I find that I actually prefer a satin finish to a matte one as a personal preference; satins have a little sheen and offer more comfort than your average matte, but they aren’t truly glossy either. Here are some of my favorites for fall!

Great picks, I’m going to have to check out Backtalk and Touch of Spice.
Thank you, Melissa!
Maybelline Nude Nuance is such a great shade! It doesn’t look that exciting in the tube or swatched on the hands, but on the lips, it’s one of few warm peachy browns that don’t make me look sick, and it goes so well with khaki olive shadows and smoky grey eyes. Definitely a big fave! Also love Maybelline Touch of Spice and Untainted Spice too.
I totally agree — it is a lovely shade on!
I love Maybelline Touch of Spice! I recently picked up UD 1993 and almost forgot about it lol. I need to pull it out this week. It’s such a beautiful fall nude!
You gotta try 1993!!
I have so many NARS Audacious Lippies on my wishlist! I think I’ve narrowed it down to Vivien, Vera, and Charlotte, for now 🙁
Eventually, you’ll have ’em all!
I purchased the Back talk after your review. It looked beautiful on you. But… It looked more peachy on me, and dull and flat. Not good.
Peachy! That is so crazy to me – it looks super pink even in the tube?
Love your choices here! All beautiful ones, Christine. Only weird thing is that on me, UD 1993 and Maybelline Touch Of Spice appear more matte, Idk why though?
Having seen these, I now feel compelled to try on Nars Vivian and Estee Lauder Unattainable for a more punchy, cheery berry shade!
I could see that! They do wear down to a matte.
I’d have to say MAC Rebel, Bite Beauty Juniper, ColourPop Frida (it’s technically a matte but it looks more satin on me), MAC Steam Heat, and NARS Brigitte (not specifically for fall but it works year-round).
Pretty picks, Kat 😀
These are such nice shades. I don’t own any of them. Don’t ask me how I never got Touch of Spice.
You need it!
I just love all your top 5 favourites. These a great lipsticks to purchase and many of them are inexpensive. I do really like the Maybelline Colour Sensational range.
Aw, thanks Genevieve!
Another great list! I love these because they always make me realize I have a great collection going. I just pulled Vivien out of a drawer. I somehow had forgotten about that one. Such a pretty shade!
Thanks a lot, Nicole 😀
Maybelline Touch of Spice looks lovely… I think I need to pick that one up! I love matte lip colors… but sometimes my lips need a little break… especially as we are headed into the winter season.
It is a really great, wearable shade! 🙂
I really want to get Nars Vivien someday soon!
I hope you can 🙂
Sorry if this is a silly question but are some of those lipsticks sweating? Is that normal?
Pretty normal in my experience!
I’m with you on the satin vs matte finish. EVERYBODY is doing mattes these days and I’m pretty much over it on the matte stuff. I like a more natural finish, not heavy gloss, but satin is my favorite, too. I really like that Nars color. I may have to check it out.
Let me know what you think of it if you check it out!
These are my favorites too.
Great minds think alike!
I’m sort of mad at Nars, or Sephora for not having Vivien. I really don’t get why they don’t have the full range.
I’ll have to see if Maybelline Touch of Spice is available here, it looks so good for easy everyday wear.
I wish they would make them universally available!
