This is the time of year that I begin to wear matte much more often because the searing heat begins to let up a bit, also richer shades come more solidly back into my rotation. So now MAC Royally Riotous, UD After Dark, MAC VG I & III, ColourPop Nevermind, and the like get shown more love! My new favorite everyday shades are Too Faced Pink Chocolate and UD Liar. MAC Marque for ALL yearlong!
UD After Dark is a current fav too! LOVE
I”ve been thinking about getting Nevermind, do you find it performs well on your lips?
I bought it with its same named lipliner, and while it takes a few coats for full opacity, I personally love it. It reminds me of MAC Smoked Purple quite a bit. It is very dark, but pretty!
Revlon’s Red Velvet Lip Butter, so sad its been discontinued.
That’s a hard one. I’ll just go with the first thing to enter my head!
For everyday I love the Sonia Rykiel Sublime Rouge in 24. Not sure why but the subtle mauve/plum tones might have something to do with it. And for evening it’s between Buberry Lip Cover in Bright Plum or Givenchy Le Rouge in Framboise Velours. 🙂
Dior Sunset Blvd! Wait, are they discontinuing this? Noooooooooo! AND I’m off to Google / if necessary, buy backup/s…
I am currently on the hunt for a perfect fall shade right now, no luck so far but I don’t mind trying new products until I find one 🙂

With temperatures still in the 90s here, it doesn’t feel like fall yet, so I’ll have to answer with the lipstick I wore the most last year when it finally got cooler: I think that would be Nars Velvet Matte pencil in Dolce Vita.
A little to early to ask that question. I guess a plus shade
I think I have two I have been using back and forth, I use Mac Whirl or Urban Decay Revolution in Rapture. I may be daring and use a deeper colour very soon.
Rapture is such a great color, I wear that one a lot.
Definitely Bite’s Mulberry
Haha! It would be more appropriate to ask me my favorite dozen shades for fall. I never wear the same shade in a week and lots of my colors only get worn once or twice per season! My bite frozen berries will be in rotation this fall, as well as Estée Lauder’s Emotional, Mac rocker, bric-o-la, retro, fashion revival, Nars Janet, Jeanne, Silvia, and I will pull out a variety of reds I’ve collected over the years. I also mix my shades, liners and glosses to create the exact shade I am looking for.
I don’t think I have one yet… I just go for the same corals all year round. That said, lately I’ve been getting more and more into mauve.
I put my Lavender Whip away for the fall and get out my Goddess Of The Sea.
KVD Bow N Arrow. It’s been the prefect neutral to grab when I’m in a rush.
Hmmm . . .Diva, Crème In Your Coffee, Viva Glam IV, Hearts Aflame. I just did a NARS Audacious haul but I don’t know that any of them are Fall colors.
I think I should change my name to MACLemming.
When I saw you listed this, I asked myself: “How did I forget my MAC Diva?” Yep, that goes on my list above, too!
The weather hasn’t been feeling very autumn lately, but it’s probably going to be NARS Walkyrie. Maybe… it could change! 😀
It’s a tons up between Milani Matte Fearless lipstick and Embrace liquid lipstick. I’ve been wearing both nonstop this month for a vampy lip fix
I have been wearing Nude Beach by Clinique and Smashbox Honey.
Love Smashbox Honey, but its more of a summer color for me, more peachy. I really miss Chai, Honey’s big sister, more peachy brown tone, better for fall. I bought two, just in case, so I have some left, but when that one’s gone, I don’t have a really good dupe for it. MAC Mocha is closer to Honey, but more matte.
I’ve been switching it up often, but my top most used fall lipsticks are shaping up to be: Bite Beauty Juniper, MAC Cosmo, and MAC Velvet Teddy.
Revlon’s Toast of New York — love that retro vibe!
Agree – tough question! Last year it was UD Rapture. This year, I’m really into the MAC Vamplify in Peer Pressure, the Sephora Deep Plum Luster Matte, and the Trish McEvoy Sheer Lipsticks in Mulberry and Florence. The Trish ones are super sheer so the Mulberry is just a hint of plum and Florence is a hint of brick/rose.
I’ve never had a go-to fall lipstick but this year I could see it being Tom Fords Blake, Gustavo and Bite Beauty’s Barberry.
Tough question with so many favourites. Overall, I head into heavier coverage lipsticks covering the 90’s browns, the deeper blue reds and darker plums; frequently in matte formula. Is that a vague enough answer.
I’ve been going with the browns.. been wearing Mac Twig…
It’s always a mauve & deep red for me. This year brands are Stila liquid lipstick in “Patina” & Limecrime “Wicked”.
Probably Kat Von D Hellbent for a traditional fall vamp shade, but my favourite ones to wear in the fall are Too Faced Melted Fig and Revlon’s Toast of New York.
MAC Craving, Midi Mauve, and Spirit. I’m a MAC lippie girl 🙂
Kiko Milano’s Velvet Mat Satin Lipstick no.609, MAC dubonnet , urban decay 1993, mac russian red was also a big favorite so far and mac whirl paired with OCC lip pencil in sebastian 😀 love the vampy reds and dark browns this season
I’m still holding on to summer! But I am using Colourpop Tulle and Dior Addict Oversize a lot lately.
