The No. 1 Fall Makeup Trend -- And How to Pull It OffIs gloss your go-to? Not sure you can pull off the bold new lip trends for fall? Let this be your guide |
3 of 10
To choose the right hue for you:
For fair skin tones: "If the contrast between your red lips and fair skin is too much, you can always opt for a gloss," says Powers. "The transparent nature of a gloss will let a little of your natural lip color come through and soften the overall contrast between lip color and skin." Try CoverGirl NatureLuxe Gloss Balm in Peony, $6.49.
For medium skin tones: Choose a rich opaque burgundy. If you have cool undertones, try a blue red (like Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Silky Sensual Lipstick SPF 15 in Red Taboo, $34); warm undertones, try an orange base (like Clinique Long Last Lipstick in Vintage Wine, $14.50).
For dark skin tones: Opt for a deep burgundy in a glossy finish. "Deep skin tones can get away with pushing the envelope with vampy dark lipsticks, so be daring and choose a color that looks almost too dark to wear," says Powers. Try Nars Lipstick in Viridiana, $24.

Exfoliation & finding your undertone are great pieces of advice. No berry or merlot lipstick for this fair skinned beauty mogul! :)

Great article, I really liked that you took the time to explain how important it is to find your true undertone and even explained how to find it. I love the colors of fall, so this was extra special to read about lip trends for this year. I myself, love the beiges and metalics, I'm a warm toned redhead, and this is my season to shine.

I agree with lip exfoliation. My lips always look better when I exfoliate. TIP: If you are not fond of the sugar scrubs, just pat water on your lips and brush them gently with your toothbrush :)
