Bobbi Brown Luxe Lip Color 3.8g - 16 Plum Brandy

Bobbi Brown Luxe Lip Color 3.8g in 16 Plum Brandy is a creamy, hydrating bullet lipstick in a slightly muted, dark plum-burgundy with cool undertones and a soft natural sheen. The formula glides on smoothly with good colour pay-off, and is designed to keep lips comfortable and conditioned while delivering a richly pigmented, refined finish — a wearable vampy shade rather than a stark dark.

About Bobbi Brown

• Bobbi Brown gold-engraved bullet — a weighty, polished case for handbag-ready touch-ups

Shade

16 Plum Brandy is a muted, dark plum-burgundy with cool undertones and a natural sheen — vampy without veering into stark gothic. It reads as a sophisticated, grown-up berry that flatters fair, medium and deeper complexions, especially those with cool or neutral undertones.

Who it's for

This lipstick suits anyone who loves the look of a darker, moodier lip but prefers a creamy, conditioning formula over a drying matte. Plum Brandy is particularly strong in autumn and winter wardrobes, evening looks and anyone who wants a refined alternative to a true red. The hydrating texture makes it a good choice for those with drier lips who find dark mattes uncomfortable.

How to apply

1. Exfoliate the lips gently with a damp cloth, then smooth on a lip balm and blot any excess
2. For the cleanest line, outline lips with a complementary plum or neutral lip pencil first
3. Apply directly from the bullet, starting at the centre of the lips and working outwards
4. Blot once with tissue and reapply for a richer, longer-lasting finish
5. Refresh through the day as desired; the formula stays comfortable through reapplication
