Trust Me—These Lipstick Colors Will Be Everywhere This Autumn

When I say that my excitement for autumn knows no bounds, I’m not exaggerating. My stomach practically does summersaults thinking about cozy knitwear, festive drinks, and—my favorite of all—fall makeup looks. Specifically when it comes to lipstick. My go-to makeup look in the colder months is usually a browny-orange shadow on the eyes with something shimmery on top, a simple sweep of highlighter across my cheekbones, and a dark lip to finish it all off. Whether it’s a vampy red or a deep berry tone, it’s probably already in my lipstick collection—and that collection really comes into its own during the autumn months.

And I’m not alone in my love of seasonal lipsticks. Most of the makeup brands that I swear by offer up a plethora of fall lipstick options for my favorite season. From sheers to mattes, there really is something for everybody, and I have a list of recommendations to prove it. At first glance, it’s easy to think that these shades might not be for you, especially if you don’t naturally gravitate towards bold lipstick colors. But trust me—these shades are surprisingly wearable.

So while it was difficult to condense my list of recommendations (I am truly obsessed with lipstick), I’ve come up with a comprehensive list of the 13 best autumn lipstick colors that I recommend to everyone. Keep scrolling to see which ones made the cut.

1. Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk Medium

Pillow Talk Medium is the ultimate warm berry-pink shade that I swear by. The original Pillow Talk is the OG that everyone knows and loves, but I truly think that this shade should be a go-to for people with tan to dark skin tones. Whilst this is a matte formula, it feels so creamy on the lips, which Charlotte Tilbury does best with several of her lipsticks.

2. Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Scarlet Spell

3. Charlotte Tilbury Look of Love Matte Revolution Lipstick in First Dance

This blushed berry-rose shade is a newbie to my collection but has already gotten so much use. Apply a simple swipe for an effortless and long-lasting look.

4. Nyx Professional Makeup Shine Loud High Shine Lip Gloss in Boundary Pusher

5. MAC Viva Glam I X Pride

MAC never misses a trick with its incredible lipstick shades and formulas. This brownish-red adds the perfect pop of color to any look. MAC has also recently released a limited-edition design created by the incredible Dominic Skinner, global senior artist at MAC.

6. Uoma Beauty Badass Icon Matte Lipstick in Miriam

7. Revlon Kiss Cloud Blotted Lip Color in Berry Soft

If you’re looking for a hint of color to add to your lips this fall, then this blotted option is a must-have. It gives a hydrating, blurred effect to any look.

8. Lime Crime Velvetine Matte Lipstick in Beet It

This deep-berry shade from Lime Crime offers a powerful and confident look to the lips. Once applied to the lips, it dries down to a velvety matte finish.
