5 Soft Plums for Spring
One of my favorite color to wear for spring is a softer version of plum, so I thought I would share some of my favorite more muted plum lipsticks today.
- Guerlain Garance — a very warm plum with a soft sheen
- MAC Marque — a gold-shimmered plum
- Estee Lauder Irresistible — a neutral-warm medium plum
- Tom Ford Indian Rose — a neutral pinky-plum
- Bite Beauty Rosewood — a lightly warm-toned plum
I forgot TF Indian Rose and how beautiful it is… goes to dig it out of the lipstick coffers…
YAY! 😀
Marque is a beautiful.
Agreed!
Marque is such a pretty shade, I didn’t even know it exists!
It is a gorgeous one!
Adding it to my wishlist 🙂
Really pretty picks! Marque is gorgeous, the shimmer really adds something without being too garish. I’ve wanted to try Garance for a while now, but they never seem to have it at any Guerlain counters I visit (maybe it’s not available in the UK or something?).
Guerlain’s Rouge G distribution seems to vary at each retailer.
Yay! This post is for me! I have been into plum and neutrals a lot! I really like Chanel’s Scenario which is deeper but still pretty plum.. have been eyeing Intense nude from Estee Lauder as well looks plum on me! 🙂
Yayyyy!
It’s fair to say I have something of a plum lipsticks addiction… Guerlain Garance was my wedding day lip color so it’s nice to see it on Temptalia’s list!
EL’s Irresistible seems a good contender to try out their Pure Color Envy line (…must…resist…and use the plum lipsticks I already own some more…)
Aww! 😀
All of them are so pretty ! I like how they are nudes/neutrals but not zombie lips. Great picks
Thank you, Katherine! 🙂
Could you drugstore versions of these posts? I love them, but am on a budget!
Hi Denniel,
I include my favorites, regardless of price point – I just didn’t have a drugstore favorite for this one 🙂
Indian Rose is beautiful and going on my wish list! I agree I love Garrance and I so happy I chose it! It is very flattering and feels so nice on my lips!
So glad you got Garance, Nicole! 😀
I haven’t really thought of soft plums for spring, but these are gorgeous. I’ll have to rummage through my stash for similar shades.
I think it must be that I find traditional springy pastels hard to wear, so I end up looking for alternative variations!
I love these kinds of colors but they always look muddy on me.
Oh, that is a bummer!
Now I need to go try these on! I am a big fan of Urban Decay Manic and would love a softer version for the warmer months.
Hope you can find a softer version of Manic!
Now THESE are plums I can wear 😀
Yay!!
These are gorgeous colours, I really like the Estee Lauder Colour Envy line. I have been looking into Marsala lipsticks and their shade of Emotional (which you reviewed) was stunning. Unfortunately so was the price ($50). But the texture was glorious.
Me too! Estee Lauder did a great job on it! The price is $$ though.
This post is just rubbing salt in my wounds because MAC aren’t selling Marque in the UK any longer and I can’t find a way to get it from the US. 🙁
Aww!
Hurrah for Garance and Indian Rose! They’re all quite lovely picks! 🙂 But if I had to go with a MAC, it would be plumful. 🙂 I can go with lip balm as well.. 🙂
Plums are lovely!