I recently did a huge lipstick purge, followed by a serious lipstick binge over the past few months, so I still haven’t found a favorite… However, I have a feeling NYX Licorice & WnW Photobomb and/or Nightcap will be getting a lot of love. Also, L’Oréal Zoe’s Red! When I did a hand swatch, I was a bit disappointed, but it’s sooo pretty when actually applied.
My lipstick purchases have been primarily vampy shades, with some nudes & reds, so I have amassed quite a few “Fall appropriate” shades! All together, over the past 3 months, I bought 40-50 new lipsticks…
H&M redid their makeup line and I got one of the lipgloss pencils in When in Rome, a lovely sheer but buildable brownish wine red. It’s a gloss so not particularly long-lasting but goes on pretty smoothly and looks fantastic and a lot more expensive than it is, lol. Anyway it’s a new fave – there seem to be a few of those among the new H&M line.
Kat Von D’s Lolita and Colourpop’s Grunge. LOVE THEM!
i don’t really suddenly wear a lot of plum shades since where i live we don’t have fall per se, so i stick with neutrals but due to everyone being “fall fall fall” i get the spirit and i wear more often fall appropiate shades… i’d say rebel, hang up, ysl rose culte to say some
Too hard to choose only one! I wear dark colors all year but I REALLY wear them in fall and winter. My favorites are MAC Smoked Purple, Anastasia Potion, ColourPop Feminist, and MAC Sin. I’m still waiting until I have the extra cash to get KVD Damned because I’m sure I’d be including that if I had it. 😛
Oh that’s tough. I have a few I rotate through. I’ll just have to list them I think.
MLBBs/Pinks: Chanel Rouge Coco in Marie, Marc Jacobs in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Reds: NARS Cruella, Besamé’s 1946 Red Velvet, MAC Studded Kiss and MAC Diva
Plums/Purples: MAC Plumful and ColourPop Too Sexy (from their Back to Cool collection)
Vamps: MAC Hang Up, MAC Viva Glam III
Browns: MAC Antique Velvet, YSL Rouge Volupe in #3 Beige Ultimé, ColourPop Grunge
Oh I don’t know! There’s always my all year round go-to, Velvet Teddy, of course… I can come back with a better answer in a couple of weeks 😀
I’m not very loyal to my lipsticks; every season I find a new love. Last year it was UD Mrs. Mia Wallace. I might bust her out again, or then again, I might cheat on her with one of the many deeper reds/plums I’ve been coveting lately. So maybe it’s too soon to tell what my favourite will be this year?
I like darker shades! Bite Frozen Berries Plum, Revlon Black Cherry, Gabriel Organics Meritage. For everyday, I rock Fresh Berry. I do that all year though 🙂
This year I been rocking the chocolate lip
So Color pops Pitch
Kay Von D Lolita
And NYX Natural lip liner with Wet and Wilds Bare it All
Tom Fords Negligée
I don’t have a single “go to” fall lipstick, and I’ll wear any color any season. Lately I’m loving Kat von D Piaf, Nyx Suede Cream in Stone Fox, Jcat Pout-holic Lipstick in Candy Man, and ColourPop Ultra Matte in Dr. M. Other fall favorites are Nyx Wicked Lippies in Trickery and Coldhearted, MAC Viva Glam Rihanna 2 lipstick & lipglass, Wet n Wild Fergie Cream Lipstick in Bebop, Wet n Wild Megalast Lipstick in Sugar Plum Fairy, UD Mrs. Mia Wallace, Performance Colors Black Rose, Too Faced Melted Villain, and Makeup Revolution Atomic Lipstick in Make Me Tonight and Serpent.
I love Maybelline’s Colour Sensational lipsticks in Divine Wine and In Style Sienna. I also love Milani’s lipsticks in Teddy Bare and Candied Toffee.
I’ve never really had a go-to fall lipstick before as I only started getting into lipstick about a year ago and have spent a lot of time experimenting with various formulas and colors. That being said, this year I’ve been finding myself drawn to several shades from Urban Decay. I really love Bad Blood and Stark Naked from the Matte Revolution line and Gash from the regular formula of Revolution lipsticks.
Revlon Super Lustrous in Black Cherry.
I’m a MAC lipstick girl through and through my faves are Rebel, Dark Side, Del Rio and Offshoot ( which I believe was LE I’m finishing it up and using it as my everyday lip!) just to name a few.
MAC Touch lipstick has been my go to all summer and fall. Its dark in tube but sheer on lips and the perfect brown/red for redheads!
So far I’ve been loving Bite High Pigment pencil in Rhubarb, LA Splash Smitten Lip Tint in Lovegood (name changed recently to Lovestruck), Kat Von D Studded Kiss lipstick in Lovecraft, and Mac’s Diva! Fall is my favorite lipstick season by far (I mean, isn’t it everyone’s?), there are so many I love!
I recently bought Mac Captive and I’m loving it. I hate using this term, but it really is one of Mac’s unsung heroes, it doesn’t look like much in the tube, but on, it’s like rebel & girl about town made a baby.
