Top Five Best Lip Colors For Fall

With fall upon us and the hot and humid days almost gone, I tend to get even more invested in my makeup looks than I do during the summer. To me, with cooler weather comes more vampy, stylish makeup looks rather than just the functional, light weight, go-to makeup that I reach for when its hot outside. One of my absolute favorite makeup products to test out and wear every day are lip products. I love experimenting with different shades and formulas and wearing a different lip color every day. Especially in the fall. I wanted to share my top five favorite fall lip colors with you all in preparation for the festivities of the season.

1. Too Faced Gingerbread Man

This lipstick is absolutely stunning and it makes it even better that it is fall and winter themed. The packaging is to die for with little gingerbread men all over the top of the product. The lipstick itself is scented like gingerbread. This is Too Faced melted matte liquid lipstick formula so it will apply as a liquid to the lips and dry down to a matte, budge and smudge proof lip color. The color of this lipstick is perfect for fall. It is a rich brown color with an orange undertone. This is the type of color I envision wearing to a bonfire on a chilly Saturday evening or rocking at the pumpkin patch on Sunday afternoon. This lipstick retails for $21 and is available at Sephora and the Too Faced Website. Unfortunately this is a limited edition shade, so if you want to get it I suggest getting it before the holidays start as it will probably be sold out by then.

2. Wet n Wild Ravin' Raisin 

This is a classic bullet lipstick with the tried and true creme finish of one. Not only is the color of this lipstick stunning and perfect for this time of year, it is only .99cents. Yep. But the formula of this product is on par with high end lipsticks that I have tried. This color in particular is a gorgeous, deep plum shade that just screams fall. Its a creamy and comfortable formula so it won't dry out your lips. The only down side to having a creamy lipstick in a dark shade is the fear of it drifting outside the lip line while being worn, but an easy fix for that is pairing the lipstick with a budge proof lip liner. Another upside to these lipsticks is that they can be found at practically any drugstore. I highly recommend the entire line of bullet lipsticks from Wet n Wild, but especially Ravin' Raisin for fall time. 

3. Dose of Colors Campfire

This liquid lipstick is new to my collection but I have fallen deeply in love. The Dose of Colors liquid lipstick formula is one of the best liquid lipstick formulas I have ever tried. It is not overly drying and remains comfortable on the lips for hours. It stays put all day and does not budge outside the lip line, even when eating and drinking. I frequently wear this formula to my 8 hour day job and find that I never have to re-apply or check to make sure my lipstick isn't looking crazy. The color campfire makes me think of fall, naturally because of the name, but also because it is the perfect fall nude. It has a hint of that rich orange-brown without being to overpowering. It is such a wearable shade with just a tiny bit of a fall twist to it. I can't get enough. This product retails for $18 and can be found at Ulta or on the Dose of Colors website.

4. Colourpop Point Zero

Of course I can't talk about lip products without speaking about Colourpop. And with good reason. Their lipsticks are reasonably priced, with their liquid lipsticks coming in at $6.50 on the Colourpop website. Plus they are a great formula. They can be a bit on the drying side, so it is good to pair a lip balm underneath this one if you plan to wear it for the long haul. But the upside of that is they do not budge. Point Zero is a collab done by Kathleen Lights who is a beauty youtuber (if you don't know who she is, which I'm pretty sure you do, please go check her out, you won't regret it). It is a very cool toned grey brown. Although I had my doubts about this color at first, it looks extremely flattering on every skin tone and pairs well with any makeup look. It is the perfect grungy fall shade that still remains in the nude family. It is a great affordable option for fall. If you are a fan of this shade Kathleen Lights also has nail polish in the shade Point Zero to match with her lipstick. You can find that on KLPolish.com.

5. Anastasia Beverly Hills Kristen

Last on my list is a lip gloss for all of you who hate having anything on your lips that is remotely close to feeling drying or uncomfortable. But the Anastasia lip glosses are far from sheer. They pack a pigment filled punch on the lips and leave them looking plump and juicy and full of color. The shade Kristen is a beautiful pinky brown nude color. It is perfect for every day fall wear to the office or just out running errands. Or pair it with a brown lip liner for a night out. This lip product can pretty much do it all and will look fabulous the entire time. Since it is a gloss, I do find that I have to re-apply throughout the day but it doesn't bleed outside my lip line. This gloss retails for $16 and can be found at Ulta, Sephora, and the Anastasia website.

That concludes my list of the top five lip colors for fall. I hope it was helpful and that you enjoyed it!
