Spring summer 2015 catwalk plum lips on a budget
This spring and summer the edgiest lip colour is plum, normally reserved for classic autumn palettes. The most striking looks had matte lips in shades of plum, wine and berry, as seen at Dolce & Gabbana, Topshop Unique, Burberry Prorsum and more.
So…how can you create looks like these on a tight budget? It’s not like we all have £17 to splurge on a single lippy, is it?
