Paint a Plush Pucker with Rich Plum and Red Lipsticks for Fall!
When cooler weather rolls in, that “go-to” pink lip gloss you wore over the spring and summer just won’t cut it. Fall and winter fashions call for a bit of a makeover in the lip department, and the right lipstick can help usher in the season with a bang – not to mention cap off all your stylish outfits! Be sure to prepare your lips for lipstick by using an exfoliating scrub to remove dead skin. Chapped lips can really ruin your gorgeous lip look in a heartbeat, especially when wearing darker colors. Wear lip balm with SPF while exercising outdoors and always apply a moisturizing lip conditioner before bed. Plush, soft lips are yours for the taking and they make lipstick look all the better! Here are some great picks for fall lipstick:
FALL LIPSTICK #1: KAT VON D PAINTED LOVE LIPSTICK IN UNDERAGE RED
I adore the texture and coverage this red Kat Von D Painted Love Lipstick gives on the first swipe across your lips! I also love the packaging – it comes in a deluxe tube with a clear Lucite bottom that shows off the color inside, and the cap is stenciled with silver roses on matte black—inspired by Kat's favorite tattoo.
FALL LIPSTICK #2: BORGHESE MOISTURE ADVANCED CARE LIPCOLOUR IN STILETTO
You can’t beat a lipstick with anti-aging conditioners and ingredients to stimulate collagen production. Borghese Moisture Advanced Care Lipcolour in Stiletto is a mauve that is great to wear when you want to play up your eyes, as it resembles the natural color of lips and won’t compete with your latest take on the fashionable smoky eye.
FALL LIPSTICK #3: MAX FACTOR COLOR PERFECTION LIPSTICK IN WALNUT
This smooth, gel-based formula deposits micro-layers of pigment onto lips for lasting color. Max Factor Color Perfection Lipstick in Walnut is a slightly shimmery brown that will look stunning on all medium to dark skin tones. I love the wearability and the price of this lipstick.
FALL LIPSTICK #4: URBAN DECAY LIPSTICK IN JILTED
Hot pink lipstick is cool for fall! Have you seen Christina Aguilera rocking hers at various functions? Shocking pink lips put the finishing touches on a black ensemble and I love this Urban Decay Lipstick in Jilted packaging. The tubes are made from purple metal, and pierced with a mini gunmetal dagger. Ultra cool.
FALL LIPSTICK #5: ORIGINS FLOWER FUSION LIPSTICK IN CALLA LILLY
Luscious floral waxes including jasmine, lavender, rose, raspberry, violet and orange blossom, combined with other botanical waxes, create a cushion of color that glides on with ease to pamper, protect and perfect your lips. Origins Flower Fusion Lipstick in Calla Lilly is a real winner.
FALL LIPSTICK #6: STILA ROCK THE VOTE RED LIP COLOR
In a partnership with Rock the Vote, Stila created this fabulous red lipstick that is indeed inspirational! A stunning orange red, Rock the Vote Red is a lip potion you can rock year round and look smart!
