With temperatures dropping and the days getting shorter, it’s time to transition your makeup look from summer to autumn. Let’s face it, makeup during the colder seasons is just so much better than anything the warmer months concoct. After weeks of ‘clean girl’ makeup and dewy skin, it’s time to pull out the big guns.
We all have a makeup routine we love and religiously stick to, so it doesn’t leave much room for experimentation. However, when it comes to lip colours, it’s easy to switch them up. Lipstick is almost like an accessory, and depending on your mood can really help reflect how you’re feeling on any given day.
And if you’re not a bold lip kinda gal, then don’t fret. You don’t need to opt for a vampy lip just because it’s autumn, there are plenty of neutral shades that can finish off your look perfectly. So without further ado, here are our favourite lipstick shades for autumn and winter.
Giorgio Armani Lip Maestro Notorious is a liquid lipstick with a velvety texture and a matte finish. The lightweight, non-sticky formula delivers four hours of moisture and comfort, as well as eight hours of colour. It is enriched with light reflecting spheres for bolder colour. The foam applicator ensures easy, precise lines.
L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Made-For-Me Intense lipsticks offer rich, intense shades that have been designed to complement the existing palette of the Colour Riche Lipcolour franchise. The lipsticks are enriched with omega 3 and vitamin E, which leave lips moisturised and smooth.
