We understand that darker, more gothic colours can be a little daunting ladies – but trust us, plums are easier to wear than you might thing and can give your look a whole new feel.
When it comes to choosing – its all down to trial and error. But as basic rules, Paler skin tones will work better with a burgundy tone that has a slight red or pinky hue running through it to add warmth. Brunettes and darker skin tones can get away with a slightly deeper, more purple base as their features can balance out the strong colour and pull it off without looking washed out.
