My Top Five Autumn/Winter Lipsticks.


From Left to Right: MAC - Pink Plaid // MAC - All Fired Up // Topshop - The Damned // Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss - 04 // Chanel Rouge Allure - Pirate



If there are any seasons that makes me want to break out my lipsticks, its Autumn and Winter. I cannot help myself when it comes to this time of year, I just want to wear all the berry toned lipsticks. Call me crazy, but you know I'm right. 

So this year is no different. Here are my top five lipsticks that I will be rocking right into january no doubt. 

MAC - Pink Plaid: This is the nudey one of the bunch. Everyone has to have a go to Autumn nude and this one is mine. It is quite a pinky nude which is exactly what I like especially in the colder months as it does not make me look as ill. Always a plus! It is a matte lipstick, which yes can be a little drying in Autumn but a good lip balm underneath and its fine. This kind of colour is great if you want to go a little more dramatic on the eyes. 

MAC - All Fired Up: Possible the brightest of the bunch, MAC's All Fired Up is one of those perfect bright Barbie pinks that I am so very drawn to. This is a 'Retro Matte" shade from MAC (any idea what that means?) I quite like matte lipsticks actually, especially in Winter when your hair is flying everywhere and a sticky gloss just wont cut it. 

Topshop - The Damned: First up, how cute is the Topshop packaging on their makeup? Too cute. This is quite new to my collection actually. I purchased this when I was in Dublin recently, if you follow me on Instagram you can keep up to date :). I already had four Topshop lipsticks in my collection so I knew they were great quality (you can read my other review here) This guy is quite sheer in comparison to the other colours I show, but the colour is gorgeous. This is a true "I've just eaten a handful of blackberries" colour and I love it. 

Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss - 04: This lipstick is one of my favourites in the group. I am obsessed with this super dark plum shade. This one is a satin type finish I would say. Its comfortable to wear on the lips but isn't overly glossy which I am not a fan of. I love paring this lip colour with a strong winged liner. I think it just looks amazing on anyone and any skin tone. 

Chanel Rouge Allure - Pirate: I had to include this red shade from Chanel. I know myself that sometimes a little glamour is all you need and I think this lipstick definitely encompasses that. This is a great lipstick for all those christmas parties you no doubt will be attending. Nothing is more festive than a red lipstick and although its almost a pinky red I still think its a perfect Autumn/Winter shade. 

What are your favourite Autumn/Winter lipstick shades?
