There are tons of new lip shades hitting the drugstores that are perfect for embracing the trend, if you're brave enough to try it (not sure if I am yet!).
Here are my picks for Fall 2012:
Maybelline Color Sensational in Deepest Cherry and Plum Perfect. I love Color Sensational's honey nectar formula for it's super-moisturizing properties and smooth feel. These colors are the perfect wine/burgundy shades, like Kate Bosworth's lips above.

A great long-wearing option is L'Oreal Infallible Le Rouge in Persistent Plum. This wine shade will last for hours and hours while vitamin E keeps your lips moisturized. This plummy shade is similar to Katy Perry's look above.
L'Oreal's new Rouge Caresse is a lightweight lip color that stains your lips with a barely there feel.
This shade in Satiny Cocoa is almost a brick red similar to Camilla Belle's look above.
Cover Girl's Lip Perfection in Enamor is a dark red-brown and the highly pigmented, yet moisturizing formula will last for hours and hours.
Revlon's Just Bitten Balm Stain is a super moisturizing stain that lasts all day with no dryness. I really like this shade called Crush for fall 2012.
If you're not quite ready to go this dark, there are some gloss/balm options that will give you a wine/burgundy tint.
I'm totally in love with Yes To Carrots Color Balm in Soft Plum. It reminds me of Clinique's Almost Lipstick in Black Honey. It gives a plummy tint, without much drama. See my review HERE.
Another great option is Revlon's Colorburst Lip Butter in Fig Jam. These are more pigmented than a lot of balms on the market, but still sheerer than a lipstick.
L'Oreal Colour Riche Le Balm in Plum. While not quite as pigmented as Revlon's Lip Butter, this option will work for those who just want a hint of plum-wine tint.
Sp, will you be embracing bold dark lips this season? I'll probably be sticking to my nude shades, since I don't think dark shades look good on me, although I have been known to slick on a darker balm once in a while!
Stay tuned for Part 2 of Fall 2012 Makeup Trends tomorrow!
I haven't rocked dark lips since the 90's, but maybe it's time to revisit the look! I'm a huge fan of Maybelline Color Sensational and I'll probably give one of these colors a try after I see them in person.
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny, I just got Loreal Caresse in Satiny Cocoa! It looked like such a "fall" shade and I always experiment with darker shades in the colder months anyway. Nice to see I'll be on trend this year!
ReplyDeleteim loving these fall colors! dark lip stick colors are a must for fall. My favorite right now is hung-up by MAC. To die for!
