I love transitioning to fall makeup looks. One easy way to do that is just with the color of your lipstick. I am really a nudes girl, but when fall rolls around it’s fun to incorporate some deeper tones and bold vamp colors. Here’s a selection of my favorite lip colors for fall.
Mac Heroine – This is a slightly brighter, plum-purple with warm undertones and a satin finish. I love Mac lipsticks that have a creamy consistency and great color payoff. This is definitely a pop of bright color for fall. With a price tag of $17, I would put this at an average priced lipstick and high end quality.
Colourpop Love Bug – This is a terracotta colored liquid matte lipstick. When I think of fall, I think of the leaves changing and the color rust. This lipstick gives a nice pop of fall color to any outfit. Plus it’s only $6 which is why I always gravitate to Colourpop vs. ABH.
Nyx Tea Rose – This matte lipstick by Nyx is less than $6 and has excellent coverage for a drugstore end lipstick. I love the Tea Rose color for fall because it’s a more muted mauve and makes me think of curling up in a cozy sweater with my favorite book.
Rimmel Airy Fairy – This is a blush based nude with a light sparkle and sheer coverage. It’s a cool toned nude which is great for any season, but very nice for a natural fall look. This is also a drugstore brand lipstick, but for less than $6 it’s such a steal.
Yves Saint Laurent #003 – This color is called Ultimate beige which is a peachy nude color. I absolutely love the packaging for this lipstick and it’s a very smooth silky lip color with great coverage. This lipstick is the high end one I am suggesting, since most people don’t want to spend over $30 on a lipstick. However, this is a color that goes with every outfit and can be worn all year long. It is definitely a staple color.
Nyx Chocolate Crepe – This is an intense butter gloss by Nyx, which is a nude with more mocha tones. I love this color when I want a deeper nude lip that has a bit of sheen. It’s starts out as a thick sticky texture, but over time the glossiness wears down and leaves a nice color behind.
L’Oreal Blake’s Red – Blake Lively’s shade is best described as an iconic red. It’s more on the cool side, kind of a bright cherry color. It gives a bold look that’s a bit Marilyn Monroe like. As for texture, the L’Oréal Riche has a modern lipstick feel: lightweight, balmy and it doesn’t dry out your lips. The finish isn’t quite a matte, just a creaminess with bold rich pigments. For less than $9 this lipstick is easy on your wallet.
Nars Liv – is described as a “deep aubergine.” It’s a cool-toned black cherry purple with a glossy shine. This color is definitely the Vamp lipstick for fall and winter. This lipstick is also on the high end spectrum at $32, but gives a dramatic depth to your lips.
Urban Decay Nighthawk – This brown red lipstick is such a dark sexy neutral shade that will take you from a fall day to an glamourous evening out on the town. The coverage on Urban Decay lipsticks is excellent.
Urban Decay Bad Blood – This lipstick is a red with blue undertones, which looks great on every skin tone. This is a matte lipstick that doesn’t dry your lips out and like Mac is a mid range priced lipstick at $17.
I hope this selection helps you pick a few colors for your fall palette. XoXo
I just placed an order for some purple colors from colourpop. They just released their Hello Kitty line today. I will have to check out that Nars color you recommended.
Oh wow hello kitty line!! I will have to check that out for my niece 😀 I love Colourpop’s lippie stix in flawless which is a fun violet color.
Pretty colors. I always like to match my lips with the season. This year I have been about some matte browns with a little gloss on top.
Sounds pretty!! I did a mocha nude matte lipstick the other day and also added a bit of gloss 🙂
Those are lovely colors!!I love the depth of the fall colors!
Pretty colors – I really love fall colors they look so good! And add a bit of gloss and you are good to go!
I’m absolutely loving the terracotta colored liquid matte lipstick and for only $6 you really can’t beat the price!
I absolutely LOVE that NYX butter gloss. I tried some from my Ipsy bag not long ago and it is perfect. I’d probably wear it in any color.
Ooh I love all these lipsticks! I need to get some new ones! I’m always lost when I try to choose though because I don’t know much about make up!
I wore lipstick the other day, a darker color, and everyone asked me why I was dressed up so much! – I usually just go with lipgloss :-X
A lot of great choices! Definitely something to look into for me, I need to try out different colors and see which ones suit as I don’t normally go that bold but I love the look of both of the Nyx options
I’m mac lipstick obsessed!!!! I love the colors of urban decay but I hate that it doesn’t try and rubs all over -_-
I love MAC lipsticks, especially the matte ones. I’m in the process of updating my summer to fall looks.
I am not a lipstick person but keep seeing these subtle and nude colors and want to try them out so bad. Thank you for this list to get me started!
I love a great mauve color for Fall. I switch to one with higher moisturizer during the Fall as the weather dries out.
I love fall lipstick shades as well. The matte ones are a plus for me too. The berry shades, the deep dark reds, plums, those will always be on top of my list for fall!
I’m not a huge fan of lipstick. I’m more of a lip gloss girl, but I love these colors!
I love lipsticks and I don’t think you can ever have too many. I think I buy a new one every time I am in a cosmetic store!!
Great brands and colors. I love dark and wine colors so much!
I just love fall lipsticks! I usually go for a more natural makeup look but I do love myself a dark cherry lip like that NARS Liv. If only my budget allowed, I would totally pick that one up along with the YSL – I love versatile shades like that too. The other more wallet-friendly options are great too!
I love a good lip color and these are all so awesome. I have not heard of some of these brands so I need to check them out.
I don’t wear a lot of lipstick but I have a friend that does. It is kind of like an obsession. I will have to show her these picks so that she can try out some new ones.
These are all such great lippie color choices! And great deals! Thanks for sharing babe.
Aww I would have just said I’m wearing it because I look great in it!! 😉 Sometimes people don’t think before they speak lol! I’m sure you looked fabulous!!
Oh you know there is an awesome trick for that!! I take a tissue and tear it in half so that it’s only 1 ply. I lay that over my lips and brush some translucent setting powder on my lips through that and voila the lipstick is set and stays on great!
I love glosses too, I was never a lipstick girl until the past year 😉
Awesome, I hope she enjoys 🙂
