The 10 Lipstick Colors You Need to Try This Fall

Courtesy

Real talk: You should wear the color of lipstick you feel like wearing, 365 days of the year. However, if you're looking to stick to a more traditionally seasonal look, the beginning of fall is the perfect opportunity. After all, that's when makeup brands unload their best burgundies, plums, and deep reds.

And, if you do want to branch out, there are also some excellent options available for the new season. A wine-stained lip courtesy of Burberry's liquid stain is a cool alternative to a matte red, and if you really want to get wild, Tom Ford's sparkly blue is a fail-safe option.

Here, we've rounded up the best lip colors to try for fall 2018 — from classic, to unexpected, and everything in between.

NARS' liquid formula dries with a natural finish that doesn't get flaky or dry with wear. Bonus: The tapered doe foot applicator makes it easy to line and fill in lips without messing up.
