Ditch old mundane lipstick

Alisha Humiston

Fall is officially here, but the weather might not yet be in complete agreement. Get into the fall spirit by transitioning a mundane makeup routine into some fun fall looks.

An easy way to fall-ify any look is by choice of lipstick. Here are some of the hottest lip colors for the upcoming months.

Nude

Don’t underestimate the nude lip. Wear this for an everyday casual look or pair with an eye-catching ensemble. Go for a shade with a hint of brown to get the most out of this look.

Orange

Orange you glad I didn’t say banana? The best options for this color are to try to go for more of a leaf color rather than traffic sign. Wear this look to step up the lip game, while still remaining within the “box.” Draw attention to this look by pairing it with any neutral-colored outfit.

Purple

Yes, purple, but a fun and berry shade. Picture Daphne’s signature dress on “Scooby Doo.” This look is sure to get noticed, so wear it for a day when confidence is on overload, and be sure to own it. With this powerful of a lip, mute what you wear to avoid going overboard.

Deep purple

This is more of a grape juice stained lip, or darker, depending on how daring one might be. Add this shade to achieve a fun and girly.

Classic red

This color has secured its place in every season by giving its wearers the oomph they desire. This color is great to wear to the office, a formal event, date night or whenever feeling unstoppable.

Deep wine shade  

Picture a deep, rosy red, with a very subtle hint of brown.  This color will get acknowledgement, but it also carries more of a sweet and endearing undertone. This color is a go-to for pairing with chunky sweaters, especially ones that are cream-colored.

Cognac

Not quite sure what color this is? Think of a medium-brown shade with hints of orange and red, basically the most fall-related a color could get. Draw attention to this lip color by pairing it with basic black or white.

While natural makeup looks can be fun, switching things up with an elevated lip color can be the difference between a memorable or mundane fall season. Never forget to pair an interesting lip color with confidence in order to flawlessly achieve a beautiful fall look.
