AUTUMN LIPSTICKS

With autumn now in full swing and winter well on it's way, it's the time of year that leaves me reaching for rich berry tones to pair with cosy grey knits, mauve shades for an everyday autumnal lip and festive reds for the lead up to Christmas!

The latest shade that I've added to my stash is MAC Plumful which has fast become one of my all time favourite lipsticks and my most worn shade this autumn. The classy, mauve pink/MLBB colour looks so effortless and feels light and silky on the lips thanks to it's lustre finish.

As the temperature slowly drops, I like to opt for something nourishing and hydrating for everyday wear. Korres Lip Butter in Quince is a daily staple for me, it's buttery texture melts onto the lips giving a pretty sheen of colour and it's packed full of nourishing shea butter and anti inflammatory and healing Quince extract to keep lips soft and supple.

If I want something a little festive then I reach for L'Oreal Color Riche Exclusives Lipstick in Blake. This pure red lipstick screams sophistication and paired with champagne eyeshadow and winged liner gives a beautiful classic, polished look. The formula of this is great, matte, long lasting and contains jojoba oil to keep lips soft.

For a bold, berry lip, MAC Rebel is the one. It's rich berry tones make this the perfect autumn lipstick shade. As with all MAC shades, the scent is heavenly and the lasting power of Rebel is pretty impressive, only fading to a stain after around 3-4 hours wear time. 

Lastly, for a vampy, glossy option, Sleek Gloss Me in Forbidden City is a gorgeous, pigmented berry gloss with hints of copper iridescent shimmer. It's affordable, fairly long lasting for a gloss and not at all sticky on the lips.
