Deep plum lipstick for a sensual, mysterious evening look
Deep lip styles have something lighter shades can never match: a sense of introspection, seduction, and conscious choice. A plum-colored lipstick represents the woman who doesn’t try to please but knows exactly the effect she wants to achieve — and lets the silence around her speak for itself.
Honesty is that shade within Delilah’s Colour Intense range. A sultry deep plum with aubergine undertones that moves between red and purple without committing to either. The creamy formula makes this deep shade wearable rather than heavy, with spherical polymers that provide a velvety smooth glide-on and Buriti oil that nourishes the lips during wear. The pigment is so saturated that one layer is enough for a complete, polished look.
Color: A sultry, deep plum with an aubergine undertone that gives mysterious depth to the lips.

Active ingredients
Buriti oil (Mauritia Flexuosa): In dark pigmented lip styles like Honesty, this oil plays a dual role. Buriti oil intensely nourishes the lip skin with its high content of unsaturated fatty acids and prevents the dark pigments from making the lips look tight or dull. The result is a deep color that still comes alive on the lips.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol): Plays an important role in pigment stability. Dark lip styles contain complex pigment blends that are vulnerable to oxidation. Vitamin E protects these pigments throughout the day, keeping the original depth of Honesty intact, even after hours of wear.
Spherical polymers: With a saturated dark shade, flawless application is essential — streaks or unevenness are much more noticeable than with lighter colors. These polymers ensure an exceptionally smooth distribution of pigment in one swipe, making Honesty look professional without lip liner or a specialized brush.
How to use it
- Exfoliate the lips for optimal smoothness and then apply a lip balm
- Carefully line the lips with a dark pink, plum, or neutral lip liner to prevent feathering
- Fill the lips completely with lip liner as a base for longer wear
- Apply Honesty in layers, starting in the center and working outwards to the corners
- Blot between layers with a tissue and repeat for maximum saturation and longevity
Suitable for
- Evening occasions, dinners, theater nights, and moments when depth is desired
- Medium to dark skin tones where Honesty appears especially rich
- Autumn and winter seasons when deeper shades better match the natural color palette
- Lovers of vintage- and gothic-inspired makeup looks
- Combination with well-cared-for, hydrated skin for maximum impact
Frequently asked questions
Does a deep plum shade make me look older than I am?
This is a common concern, but often the opposite is true. Dark lip styles actually have a rejuvenating effect when the rest of the makeup remains understated — think clean foundation, subtle blush, and well-groomed eyebrows. What a dark lipstick does emphasize is dryness and fine lines, so make sure your lips are well hydrated before applying Honesty.
How do I avoid Honesty getting on my teeth?
A classic trick: place your finger horizontally in your mouth, close your lips around it, and slowly pull the finger out. This leaves pigment only on the outer edges of the lips — exactly where it belongs. A second tip is that a filled base with lip liner helps minimize transfer to the teeth.
Is Honesty suitable for light skin or does it become too heavy?
Honesty can work beautifully on light skin tones but requires conscious styling. Keep the rest of the makeup soft and natural, especially eye makeup, and ensure good contouring so the deep lip color stays balanced with the face. On very fair skin, a light dabbing application technique can soften the pigment for a more wearable version.
