Pucker Up: Lipstick Shades Perfect for Fall
-
- If you want a striking, vampy look that totally embodies the look of fall, then you should try this deep plum lipstick from Maybelline. A perfect alternative to more intense shades like black and chocolate, this liquid lipstick has a velvety matte finish that is designed with 2X the pigments for intense color.
-
- When you want to amp up your favorite nude shade in the most dramatic way, don’t hesitate to reach for an intense brown lipstick. For fall, it’s all about chocolate browns, which flatter practically every complexion…especially those with melanin. This gorgeous color also features a lightweight texture that applies like ink on your lips, and dries down instantly to lock in color for smudge-resistant, carefree wear.
-
- Throw a curveball into your fall lipstick color palette by giving this unexpected yet fashion forward silver shade a try. In terms of metallics, gold is generally favored to wear as a lipstick this time of year, but this standout silver lipstick from Dior may have you switching it up. It’s available in three finishes matte, metal and satin and the formula saturates lips with comfort and coverage, for 12-hour long wear.
-
- Red never goes out of season! This lipstick will keep your lips popping & hydrated!
-
- What’s the perfect way to merge a nude, metallic and brown lipstick? Well, by simply scooping up this stunning metallic bronze lipstick from NYX, of course. Your lips will stand out from the crowd courtesy of the shimmer and shine of the formula that delivers an intense color payoff full of pigment.
-
- If the primary fall colors aren’t your thing or you’re looking for an alternative to the traditional red, perhaps this vibrant pink shade from Taraji P. Henson’s collaboration with MAC will do the trick. The recently launched collection is all about the sexy glamour that Henson is known for and this fuchsia color in no exception.
-
- Everyone knows that nudes are some of the best go-to shades for daily wear, but you can get the same effect if you swap out your traditional nude for a dusty mauve shade. Combining the equal benefits of nude and soft pink, this feminine color from makeup extraordinaire Pat McGrath should be permanently in your makeup bag.
-
- You may be intimidated by the mere thought of it and scramble to think of just how to wear it, but if you’re brave enough to give blue lipstick a shot you definitely won’t regret it. The key to pulling it off is to let it be the focus, keeping the rest of your makeup minimal. Also for fall, a deep navy shade (like this one from Urban Decay) is preferred over a bright, electric blue often seen in summer.
-
- Mimic the colors of the beautiful fall foliage with this eye-catching bright orange lipstick from Milani. It’s infused with nourishing Vitamin A and C to keep lips soft and hydrated while providing a bold color payoff that takes center stage.
-
- If there is one lipstick color that most women can’t live without, it’s nude. Regardless of the season, nude lipstick has become a staple in women’s makeup bags all over and this one is a welcomed addition. From Dose Of Colors, this nude is light brown with flattering pink undertones that dries down to a matte, liquid lipstick finish.
These are only some of the amazing colors you can rock this fall! Of course its always up to your personal style. I’m feeling a little daring and may try that Christian Dior Extreme Silver Metal lipstick just to see. At the least I could definitely rock it for Halloween! And all of the nudes?! You can NEVER go wrong with a perfect nude!
So, tell us ladies, what are some of your favorite lipstick shades for fall? Do you prefer to be bold and dramatic or understated and feminine? Or are you all about that matte lipstick life or opt for the traditional lipstick formulas?
