There Are Many Shades of Purple

I am fond of wacky/bold shades of nail colours and lip colours. I don't really wear lipstick that often. On a daily basis for a college student sleep is the priority apart from well occasionally wondering about the future and where we are headed and what job(if any) will land on our lazy laps - all that jazz you know. But for rare occasions I like dressing up and I don't mind if someone stares at my bold red lips or exaggerated winged liner. I have been there and I have actually taken that as a compliment.

Remember this post where I mentioned I bought the Lakme Enrich Matte 254 shade?

Here's how it looks under flash (had poor lighting so had to use flash) otherwise it's a very dark purple actually. It is a matte shade but is very light on the lips. It feels so light. You have to be careful with drinking and eating while the colour's on because of course it leaves a mark. But since it's so dark it doesn't fade away easily. It is relatively easier to take off than my red lip colour. I just use those make-up remover tissues you get at stores. At Rs.225 it is very much affordable. I love the shade. I give it a 5/5.
And oh that's the Avon Simply Pretty Big Eye Pencil (emerald) on my eyelids. It's quite easy to put on and sometimes I go out with just that and kajal if I am in the mood for a little colour on my face but nothing too dramatic.

This is not really out of my comfort zone(sleeveless tops is totally out of it though) but I know bold shades are considered out of zone stuff. But we all have something which is out of our comfort zone.

Since we are talking colours - What is the bold shade of your choice?
