Ease your way into the brown lipstick trend by choosing a shade that has pink and honey undertones, like Hourglass Femme Nude Lip Stylo, $30, in Nude No. 6. We love the mauve brown chubby pencil because the formula is incredibly easy to apply and requires minimal touch ups throughout the day (because you know if you're wearing brown lipstick, it better look #flawless).
"Brown lips look amazing against matte skin and an eye bathed in warm neutrals," says Stapleton. The evidence: Shay Mitchell. Try M.A.C. Lipstick, $20, in Film Noir to get her vampy, reddish-brown shade.
Even superpale girls like myself can get in on the brown lipstick trend. Case in point: Kat Dennings's plummy-brown lipstick paired with matte makeup. Try Wet n' Wild Velvet Matte Lip Color, $3.49, in Looking for Truffle, a cruelty free product with rich, opaque coverage and plummy undertones (available in 2016).
Another great starter brown lipstick (if you will): Nars Lipstick, $27, in Hot Voodoo. It's basically a nude lipstick, but 1,000 times better, thanks to the hints of shimmer and bronze-brown hue.
Yes, shimmery brown lipstick can look completely modern -- and sexy. To get Palermo's metallic brown lip, try L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Lipcolour, $7.99, in Bronzine. It looks supershimmery in the tube, but once applied, it looks glossy -- and has the staying power of a lipstick. Pair it with matte, neutral-toned makeup to avoid metallic overload.
