PERFECT LIPGLOSSES FOR FALL

So I am a girl that doesn't wear alot of lipgloss, especially in the summer because I get all hot and my face gets sweaty so I end up wiping everything off.  However, when fall hits, I am more likely to break out the gloss because I don't sweat as much and my hair is usually out of my face.  So here are a few ideas of glosses that are great to wear during the fall months.

  • NUDE
Nude lip glosses are great all year round but I think especially for fall.  Since summer just ended you should still have a little bit of a tan so you don't get completely washed out when you go nude on your lips.  A nude gloss is a great way to emphasize your other features.  During fall I like to play up my eye makeup and make it more dramatic so pairing nude lips is a great way not to look over done.

                                                              MAC C-thru
    MAC Young Thing
 * No, you arent seeing double, these glosses are slightly different in color but I posted both of them because they are great examples of the perfect nude gloss.  However, one is limited edition and one is not and since they are similiar enough, if you don't have the LE gloss, you can find the other at your local MAC.

  • NUDE PINK
During fall, you dont want to have bright pink lips.  That is a summer thing but if you find yourself partial to pink just make sure you find one that is muted.

*This a great nude pink lipgloss and the great thing about it is that its a creamsheen glass.  This formulation of lipglass by MAC is less sticky that regular lipglass so those of you who steer clear of sticky icky gloss, you might want to give these a try. 


  • GOLD/AMBER
I'm loving the metallic lipgloss trend that comes and goes with fall.  Having a pinky gloss that has a slight gold or amber shimmer to it is beautiful and matches the feel of fall perfectly.  It reminds me of the changing leaves.

*This is an example of the perfect pink gloss with amber shimmer and it is available at ULTA




  • PURPLE BRONZE
With fall we tone down the colors and tend to use deeper hues of lipsticks and glosses.  One of my favorites is this color.  I think that this is a color that doesn't work for everyone, but if you have a darker/tan skin tone you should be able to pull it off.



                                                               Chanel - #19 Blizzard


*This is a great purple-bronze shade but it is quite shimmery so if you dont like sparkle this might not be the gloss for you



  • RED
Red lipstick is very festive and you see alot of it towards the end of fall, when we start to transition into winter. This is the color most people stay away from because it is very bold.  If you are scared of trying red lipstick, try it in gloss form.  Virtually anyone can pull off red gloss and the great thing about it is you can tone it down and sheer it out if you arent feeling daring enough to go full blown red.



                                                                       MAC Russian Red

* Yes they make the famous Russian Red lipstick by MAC in gloss form.  This is my favorite red gloss and if you want to tone it down, just simple mix it with a clear gloss or you can lightly apply it with your finger to make it look more like a stain than a gloss.






***UNLESS SPECIFICALLY NOTED, ALL GLOSSES LISTED ARE PERMANENT COLORS AND SHOULD STILL BE AVAILABLE
