It’s in the 30s in New York City, so for this island girl, it’s officially Winter for me. While I absolutely detest the cold, the one thing I love about winter is all the deep lipsticks that get to be worn. When Mrs. Carter arrived on Day 2 of the Shawn Carter Foundation Gala in Fort Lauderdale, FL she came to be SEEN on the scene. While I normally enjoy Bey’s style, this was a rare occasion where I didn’t like the look.

She wore a beautiful custom Roberto Cavalli gown and sparkly silver heels. Roberto Cavalli is undoubtedly known for his shoes so I love seeing his clothing front and center for this fashion moment. Beyoncé paired it with large oval jeweled earrings and wore honey curls cascading down her shoulders. The look was accessorized with white and green blinged out rings that complimented the earrings. The thing with this look is that I like all the pieces individually: the dress is stunning, the shoes are fabulous (I didn’t mind this combo), the jewelry makes a statement and the makeup is on point. However, I don’t like how it all looks together. With a dress like this, a less is more approach would have been better, in my opinion.
Nevertheless, what drew me to this look was the makeup. I loved the vampy lipstick and thought it looked gorgeous on her. A good, deep purplish-red lip looks bold across all skin tones. It also looks great paired against a soft glam eye and face a la Bey. Want to add this lipstick to your ensemble? You can get a similar color to Beyoncé’s deep rouge lip from the following brands.
Urban Decay Comfort Matte Lipstick in ‘Disturbed’

This is one of my favorite lipstick colors ($18.00, ultabeauty.com) and formulas – so when Bey was sporting a similar shade, I could not share with all of you!
I’ve worn this color on many occasions over the past few years in the liquid lipstick version and it always ups my makeup look several notches. It also sets off a look when you pair it in a monochrome look as I did with this suit. The color stays on and doesn’t transfer. I’m also a fan of the all day wear with minimal need for reapplication.

You can get the look for less! This vampy color ($4.00, elfcosmetics.com) will cost you less than your morning latte. This lipstick formula isn’t drying and glides on pretty easily. It does tend to transfer and move around a bit, so you might want to utilize a setting spray to help it stay put.
Lime Crime ‘BloodMoon’ Matte Lipstick

If you still want to step into the trend but this color is just a little too dark for you, then no worries, try Lime Crime Matte Velvetines BloodMoon Matte Lipstick ($20.00, limecrime.com). This color is dark (not nearly as dark as pictured), but will give more of a soft vampire glam effect. It is a bit hard to apply evenly so I wouldn’t use when in a rush. It has more red than purple in the tint, so think of it as deep as a blood red could go and you have BloodMoon!
