This season, think beyond brick and beige.
We all love summer but when autumn rolls around, you can finally bust out those rich, bold lipsticks and push the boundaries a bit with trends. And, is there a product out there that can instantly transform your look better than a lipstick? We think not. That’s why, when we start taking note of all the season’s upcoming beauty trends, we always keep our eyes on the lipsticks at first.
So, there’s no better time to try out a sultry dark lip than fall. From deep purples to rich burgundies, we’ve selected some our favorite dark shades of lipstick that are sure to make a statement.
Here, the 5 shades we’ll be wearing for the next few months.
ALMOST BLACK LIPSTICK
Though a darker lipstick for fall isn’t exactly groundbreaking, this year the darks are dark.

DARK PLUM LIPSTICK
Dark plums are very similar to the back ones but they are less scary and more wearable. Try to skip the liner and apply it straight from the tube to have an intense but wearable effect.
