Colour crush.........Deepest Purple!

Deep Purple- Pantone- inspiration.

 Deep purple the colour associated with: Royalty, magic and Liberty in London. A colour so rich and sumptuous that you can create a whole look with nuances of the shade and in a literal sense let the shade *wear you* or focus with purple on the eyes coupled with nude lips or purple from deep to black/purple for the ultimate edgy statement lip. It is the ultimate *vamp* shade.

1.	vamp
	A femme fatale character in movies or books. The character is a woman who, while not necessarily attractive, has a certain allure (usually this striking, exotic, overtly sexy glamour), and is usually a heartless, man-eating seductress.  My kind of girl ;)

The one that is gone but not forgotten.......................................

NARS Times Square Lipstick- From Make Up Your Mind

 Nars Times Square was a colour that was truly unique at the time a deep purple which was almost black, the original campaign was Erin O'Connor with a graphic flash of black liner, barely there base and Times Square in all of its glory- this colour looked equally amazing on darker skin tones too, I have seen it used on Alek Wek & Naomi Campbell, there was a matching lip liner and I would wear this lip colour, with a slick of Copacabana on my eyes, Zen blusher and feel like the bees knees :)

My recent homage to Times Square- I mixed about 4 shades to create the colour.

NOTE: There is a band actually called Deep Purple with *Smoke on the Water* being the strike out hit with one of the most simple and iconic intros- air guitars aloft :)
