Last year I put Maybelline's Divine Wine in my edit. This year that's been pushed aside by their latest release. Burgundy Blush has a really deep almost brown undertone to it but still has hints of red running through it. It's just as creamy as Divine Wine but doesn't smudge or bleed at all. It's long wearing, non drying and easy to reapply. This is one of the easiest colours to wear as it goes with everything and anything. A brilliant choice for ladies of a fairer skintone that want to a bold statment lip.
How gorgeous is this shade from Gosh? It has the deep red tone to it but it isn't an in your face red shade. It also has some deep purple undertones running through it so depending on the rest of your make up, the undertones may show than the colour in the bullet. Gosh matte lipsticks are extremely creamy, easy to apply, long lasting and non drying. They don't transfer easily and reapplication is just as easy as application. There are so many beautiful winter shades in their line, if this doesn't appeal to you, I'm sure there is one that will.
Oh Stila how you've stolen my heart with this shade. This doesn't look very dark or deep in the tube but once it's on the lips it's a dark burgundy shade with purple undertones. It's a liquid lipstick so saying it doesn't dry the lips out would be a lie but it doesn't zap all the moisture out of lips like some liquid lipsticks do. The applicator on this is a standard doe foot applicator but has enough flex that it bends and moves fluidly against the lips. It's thinner formula means you can reapply or layer this and won't get that nasty cracked finish. Definitely a staple in my lipstick wardrobe this season.
Another liquid lipstick I adore for this time of the year comes from Lime Crime. Wicked is yet again another deep burgundy shade that has a brown undertone running through it. It's not as forgiving on the lips as the Stila Liquid Lipstick but can still be worn for a prolonged period of time without transferring or cracking. It has a thicker formula that takes a while to dry but when it does you're left with a highly pigmented, opaque colour that'll definitely get people talking. Another great option for anyone who has farier skin as it'll really make a statement.
The only neutral lipstick I've been enjoying is this NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Rome. It still has that slightly mauvey, purple undertone but also has a lot brown running through it. The Soft Matte Lip Creams are like velvet on the lips, you'll almost forget you're wearing them. It's doe foot applicator makes application even and sharp so you could even forego a lip liner with this one. If you're not feeling all the deeper shades I've shown then Rome could be for you. It has a deepness to it whilst still being neutral and can be worn with a variety of looks and outfits. Definitely my favourite for a paired down look.
