Makeup Artists Say This Is *the* Lipstick Shade to Wear This Fall
I consider fall the perfect time to dive into my arsenal of beauty products and change up my makeup routine. Normally, I tend to go for a more natural look, but once September hits, I'm all about rich shades of brown, gold, and best of all, burgundy. A particular makeup item I like to wear in this hue is lipstick because it truly never goes out of style. Whether you like a deeper berry shade of burgundy or one reminiscent of your favorite red wine, I can guarantee there's a shade out there for you just waiting to be worn. It's so versatile, looks great on every skin tone, and feels just right as the weather starts to cool off. Even if you're skeptical to try it, trust me on this. I asked makeup artist and founder of her own self-titled cosmetics company, Alexa Persico, and she totally agrees. For a few of Persico's favorite shades that range from drugstore to high-end, keep scrolling. A few of my own go-to's are below, too.
"Not only is this the perfect shade of burgundy, but this formula will last you all day and night (seriously). This color is a deep, true burgundy with a matte finish that is a similar shade to your favorite bottle of Merlot—hence the name Fine Like Wine—it goes on smooth, doesn’t bleed, and won't rub off on your wine glass."—Persico
Chanel lipsticks are classic for a reason.This delicious shade of berry is absolutely gorgeous and the formula is both incredibly hydrating and long-lasting.
If you love Burt's Bees lip balm, you'll love the brand's hydrating lipstick even more. It provides eight-hour moisture with ingredients like beeswax, moringa oil, raspberry seed oil, and vitamin E. This luscious burgundy shade called Russet River is one of my favorites.
