open it looks better. any other tips?

[ashleypersaud]

I wound love to try this purple trend but my skin color refuses to cooperate with me :( btw kirbie, you have beautiful eyelashes 😍😍

[EAC]

Loved this! Kirbie's the best, popsugar don't ever let her go!
I gotta say though the reflection of the studio lights in her eyes was trippin me out haha

[kourtnidawn]

I love the purple look. I have Nyx Cosmetics Medusa lipstick but it bleeds everywhere :(

Love this video- I got a gorgeous purple lipstick in a recent Boxycharm box, and I've been in love with the trend ever since!! I pair purple lips with natural eye makeup and big lashes. I've worn the look out to the mall and while running errands. Personally, I've found that it sends out such a cool & confident vibe! Highly encourage everyone to try it out!!

[Bea_the_witch]

Thanks so much for this! I've been wanting to try out the purple lip look for a while now and this eyeshadow style is perfect. It'll so match my purple and black lace dress =v=

[cheriwilliams]

I really have to be careful what lip colors I can pull off because I have red hair and it seems a lot of colors clash but with the right color purple, I'd give it a go!

[heidistreeter]

Any tips for pulling off a red lip? I buy so much red, all different tones, still doesn't look right. Is it possible that I just can't pull it off?

[perlavazquez]

Didn't like the eyeshadow much it made her eyes look weird but the lip liner she put on made her look great without any eye makeup but she rocked the purple lipstick

[beautygal]

I honestly think purple isn't a great color for lips but if you had a purple barrette in your hair it might look good.

I'VE BEEN A PURPLE LOVER FOR MOST OF MY LIFE, EVEN MY ROOM IS PAINTED PURPLE!! BUT I DECIDED TO WEAR PURPLE LIPSTICK FOR THE FIRST TIME ON FEBRUARY 15, 2019 WHEN I WENT TO A PATTI LABELLE CONCERT FOR THE SECOND TIME, WITH A FRONT ROW SEAT & WANTED TO BE OUT OF THE ORDINARY. I HAVEN'T BEEN NOTICING THIS PURPLE LIPSTICK TREND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT...MORE PURPLE HAIR THOUGH!!


HOWEVER, AFTER WATCHING YOUR VIDEO, I WAS JUST WONDERING WHAT MAKES YOU AN EXPERT ON MAKE-UP? BECAUSE THE FACT THAT YOU THINK THAT THE LILAC LIPSTICK LOOKS GOOD ON YOU IS A JOKE!! NOT TRYING TO BE MEAN HONEY, BUT I THINK A DARKER COLOR LOOKS MUCH BETTER ON YOU IN MY OPINION!! II'M JUST A PERSON THAT LIKES TO KEEP IT REAL & I'M JUST SAYING!! IN ANY EVENT, I LOVE THE WAY THE EYE MAKE-UP LOOKS ON YOU THOUGH!!
