With Fall colours in full bloom both in nature and on fashion runways, we take a look at the hottest shades of Fall lipsticks to sport this season.
For an understated appeal, choose Bobbi Brown Luxe Matte Lip Color, shade Burnt Cherry. This rust-coloured matte lipstick will complement any darker outfits and should be perfect for an evening date. It’s super lightweight, thanks to oil-infused powders and matte powder pigments that deliver full coverage without getting greasy.
Next up is Wild Pony, a special-edition lipstick by MAC Cosmetics, in collaboration with American fashion designer Brandon Maxwell. One of the two hues to have come out of this pairing, Wild Pony is meant only for the boldest of ladies. Wear this bright scarlet shade with a smile, and above all, confidence.
Nothing spells autumn like the limited-edition Dior Addict Lip Tattoo Color Juice in Litchi shade. This lightest of orange shades is meant to highlight your natural beauty in a simple yet stylish way. Dior’s iconic tattoo formula stains the lip for 10 hours straight, while still allowing you to get that ‘bare lips’ sensation.
If you’re looking for a tad brighter shade, maybe Tom Ford Lip Color Satin Matte 04 Peche Perfect is the perfect colour for you. A perfectly juicy orange to coordinate with Mother Nature, this lipstick is said to offer full coverage on a single stroke, apparently also plumping up your lips in a second. We suggest keeping the rest of the look understated, let your lips do the talking.
Chanel loyalists, meanwhile, can liven things up with the Chanel Rouge Allure Liquid Powder 958 Volupté – a bright fuchsia shade designed to turn heads. With softening oils and ultra-thin pigments, it adorns your lips like a velvety second skin, while the powdery matte finish lends a blurring effect.
So, test these fall lipsticks yourselves, ladies, and choose the one that’s perfect for your lovely lips.
