Popular lipstick shades for Fall 2019
We may only be in the first half of the year, but we know that fall is just around the corner. Also, with a new season comes new trends. What better way to stay up to date than with gorgeous lips.
I don’t know about you, but every time I pass by a cosmetics store, I get mesmerized by the array of rainbow colors that lipsticks are available in. Think of any color and, guaranteed, there is a corresponding lip color for the shade you want. Not to mention the types that they come in, matte, glossy, semi-gloss, cream, you name it. Let me tell you, lipsticks come from a completely different world. Moreover, we are here to explore the best lippies that would complement your skin complexion.
You want to make your decisions based on research and not because you saw your friend looking glamorous with her bright red lipstick. Remember, what might look good on her, might only look blotchy on you. So, let’s get right down to it!
The favorite lipstick shades for this year are the nudes, plum, burnt shades. You can even go for metallic gold and silver which will only garner you appreciative stares instead of looking like you time-traveled from the future. Not only do these look great for the season, but they are also so popular nowadays.
Some examples would be MAC’s Fall Lipstick color in Sin for a little deep red shade of fun, Charlotte Tilbury’s Hot Fall Lipstick in Hel’s Bells to get your purple shade game on, or Huda Beauty’s Liquid Matte Fall Lipstick Color in Silver Fox to bring out the thrill-seeker in you.
Classic Lipstick shades
For Fair Skin
The common misconception for ladies with fair skin tones is that they are a boring canvas to work on when it comes to applying makeup. On the contrary, when done correctly, the fairest of skin complexions will look amazing in any bold or light shades. Some of these include:
1. Bright pink
This is one shade that is a classic go-to color for fair skin. Bright pink lipsticks create a bridge between femininity and boldness for ladies, plus it makes your porcelain skin glow.
NYX Matte Lipstick, Shocking Pink

Not be taken for granted, this affordable lippie packs a punch. It is highly pigmented that fully envelops your skin with brilliant color. It is richly formulated that glides ever so smoothly on your lips without the creamy texture. You are left with a matte-finish made for high-fashion.
2. Deep Red
Let’s face it; the folklore surrounding vampires is that they always have glass-like skin. And the way they are portrayed in the movies with their pale complexions yet bold deep red lips makes you want to secretly become one of them.
Deep red lipsticks are perhaps the easiest way to go from zero to hot and sexy in seconds.
Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick, Vampira

This deep reddish burgundy lipstick is what women prefer for their dark-look days. The lipstick is formulated without parabens and stays on the lips for a very long time. You don’t have to worry about reapplication after eating or drinking because the color isn’t going anywhere.
3. Muted Coral
Muted Coral
Coral-based nudes and shades are making a comeback this year especially since “Living Coral” is Pantone’s 2019 color of the year. Girls with fair skin can pull off this color in a cinch.
L’Oréal Paris Makeup Colour Riche, Tropical Coral

