Fall Lips

For me, lipstick is a daily essential. I love how bright colours instantly add something to monochrome outfit. Being Autumn, I am leaning towards the deeper colours - although I do like wearing them year round. I thought I'd share with you my top 4 lipsticks for Autumn which I am currently using.

1. - YSL Rouge Volupte Shine
Shade 3



Although it looks dark in the bullet, it is incredibly sheer. I'm not usually a huge fan of sheer lipsticks but it's texture makes it incredibly easy to apply, making wearing it a pleasure! It perhaps comes out a bit darker on the lips in real life, but it's gorgeous purple tint makes it a true fall colour. I do not find it lasts for very long, an hour maximum but it does leave a lovely stain. For a lipstick so creamy, this can only be expected!
2. - MAC, Up The Amp

I have previously written a blog post on how much I love this colour, although as summer colour! However I am also wearing it as an Autumn colour, its creamy texture and true purple colour enticing! I would definitely recommend this colour to anyone. See my previous blog post for more information on this shade.
3. MAC, Rebel

This has got to be one of my all time favourite lipsticks. On my lips here is a light converage, built up however this creates a deep vampy purple which I love! It's satin texture allows it to stay on for hours and it doesn't feel too drying which for me is ideal. It's a great must-have Autumn shade, very striking against pale skin.
4. MAC, Diva

 This is yet another lipstick which can be built up to create a vampy look. It's deep red and brown tones makes it complementary on paler skins and well as darker skin tones. It can occasionally be drying as it is a matte but apply a lip balm before and it's fine! This is perhaps one the longest wearing lipsticks I own, lasting 4 plus hours. Matched with simple eye makeup, this lipstick creates a bold statement. Perfect for anyone who wants to stand out.
Arm to wrist - MAC Up the Amp, YSL Rouge Volupte Shine 03, MAC Rebel, MAC Diva

All of these lipsticks are perfect for someone interesting in adding Autumn colours into their makeup routine! Whether you layer the lipstick to create a rich colour or simply stain the lips with a small lip brush - they'll look great! Try something different!
