As the world continues to be transfixed by the ongoing investigation into which actress bit Beyoncé [1] at a recent party, another mystery is consuming us: what lipstick does she wear? The 36-year-old star recently shared pictures of herself sporting a lovely Victorian-inspired dress [2], which she paired with matching vintage-looking jewels and dramatic makeup. It was her moody lipstick, however, that really caught our attention.
Though we've yet to identify Beyoncé's exact lipstick shade, it appears to be a deep purple, nearly black shade with slightly brown undertones. The lipstick is an unexpected choice for the singer, but Beyoncé has been experimenting with her makeup more lately. She even wore bright purple lipstick to the Grammy Awards [3].
