Dark purple lipstick on asian skin?

[Mmmayumi]

i love the whole dark lips thing going on but could never wear black lipstick to college. i'm nc42 and need a dark purple lipstick that's still wearable, any recommendations??
TIA

Faultlessly by MAC

MAC's Smoked Purple l/s is sooo pretty it is not as dark as Faultlessy but they are close in color but it works so well on my skin tone and it's matte so not a lit of extra shine or lustre to make it look darker

Night Violet. OMG...LOVE.
I just bought Night Violet and Blackfire glimmerglass...it's a really sexy dark purple lip.

I second Night Violet.... though it's not purple, more like burgundy purple. I love the combo of Night Violet and Black Fire. It looks pretty good on me (I'm NW25/30) and I'm pretty sure darker skintones can rock it too

Yeah I like NV but I do not consider it a true Purple either

Tish now you're making me want Smoked Purple...We don't have a Pro store in Ottawa so I'll have to order by phone.

You think it will suit me?

It is GORGEOUS!!!! if they charge a lot I can pick it up the next time I go to the PRO store here and s/h to Canada is only like $2

Cool, I'll ask to see what s/h is and let you know

here it is with a little clear gloss ... It is a true Purple

Night Violet used as a stain is perfect..NARS FAst Ride is great as a stain also but can be built up to a full lippie.. if not, try Grape from LM and get a more sheer dark lip.

If you want to go budget, Revlon's Blackberry is a great lippie and can be used as a great stain.

Get a black lip gloss and you are set
