JULY Color Spotlight- PURPLE

by Wasifa Ahmad Hasan

COLOR SPOTLIGHT is a monthly series on Sifa’s Corner. Every month I show 10 or more products featuring one specific color or products in the same color family. The color I chose for JULY is PURPLE!

The color Purple is the mixed result of Red and Blue. It is said that purple combines the calm stability of blue and the fierce energy of red.

The color purple is often associated with royalty, nobility, luxury, power, and ambition. It also indicates wealth, extravagance, creativity, wisdom, dignity, grandeur, devotion, peace, pride, mystery, independence, and magic.

Without further talk about the color itself, let’s see the products I have picked in purple color family. So get ready for plums, violet, magenta, lavender, rose pink……. 🙂

When I was reading the list, I wondered why you didn’t include MAC Rebel. But then I saw that the Armani is very very close to it.

I love purple, but someone once told me that wearing purple makes my skin tone look darker, and for some reason, that really stuck in my head! I still wear purple, but not as much as before. 🙁

Girl, you just wear what you like to wear, specially around winter. Cooler months are awesome to experiment with darker colors 🙂

Wow! Every product is so beautiful! Makes me want to do a purple look! Hey! I got an idea, why don’t we both do looks with purple makeup? That’d be fun! ❤
