It's no secret that purple reigns supreme when it comes to all things beauté. From smoked out eyes, to spectacular lips and let's not forget electrifying blush the hue is all the rage on the runway,on the streets and just about any where else on this beautiful world of ours. We here at LPB are here to report that the shade of the moment, possibly of the lifetime (we're dramatic people!) is none other that Purple! It compliments all complexions, works well day or night and can be worn all year round. What I particularly love about all things purple is that it's decadence, it's a rich hue and ups the ante each and every time. I particularly love this look by the Makeup Maestro Tom Pecheux for ERIN LAUDER - the color story is outstanding from eyes to nails and it's just works! Here's my picks every dame and gent should have in their arsenal if ever they are in the mood to make the hue the look of the moment.

Time To Say Good Buy: Anastasia Beverly Hills 'Brow Wiz' Mechanical Brow Pencil, $21.00
Let's Talk Brows: Colored eyebrows are not my thing so I will not be advocating them here. But nothing completes a FACE like an immaculate pair of brows that will open said visage. I am a true believer in all things ANASTASIA and never leave home without my brows. This pencil is easy to use and the color goes on smooth. If you are a novice when it comes to brows you can also purchase her stencils kit too.

Time To Say Good Buy: LORAC 'PRO' Mascara, $23.00 
Let's Talk Lashes: Mon Petites, if ever there was a mascara that gave you full coverage it has to be LORAC 'PRO' - it coats the eyelashes and it's truly pigmented for a dramatic effect with no clumping. It's money well spent.

Time To Say Good Buy: MARC JACOBS BEAUTY Shameless Bold Blush COLOR 218 Tantalizing - deep magenta ,$30
Let's Talk Cheeks: We questioned Marc Jacobs Beauty products because we weren't sold on him selling us products that worked let alone on women of color. While we aren't in love with the brand we can appreciate this blush and how lovely it looks on certain skin tones.

Time To Say Good Buy: M·A·C Lipstick in Herione, $16.00  

Let's Talk Lips: M·A·C knows lips, not only does it knows lips it is well versed in pigments as well and Herione is no exception. Ladies and gents if ever there was a reason to buy lipstick it would have to be this hue!

Time To Say Good Buy: Zoya Nail Polish in Mikka,$9 
Let's Talk Nails: Mon petites, where do we begin with this Zoya Nail Lacquer? The Wintery Deep Wine Purple polish, is elegant, edgy and so on trend. At only $9 a bottle it's an indulgent that will not break the bank but will surely make you look like a million bucks.
