my autumn lipstick favourites


I can't be the only person who switches out their lipsticks when the weather changes? I mean, I don't wear bright pinks or oranges in the summer, I'm more often than not, wearing a nude lippy and I do carry this through to the winter, however, I go for darker nudes, browns and even throw in some more berry tones, so you could say something similar to the stereotypical autumn colour palette.

So, I thought I would share a few of my favourite lipsticks with you, to give you a little bit of inspiration.



Kat Von D Everlasting Lipstick in 'Lolita' : I picked this one up in Sephora whilst I was in Canada and I am so in love with the colour. It dries into the most beautiful dark berryish-nude colour; which you can see in the first photo of the post. The lipstick itself is super long lasting as it dries matte, which is perfect if your as lazy as I am and can never be bothered to touch up your lipstick throughout the day!


 Urban Decay VICE Lipstick in 'Uptight': The most perfect nude, but on the darker end of the scale, perfect for your everyday autumn make-up look. Again, this is a long lasting matte lipstick, but not a drying one, which is key in the winter, as the cold weather normally chaps your lips to hell and back, so it is important that if you are wearing matte lippys they aren't drying because it will be very obvious; especially if your lips are already dry, and it could look a little bit gross.


MAC lipstick in 'Stone': Another matte lipstick (can you tell I'm a fan of a matte lip yet?) in a very autumnal shade of brown. I really love the purple/grey undertones in this, it takes it from being a gross flat brown lipstick to being quite a chic stand out colour. It took me a while to warm to this as I was unsure on weather the colours suited my pale complexion, but throw on a bit of bronzer and it's a whole other ball game!


MAC Lip Mix in 'Nude': Yep you guessed it, its dries matte. This is literally the most beautiful colour, on and off the lips! It dries into a really nice browny nude shade with pink undertones. A shade that is absolutely perfect for day to day wear and even for a more 'done up' look.
Applying lipsticks with a lip brush is never a go to for me, but this is SO easy to apply, the colour glides on and requires no layering, completely opaque on initial application and it lasts ALL day!
