10 Red Lipstick Shades for Fall, Perfect for Every Mood (and Outfit)

Somehow, a red lip seems to work no matter the occasion or the season. From date night to an evening with the girls, we turn to our trusty crimsons and rouges to elevate our look from ordinary to all-out glamour. One swipe can reenergize our faces unlike any other beauty product. And celebrities agree: Gwyneth Paltrow once aptly said, "Beauty to me is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick," while Audrey Hepburn believed "there is a shade of red for every woman." Preach, ladies!

We stand by these famous beauties and praise the red lipstick, especially for the cooler months. Nothing brightens a cold and dreary day quite like a red lip. Autumn is all about the richer shades of red, from bold berry to deep burgundy. There's no shortage of red lipsticks, stains, and liners to polish your pout with this fall, so we searched boutiques online and off to unearth the best ones that will carry your look from now until the end of the year. Here are 10 shades of red we think you should consider adding to your beauty routine this season.
