My Go To Autumn/Winter Lipsticks

As soon as September rolled around I more than gladly packed away my Summer lipsticks and brought out the much anticipated Autumn/ Winter shades. As it's that time of year now to reach for a red or a berry tone, I thought I'd give you a peak at some of my favorites including some old loves from last year and some new finds

Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick 107 
This beautiful plum colour is great for day to night transitions. The long lasting non drying matte texture makes this lipstick wearable all day round. Transfer is minimal when eating and drinking, the dry texture of the lipstick itself pressing the colour onto the lips. This particular shade is stunning on everyone who wears it but I think it looks striking on anyone with a paler complexion.  It applies easily making a great product to take you from day to night or just to add a wash of colour to an outfit. 

 

















 

Bourjois Rogue Edition Velvet Grand Cru
If you're looking for a long lasting formula this Autumn then these liquid lipsticks are for you. These liquid to powder lipsticks apply like a gloss but dry to a non drying matte texture, making them great for long days. If you're not used to wearing liquid lipsticks they can be tricky to apply but once you get the hang of application they leave you with a long wearing pop of colour that won't budge throughout the day. 


  Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm Standout 
I have a feeling you'll be sensing a theme by now. My third go to lipstick is another matte formula. Revlon Colourburst Balms can do no wrong in my eyes. This shade is the perfect Autumn/Winter shade and so very easy to apply. With a delicious peppermint smell, this product is another one that presses the colour onto the lips making it a stay put beauty. This stunning browny red shade looks fabulous on any skin tone and is definitely a product I'll be repeatedly reaching for. 

















Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick 31
This stunning pinky red shade is one of my favourite sheen finish lipsticks. Unlike some sheen/gloss finish lipsticks this colour doesn't slide off lips, the colour pressing itself onto lips. Highly pigmented this lipstick applies smoothly onto lips, the long wearing formula great for those long days at work or a night out with the girls. Just like the Matte Kate Moss lipsticks this colour looks great on any skin tone but is a fantastic stand out lip for paler complexions.
















MUA Lipstick Shade 01
Another of my favourite sheen finish lipsticks, this classic red shade is perfect for any skin tone. Application straight from the bullet is easier than some, the non drying formula gliding onto lips seamlessly. This tone of red is the one shade I reach for when I want my lips to stand out. The formula doesn't dry lips out however it does transfer easily making it harder for that perfect red pout to stay in place all day. My advice would be to blot between each layer of colour to really press this shade into the lips.
















I hope you all enjoyed my picks. I would love to hear what your go to Autumn/Winter Lipsticks are?
Until next time lovelies xx
