Hey fellow beauties, I need your help. I'm looking for a purple lipstick that isn't too light and too dark. I recently saw Heroin by Mac but unfortunately its sold out. Are there any other lipsticks that are similar or a dupe for Heroin?
I have one from the Rimmel Kate Moss line that's a deep plum color, but it looks awesome sheered out too :) Also Airborne Unicorn from Lime Crime is a beautiful pinky purple
I've checked out all of your suggestions and I'm super excited about Ka'oir's lipstick line. I saw it months ago but thought it was way too out there for me (things change). I love both the purples that she has. Thank you again Ladies!
Omg ! Vivid violet by smashbox .... U have to try it on to get the actual effect. Complimets upon compliments lol. Its violet but literally vivid & berry like at the same time
Here are some purple lipstick swatches: (top) Violetta, (left to right) CoverGirl Embrace, Wet n Wild 908C, MAC Heroine, MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme Seasoned Plum, MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme Goes and Goes.
Violetta is awesome
And i lipline with a milani lipflash pencil it gives it an awesome shine like my profile pic

Mac's Violetta is similar but the finish is different. You can also try the occ lip tars. The shade Hoochie and belladonna are really pretty
