5 Autumn Lipsticks

Something a little out of my comfort zone… rumour has it the 90’s brown-toned lip is back for Autumn, so I thought I’d take a little look at a few other shades that I thought would be popular for Autumn/Winter. Ranging from beige-nudes to purples to deep browns….

Buberry Sepia Pink No.32*

L’Oreal Rouge Caresse Nude Ingenue*

Lancome Rouge in Love Lipstick 381B*

YSL Rouge Pur Couture 42*

Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Colour Uber Suede 34*

Wearing Lancome 381B… my favourite of the five…

This range of shades is a little out of my comfort zone, with browner tones and purples – when I tend to lean towards safe pinks and nudes. But it’s good to try something different! I actually discovered I did like the darker shades and will give them a go – in public and everything – this season. Of the five shades in this post my favourite has to be the Lancome – one of those crazy shades that looks terrifying in the bullet, but on is a gorgeous rich, yet bright purple shade. Goes to show, you can’t judge a lipstick by the bullet!

Of the other shades, I was surprised by the Bobbi Brown – when I saw it I thought there is no way I would be able to wear it but thanks to the creamy texture it’s actually far more wearable than I expected. The safest option has to be the L’Oreal. The Burberry is lovely – a rosy, brown-toned shade that’s a dream to apply, one that changed my view on the brown-toned situation. The YSL is lovely to apply and it’s bright and creamy – with a slight golden metallic sheen. This is the most night-time of the five shades I picked out in my eyes.

What do you think of these Autumn shades… going to step outside of your comfort zone for the new season?
