Hot lip color No. 6: Brick red "We are seeing lots of rust and brick color trends in clothing, and this is echoed in some of the lip colors as well," says Powers. The rusty brown red lip is a modern take on the traditional red.

To choose the right hue for you:

For fair skin tones: Try a brick red with a matte finish like Revlon Matte Lipstick in In The Red, $6.99.

For medium skin tones: Go for a brick red with a hint of orangey rust, like Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color in Burnt Red, $23.

For dark skin tones: Try a true brown red, like Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color in Raisin Berry, $23. For something more natural, go for a deep orange-based earth tone, like Sephora Collection Lip Attitude in Brick Imagine, $12.

I really liked this article about finding your undertone. I think merlot would look best on me.

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 :)
