After Blush, what I love the most is lipstick without much question. Specially in the colder seasons where I can got for my shades of choice: reds, wine and deep browns. Today I'll be sharing what shades I'll be wearing while transitioning from the extremely suffocating hot weather to the more pleasant breeze of Autumn/Fall.
To be quite honest, I am actually more excited over Autumn/Fall this year and quite tired of the Summer - I just want to be able to sleep and feel cousy around my blankets. Although I am pretty sure I'll be regretting this decision once the winter sets in and I start to feel cold everyday. We cannot have everything, right?

NYX Lingerie in Exotic & French Maid
I have talked a lot about these guys lately. Last season I did not reach too much for them but for this one I can see myself doing it regularly without much fuzz. First of all they are more creamy than regular liquid lipsticks, which makes them perfect for the colder days - specially then my lips don't deal well with cold - while also being super long lasting. Exotic is a really warm shade that I consider more of a red lipstick, which is perfect with a warm matte look and a nice eyeliner. On the other hand, French Maid is a more purple tone that will be really nice for this season, specially since I am a lot into purple this year! If you want a nice comfortable transitioning liquid lipstick, these are a really nice option!
NARS Audatious Lipstick in Barbara
If you are more into bullet lipstick - which is coming back this year with full force, Barbara is going to be a really lovely option to get. It is a super comfortable pink-nude matte lipstick that doesn't get dry of sinks into weird lines. It won't be as long lasting as liquid lipstick, but without much eating or drinking it will hold more than a regular lipstick. It's my choice for when I won't be out of the house many hours or when I can do retouches more easily.
MAC Lipstick in Craving
I guess this is the return of a favourite! I used to wear Craving A LOT back in the day. I started to reach again for this lipstick specially due to the purple makeup vibes I have been feeling lately - maybe I should do a post about it later during the season? - and this has been a cult favourite of mine. I've heard people saying that no one cares about MAC lipsticks anymore, but here I am still reaching for my beloved and actually thinking about trading my old caps over a new lipstick. Any recommendations?
Sephora Lip Stain in 41 and 24
Probably the ones I have already reached for. Mostly because I love to wear them all year around. As I've said before, 41 is probably one my favourite nude lipsticks, since it is a really gorgeous warm brown nude that goes with pretty much any look. But when I am looking into getting a bold lipstick, 24 is no doubt my go to choice. It can act as a really dark red lipstick (if with a lip liner) or as a purpleish lipstick. None of these will bleed out during the day or feel uncomfortable. I am actually looking forward into getting a couple more shades!
And if anyone is wondering why there was such a long gap between posting, I want to let you know that it was due to a really stressful week at my Faculty. I was part of the reception of new Students and it was really stressful and at the same time grateful event. I am looking forward to share more content with you guys!
And you, which lipsticks have you reached for while transitioning into the Fall/Autumn season?

This was so interesting. I love my MAC lipsticks, they're affordable and they make me feel fabulous: Russian Red, Velvet Teddy, Viva Glam II, Ruby Woo...I can go on foreva.
ReplyDeleteahahaha I totally understand you! I actually "forgot" about MAC lipsticks, but nowadays I am having a really big wishlist surrounding their products again. Starting with Velvet Teddy, which is the perfect nude lipstick!
