Fall favorites: Lipsticks!
Fall is finally here, my favorite season of the year! Because I am so much of a lippy person it would be extremely appropriate to share with you all of my go-to lipsticks for the fall season. I'm going to start slow, with my more neutral shades.
Fall is not only a time for bold and dark colors, it's also a time for neutral and more toned down colors as well. These colors are more work friendly when I decide to wear makeup at work I will use one of these for my lips. Sable from Bite had came in a holiday gift box last year. It's a great universal color for any season but I would catch myself wearing it a lot and then I found Taupe from Mac's permanent collection. I've been building up my neutral collection lately, and Taupe seems to be my go-to for almost everything. It's not too dark nor is it grey.

Originally I was only going to go with just Sin. Both times I went into my local Mac boutique I did swatches of both of them and wouldn't take the plunge on the two because they looked so similar. I'm so happy that I did go with both though. Yes, they're extremely similar however Diva has more red than Sin and that's what I love about it. There's a subtle difference but that difference really makes or breaks a look I find. These lips are the perfect bold lip for a casual night out or just going shopping. They're not overpowering but bold enough to make a statement.
It is perfectly acceptable to go out in public with extremely dark colors. For my super dark color I choose Cyber with Nightmoth as a lip liner. For dark colors, a lip liner will help substantially with bleeding. If you decide to not go with any sort of lip liner I would recommend a lipgloss on top so in case it did bleed, you will have an excuse! Cyber was my go-to color all last year and even into the winter season. It's definitely a cult favorite for me.
Okay, it's Halloween and you're going out to a party! Don't forget Serpentina! I love this shade so much because it is so unique and fun. Lime Crime lipsticks glide on so smoothly, it's great. Poisonberry is a really alien-like purple. Both are essentials in order to be fully in the Halloween spirit. Both are super sparkly and so nice to play with.
I took a swatch photo for all of the colors in order and how they compare to each. Trying to go up from light to dark. I love how it resembles fall colors and leaves fairly well. These are my favorite go-to fall lip colors. If you're looking for a nice bold fall color, or a more neutral not as out going shade, I recommend you take a look at these shades.
