Purple is seeping into makeup and lilac lipstick is turning out to be an edgy alternative to the standard pink. As international beauties embrace it, follow their lead and try three daringly distinct looks for your pout.

Sexy tomboyish: This one's for adventurous young girls who like to wear their clothes and make-up differently from the bubblegum crowd. Generously apply a pastel lilac glossy lip colour over your pout. Restrict the liner to the upper lid, but ensure it's prominent. A hint of bronzer on the cheeks will bring out the lilac lips much better.

Dark and mysterious: A purplish lip colour is a more eye-friendly alternative to black goth lipstick. Bring out your inner diva in a matte lip colour and winged eyeliner. For a casual look, a just-out-of-bed hairstyle works best. An I-don't-give-a-damn attitude is a must!

Soft and feminine: This look is perfect for a formal function where you want to look ladylike. Try a lilac lip gloss that is a shade closer to lavender. Keep the rest of the face clean, except for brown liner and some shadow. Pin your curls to one side to channel Hollywood glamour.
