Hey Makeup Lovers!
There are actually three lipstick looks that are
huge for this fall.
They are varying levels of difficulty. But don’t
worry, I break each one down for you so you can totally slay whatever
lipstick look you like.š
First of all, red or crimson lips are major this fall.
They kind of always are (much to my delight, I’m a big red lipstick fan if ya
couldn’t tell), but red is very much in style this fall.
The lipstick looks you will be able to achieve after reading this post (and/or watching my video) are:
1.“Worn-In” Lipstick
2. Blinged
Out/Bejeweled Lipstick
3. Bold Ombre Lipstick
So get your red lipsticks ready and get set to create
some fun, trending lips!
You can watch my video tutorials here
Which Red is Right for Me?

There are many different answers to this question. And if
you Google it you can find a plethora of suggestions based on your skin tone, hair
color, etc.
Great advice.
But the real answer is: whatever red you like!
If
there is a shade that makes you feel incredibly beautiful and confident, wear it!
Don’t let beauty “rules” dent your confidence.
If you haven't found a red lipstick you love and are
still looking, a good basic guideline is to look at your
skin’s undertones (cool, warm, neutral) and go for red shades with the same ones.
Lipstick VS. Liquid Lipstick
Good debate.
The difference between the two?
Traditional lipstick is a solid crayon-like, well, stick.
You apply it by gently rubbing it across your lips.
Liquid lipstick is a liquid pigment that requires a
little more precision when gliding it along your lips with an applicator or brush.
Which is better?
It totally depends on what you’re most
comfortable using or what type of lip effect you’re trying to create.
For example:
For my “Worn-In” lipstick look I used a regular crayon
lipstick.
It was perfect for smudging.
Liquid lipstick typically dries matte or
patent, so it wouldn’t look ideal for a worn-in, blotted effect.
For my Blinged Out/Bejeweled lipstick look I also used a traditional
lipstick.
However, liquid lipstick would work just as well, if not better in
getting the gems to stick.
For my Bold Ombre Lipstick look I used liquid lipsticks.
They gave me more precision and the ability to trace the lip line.
Alternatively, you could use a lip liner, but I think the easiest way to go for
this bold ombre effect is with liquid lipsticks.
Enough Chatting, How do I Create These Fall Lipstick Looks?
Scroll on for tutorials of my three lipstick looks!

Lipstick Look #1 “Worn-In” Lipstick
1. Basic Red
Lipstick: To start, you really just want to rough out the shape of your
lips.
Lightly fill in your lips as you go, don’t worry about being too precise.
Don’t apply too much lipstick.
2. Use Your Finger & Smudge: Next, use your
finger to rub and smudge the lipstick around your lips. And that will pretty
much finish off this look. Really simple and easy to achieve.
And these steps will give us...
Our "Worn-In" Lipstick look!
Really quick and simple to create.
It's like a blotted lipstick look. Or a I-forgot-to-reapply-my lipstick-look š
"Worn-In" lipstick is perfect for everyday looks because it isn't too over the top and can be created in about two minutes. With minimal effort you can have trending fall lips!
Traditional lipstick is your best bet to create this trend.
Liquid lipstick would be sticky and a bit of a mess.
The only product I used for my "Worn-In" Lipstick is Colourpop's Lippie Stix in Trust Me.
Lipstick Look #2 Blinged Out/Bejeweled Lipstick
1. Coat Lips
with Red Lipstick: Cover lips with red lipstick.
We want the lips more saturated in color than our first look.
I used the same lip crayon
as I did for my “Worn-In” lipstick, a liquid lipstick would work fine as well.
2. Apply Red Gems to Lips: Take several self-adhesive, rounded red rhinestone face gems (I got mine from Amazon) and stick them onto your bottom lip using tweezers and light pressure.
I tried just pressing them on with my fingers, but it messed up my lipstick a bit.
I placed about 11 gems of varying smaller and larger sizes along my lower lip.
And the final result was...
Blinged Out/Bejeweled Lipstick!
You can totally add more gems for a fuller jeweled look.
Or just use one in the center of your top or bottom lip for extra drama.
I was very aware that these gems were on my lips and mildly concerned about swallowing one š
Definitely not an everyday, running to the store look. You can't really eat or drink with them on.
But, how gorgeous for a party or upscale event where drama and fashion are job one.
I wouldn't recommend reusing the gems, one because of sanitary concerns, two I don't think they would stick as well.
This bejeweled lipstick is fun to create, but it does take a little extra time to apply all the gems.
The two products I used for my Blinged Out/Bejeweled lips:
Colourpop: Lippie Stix in Trust Me
Teenitor: Face Gems Self Adhesive Face Rhinestones
Lipstick Look #3 Ombre Lipstick
1. Red Liquid Lipstick: Start by coating lips with a red liquid lipstick.
Note: I loved NYX Liquid Suede lipsticks, but in a true lipstick travesty they have been discontinued (Come on, NYX!). Their "replacement" is alright but in my opinion inferior.
But an equally affordable dupe for their now discontinued red shade Kitten Heels is Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip in Clock Out.
2. Dark Purple Liquid Lipstick Line: Using a deep purple liquid lipstick trace along your lip line.
Drag some of the purple lipstick towards the center of your lips with your finger to start blending into the red. Don't worry if you get too much purple in the center, you can always add more red.
Dupe: For NYX Liquid Suede in Subversive Socialite, try Sephora Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick in 52 Dark Purple.
3. Concealer Clean Up: On a small brush take a concealer that matches your skin tone and clean up any excessive lip color that has escaped you lip line.
I also used a powder foundation on a triangle sponge to set the concealer.
Put it all together and you get...
A Bold Ombre Lipstick look!
I couldn't stop laughing at myself throughout putting this look together.
First it looked like I painted on a mustache, then like I was some sad clown.
This picture is my attempt at not laughing š
Tip: Control your laughter until the lipstick dries or it will end up drying with a slight smudge in the upper corner like mine š
Very bold, dramatic lips. Perfect for a party or night out
It does take a bit more time to create this lipstick look than the other two so allow yourself the time and don't rush (or laugh!)
But either way, show your lips some love at the end of the day with some lip scrub and follow up with a good moisturizing balm.
Products I used for my Bold Ombre Lipstick look:
NYX: Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick
in Kitten Heels
NYX: Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Subversive Socialite
Maybelline: Fit Me Concealer in Ivory
MAC: Studio Fix Powder in NW10
