It is going to be in the 70’s today in Georgia, cue loud shouts of “hooray’s” and “wahoo’s”!!! These cooler temperatures secure that it is now officially the beginning of fall so it’s time to get serious about transitioning out of my summery makeup shades.
In my opinion the easiest way to switch up your look without any real skill or practice, is to bring on a NEW LIP COLOR! And what is more fall-like than shades of orange and maroon?! Here are two current lip products and why they’ll get lots of play as I start to wear more layers and boots instead of flip flops.
I don’t usually love lip products that even remotely have a bit of brown in them. But theBalm has surprised me with this Amanda KissMyLips that is a sheer MAROON BROWN with the feel of a hydrating lip balm and rich color. I like to layer this product and blot with a tissue then layer once again to get a true stained look. Extra bonus, is that is has a pleasant mild minty after taste that makes your lips tingle ever so slightly! The warmth and smoothness of this shade makes me feel like a yummy winter coat!
2nd Lip Look : Rich Orange High Gloss Lips
L’Oreal Colour Riche Extraordinaire in “Orange Tempo,” $9
My second lip look is the complete opposite in that it is high gloss, intense color, and ORANGE!! Being a University of Georgia fan, I am supposed to have a deep dislike for anything orange (we dawgs do red). But lately, I’ve fallen in love with this forbidden shade and find the contrast does my skin some good. This extraordinaire liquid lipstick formula by L’Oreal is ah-mazing and so full of color and magnified shine that it feels like it makes the surface of my lips look better than ever! I’m thinking orange is the new black, I mean red, I mean…oh the new classic! Btw, I haven’t seen Orange Is The New Black, should I??
What would be your top 2 lip colors for this fall?
