Now that the hot (yet glorious) summer days are officially behind us, it's time to embrace everything we love about fall: flannels, pumpkin patches, and all things cozy. As you're transitioning your wardrobe from one season to the next, enhance your look with these fall-friendly lip colors. While you might be ready to dive headfirst into dark, bold lipstick shades (you do you!), we're here to remind you that there are more fall lip color options out there, including red, nude, berry, rose, maroon, and darker vampy hues. These picks, ranging in price, color, and wearability, will complement nearly every skin tone, so you can mix and match until you find the best shade for your next fall adventure.
Looks like you just found your go-to apple picking lipstick: This matte red lip crayon, aptly named "Red Delicious," lasts roughly eight hours without smearing, smudging, or flaking off.
Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture YSL x Zoë Kravitz in Arlene's Nude, $38
Named after actress Zoë Kravitz's grandmother, "Arlene's Nude" is an understated, timeless color that'll instantly warm up any fall look. Because of the subtle purple undertones, this color will especially pop on anyone with cool skin tones.
This rose shade from Aveda gives you the best of both worlds: It has the color payoff of a liquid lipstick, but feels like a balm once it's on your lips. One reviewer said that her "lips have never been softer" — even in the coldest, driest months.
Now, "Chocolate Martini" is a color (and a cocktail) we can get behind. Nourish your lips from the inside out with this antioxidant-packed lipstick, and complement your tan complexion at the same time.
