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 |
7 of 10
To choose the right hue for you:
For fair skin tones: Opt for a metallic that is either light (like a metallic nude) or more vibrant (like a bright lip color with a metallic finish). "I love Make Up For Ever Lab Shine Lip Gloss in #M8, $18. It's a bright metallic cherry red," says Powers.
For medium skin tones: Any golden-hued lipstick or gloss will look great on you. A fall favorite: CoverGirl Queen Collection Lipcolor Lipstick in Spicy Seduction, $6.99.
For dark skin tones: Stay away from silvers, which tend to be too bright; gold and copper will look more natural. You can also try a dark berry metallic lipstick or gloss. "Deep skin looks incredible in any metallic shade," says Powers. "You can really play with texture and try an opaque metallic gold or copper lipstick as a base." Powers likes Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense in #17, $19, and suggests adding your favorite gloss on top.

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 :)
