For dark purple, there’s MAC Cyber (black-purple, below) Lipstick. It’s a Satin, so it’s totally opaque and very intense, but not as dry as a matte.
—-
For black, L.A. Girl has an affordable black lipstick called Dreamer, which is glossier and semi-opaque, but if you want something that is really opaque and inky-black, then it’s got to be Lime Crime’s Styletto, or a black kajal meant for the eyes!
[UPDATE: According to nicoleyoleypoley, Rimmel and Illasmaqua have black lipglosses as well, but my local drugstores don’t seem to stock these though we have Rimmel. I think if you’re in the UK, you have more options than the rest of us, as there is also Barry M which I TOTALLY forgot to mention!]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m058idvfsA1qh70jmo1_500.jpg)

Classic Pin-Up Look in Rose Tones (MAC Rose Light pigment with Rebel Lipstick)
—-
Step 1: Apply a soft bronze/brown along the outer half of the socket line (along the hollows), and along the outer half of the lower lashes. I used a medium brown from The Body Shop, but this is such a generic shade you can use one from anywhere.
—-
Step 2: Apply a soft sparkly pink on the lids. I used MAC Rose Light from the Strawberry Patch Crushed Metallic Pigment stack (Vera Collection). You can use MAC Swish or Da Bling for a similar shade in a less sparkly finish.
—-
Step 3: Use a black gel liner and draw in the outer flick parallel to the curve/angle of your lower lash line.—-
Step 4: Pull the liner from outside in diagonally, in an almost straight line until you hit the center of your lids. Then continue along the curve of your lash line to the inner corners.
Then apply a beige, yellow or white liner along the water line. This is a useful trick when wearing pink/peach/red tones on the lids, as it will minimize the “red-eye” effect and make your eyes look brighter. I used NARS Rue Bonaparte pencil.
—-
Step 5: I applied a very soft pink blush to the cheeks (MAC Pearlmatte Face Powder in Sunday Afternoon; use Well Dressed or any other soft pink if you don’t have access to this. I just happen to love it.)
—-
Step 6: Apply a deep purple/magenta liner (I used NYX Purple Rain pencil) very light to lips and fill in to get a sheer purplish base. Then fill in with a deep burgundy-rose lipstick like MAC Rebel.
