For all us northern hemisphere people, fall has arrived at our doorsteps. Even though summer is still my favourite season (let’s get real, I live in Canada) I do adore fall. Mainly because it is still sunny but cool enough to wear all my cute (but thin) coats, little booties and comfy scarfs. Oh and the layers, I LOVE layering my clothing. Also keep in mind that makeup can really switch up a look, especially lipstick. Changing a lip colour can do wonders and may even change the way you carry yourself.

Ok let’s ‘fall’ right into this.

1- MAC Yung Rapeunxel (Amplified) which means it has a creamy texture and is packed with colour. It has a bit of a sheen and is a warm purpley-brown. Would be beautifully paired with a bare eye look but tons of mascara.

2- MAC Punk Couture (Matte) which means it has a dry and flat finish with no sheen or shimmer running through it. Although it looks similar to Yung Rapeunxel in the photo it is actually very different. It is more on the cool side of the purple family.

3- MARY KAY Downtown Brown It is in the brown tones (hence the name) but what is interesting is that it has pink and gold flecks running through it. This would match very well with a light brown (even tan) smoky eye and someone who has green eyes.

4- MAC Fixed on Drama (Matte) this is a stunning cranberry like colour. It really looks good on all skin tones!

5- LANCÔME Fashion Icon (Metallic) this texture catches the light. It is sheer and has a cooler undertone because of the silver and blue flecks running through it. It’s a very romantic shade and would be paired nicely with a soft cut crease eye look.

6- BH COSMETICS Moody Merlot (Matte) this lipstick is highly pigmented. And although it is on the matte side it is still very creamy and will stay put for hours. Perfect for fall!

7- RIMMEL by Kate Moss #107 this is best described as pomegranate. It is just gorgeous with a dark smokey eye for an evening out.

8- MAC Private Party (Satin) this is a very similar to MAC matte formula however it has more sheen and is less drying on the lips. Also this mauve based shade is very Kylie Jenner.

9- ESTÉE LAUDER Decadent Fig is a sheer nude-brown. This colour is very flattering on mature ladies. It is a softer and enhances one’s own lip colour.

10- RIMMEL by Kate Moss #272 (Frosted) which means it holds a shimmer and almost shinny finish. It is translucent and bronzy, but what I love most about this colour is that it looks great on its own but it also layers quite nicely on top of darker colours.

I hope this was a fun, light read and inspires you to either go out and purchase a fall colour of your own or hunt through your makeup collection and pull out a wine coloured lipstick that you had forgotten about. Happy Fall Everyone!
