It is no secret that Fall is my favorite season. I feel like I wait nine months out of the year for Fall. The first cool night and I'm ready to break out the sweaters and boots. I love pumpkin lattes,changing leaves, Thanksgiving and football games on cool Sunday afternoons. Another one of my favorite things about Fall is dark, vampy lip colors. There are a lot of gorgeous products out there that help to achieve this look. These are some of my favorites.
Revlon Lip Butters
Sugar Plum: The deep mauve color of this Lip Butter is great for those who like a little darker lip but can't quite commit to a super dark color.
Fig Jam: Hands down this is one of my favorite Fall lip colors. It is a perfect brown-red with a slightly glossy finish. One of the reasons that I love the Revlon Lip Butters is because they are so easy to use. I can typically apply most of them without a mirror and they feel great on the lips.
Red Velvet: A perfect deep cranberry red. I am seriously obsessed with these things.
Chubby Lip Pencils
NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Palais Royal: A deep wine color with a satin finish. The only thing I had a little trouble with is feathering. To help prevent feathering I used my Urban Decay Ozone lip pencil underneath as a base and it stayed put.
Urban Decay Super-Saturated High Gloss Color in Apocalypse: One of the darker colors that I own, Apocalypse is a deep plum with a glossy finish.
Cover Girl Jumbo Gloss Balm in Jam Twist: Jam Twist is more a wash of bright cranberry color and less opaque than the NARS and Urban Decay pencils.
MAC Lipstick
Talk That Talk (Limited Edition): This is a perfect deep maroon color with a retro matte finish.
Dark Side (Permanent Collection): Dark Side is almost the twin of Talk That Talk but with a creamier texture and slightly glossy finish.
Sweet Succulence (Limited Edition): This is definitely the darkest lipstick that I own. It is a deep maroon that has deep purple tones. It is a lustre finish so it is the glossiest finish of the four lipsticks.
Caliente (Limited Edition): Caliente was released with the Temperature Rising collection - it is a brown - bronze color. It has a dazzle finish with glitter throughout the lipstick. One thing I did not love about this particular lipstick is that the glitter can feel a little gritty on the lips. However, that is not enough to keep it out of my favorites.
Lip Gloss
MAC Lust for Life (Limited Edition) Lip Glass: Deep berry gloss with a lustre finish. I hate that I love these limited edition products so much because it makes me not want to use them for fear of running out!
MAC Liquer (Limited Edition) Lip Glass: This color is so difficult to describe - it is a bronze-brown color with hints of pink. It is truly stunning.
MAC Soft Serenade (Limited Edition) Lip Glass: While this is not a dark color it does look beautiful over some of the more matte lip pencils and lipsticks. It is a nude lip gloss with shimmery glitter.
Revlon Colorburst Lip Gloss in Bordeaux: This is a great dupe for MAC's Lust for Life.
With any of these deep colors I recommend using a lip liner to help prevent feathering and to maintain the deep color. I have been loving my Urban Decay Ozone lip liner lately. It is a clear liner that helps hold color and stop feathering. I have also been using my MAC Talk That Talk lip liner from the RiRi Hearts MAC collection. It is a dark plum from the Pro Longwear collection and it seriously does not budge.
