The Best Fall Lippies For Everyone

Fall is, in my opinion, the best time of the year for makeup. Everything gets a little bit bolder, a little bit deeper, and a little bit richer — especially lipstick. And who doesn't love a new, autumnal lippie? But the only thing better than one fall-inspired lipstick is two fall-inspired lipsticks. Day-to-night lipstick palettes get a makeover when the temperature starts to drop. Instead of transitioning from a classic nude to a classic red (not that these colors should ever be abandoned), try transitioning from a darker, rosy brown to a rich berry hue. And the best part about these types of shades? They're more universally-flattering. Which means it won't be an ordeal to find your ideal brown and berry lippies.

But even though most brown-toned neutrals and berries will look good on any skin tone, there are still certain shade variants that will pop better on different skin-tone depths. Think pinky browns and raspberries for lighter skin tones all the way through plummy browns and mulberries for darker skin tones. Ready to find your perfect fall lipstick-pairings? Here are the ideal day-to-night hues for every skin tone to rock this autumn.

Fair-Light: Day

Fair to light skin tones will benefit from pinky browns and light taupes like these. Whether a matte, gloss, or satin formula, a variety of finishes in the right hue will still stand out against lighter skin tones.

Medium-Olive: Night

Plummy pinks have a little more depth than raspberries, making it the perfect berry-hue for medium and olive skin tones.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to pick a few raspberries — lipstick, not fruit.