L’Oréal’s Colour Riche Lipcolor line is a crowd-favorite. They are enriched with Omega 3, Vitamin E, and argan oil to soften and moisturize the lips. The rich and creamy formulation delivers intense hydration without getting smudged away through your daily activities.
A lot of people have an obsession with their appearance especially the way and manner they look.
For Medium Skin
Those with olive skin tones are blessed with neutral undertones, meaning it is hard for you to go wrong in picking a lip shade. Most nude, pink, red, and orange shades will look good on you. The rest is up to what you are wearing to determine what lipstick you will use.
1. Red velvet
A velvety red matte lipstick is a staple in every girl’s makeup kit. The shade really brings out the glow of olive skin perfectly.
Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet, Rouge Charnel
Price: $37.00
Matte-lip lovers rejoice because this luxurious lipstick will give you what you want without the drying effect. The extremely rich formulation complements the matte finish perfectly, so you get a long-lasting color that is soft and smooth on the lips.
This lippie is also equipped with jojoba oil and shea butter to moisturize the lips.
2. Pink
They say that creating a contrast between the skin and the lips is the way to go. This is why pink looks so lovely on olive skin tones. The girly shade quickly adds a feminine touch without looking immature or awkward. It creates an allure that the woman is no longer a girl yet can still have some fun.
Make Up For Ever Rouge Crème Lipstick, Rose Wood
Price: $22.00
Pink shades are usually offered in matte finishes because of its light undertone that tends to disappear quickly. However, this lipstick is quite refreshing because it goes against the trend and is available in a creamy texture. The subtle shine makes your lips look oh-so-healthy.
The deep-rose shade has hints of purple and brown which adds to the richness of the lippie. No need to worry about smudging because this product is highly pigmented and provides an intense opaque color without drying out your lips.
If you are all about matte lipsticks, not to worry because this line is also available in ultra-matte finish.
3. Nude
Nude lipsticks for olive skin tones look best if it has a pink undertone. The pink creates a flattering separation between your lips and skin because otherwise nude will just blend in with your complexion.
Bareminerals Gen Nude Radiant Lipstick, Tutu
Price: $20.00
The delicate mauve color of the lipstick will make your skin glow with just the right amount of femininity. This collection provides creamy and moisturizing lipsticks with medium-coverage. You basically get a balm and lipstick in one. It is also free from parabens, sulfates, and phthalates.
For Dark Skin
Lastly, for darker skin complexions, deep colors look best. It would be good to avoid anything too light, nude or pale because it will leave an unwanted whitened look. Deeper shades naturally flatter this skin type.
1. Burgundy
Create your mood with this dreamy, alluring and daring shade. One cannot go wrong with burgundy. It’s not tacky, yet it makes a statement. It makes you look provocative and sexy without looking desperate.
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick, Rum Raisin
Price: $7.59
This lipstick is light on the lips yet provides bold and radiant color that lasts. It is available in four finishes, sheer, matte, pearl, and crème, so you can go with what you prefer.
2. Deep brown
It may sound counter-productive to use brown lip colors when your skin is already in that shade, but dark brown lip colors can be used to your advantage. Make sure to get a shade that is two shades darker than your skin tone so that it doesn’t blend into your skin. Also, many ladies choose to add some shimmer or gloss as the finish to create that perfect pout.
Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick, Birkin Brown
Price: $34.00
Named after the luxury handbag brand, this lipstick is sure to feel like you’re wearing a Birkin on your lips. This magical, matte lipstick stays on the lips while it hydrates at the same time.

3. Plum
One of the hottest lipstick shades in the market, plum looks absolutely gorgeous on darker skin tones. It is simultaneously exotic, enticing and alluring, not to mention an absolute classic with no fear of going out of trend.
Clinique Pop Lip Colour, Plum Pop
Price: $7.19
It’s rich, lightweight, highly pigmented and glides on smoothly on the lips. The color lasts up to eight hours and creates a modern-velvet finish.
Lipstick shades that work for blondes and for thin lips
In general, blondes with thin lips do better by avoiding very dark or deep shades of lipstick because of the stark contrast they create on the overall look. However, when appropriately applied, strong colors can look fantastic.
Light-haired blondes look great with bright shades of lippies such as mauve and pomegranate. Rich golden blondes go well with peach and coral shades while olive skinned blondes complement colors like dark peach and rust.
When it comes to thin lips, the golden rule is to stick to your natural lip line when using strong or bold colors. Do not forget to line the outer border of the lips before filling in the rest with your preferred shade.
Conclusion
It is the goal of this post to eliminate any lipsticks in your makeup bag that are left untouched. No more impulse purchases because Beyoncé endorsed a particular brand and color or you saw the shade while passing a kiosk and just couldn’t help it.
From now on, we only go for looks that work and for soft, glamorous, and kissable lips.
Lip stains are amazing beauty products that women cannot do without.
