9 Best Fall Lipstick Shades For Fall
See ya next year, summer, because, really, let's be honest—we are all anxiously waiting for October and the beginning of cooler nights, shorter days, and endless pumpkin lattes. Oh, and there's something else you should be excited about: the best fall lipstick shades to add to your beauty arsenal so you can stand out this season.
Rich jewel tones, vampy plums and purples, and chocolatey brown lips are beautiful in the cooler months of the year. The bold shades give a depth to your makeup look and are easy to pull off when paired with neutral shadows and a matte contour. Dark lips balance out the richer fabrics of fall and winter, like wool and tweed, and that's why they work from the office to date night.
Fall lipstick shades can be sheer or opaque, cool or warm toned. There's really nothing you can't do when it comes to fall lips—it's all about finding what works for your style, comfort level, and skin tone. While matte formulas are typically more fall appropriate, you can really do anything you set your mind (and makeup skills) to.
