Jessie J: Lilac lipstick was a mistake

British pop star Jessie J admits she made a mistake by wearing lilac coloured lipstick to the Brit Awards.

Pop star Jessie J appeared to have avoided a mirror as she arrived at the Brit Awards on Wednesday night wearing lilac lipstick.

The British singer sadly ruined her red carpet look by wearing the pale colour on her lips, which made her look washed out.

It also appeared that Jessie J was wearing a foundation a shade darker than her natural skintone as her complexion differed from the fair skin of her neck.

Accepting her make-up choice was a fail, the popstar took to Twitter to acknowledge her mistake.

"The lip didn't work. Get over it. I have. Onto the next look!" she told her followers.

Luckily she made the right decision with her outfit. The 25-year-old opted for a sparkling plunging Julien Macdonald jumpsuit. With its dazzling embellishments the flashy number was enough to take attention away from Jessie's lips if only for a few seconds.
