Nothing says winter than a good red, right? Right.
Throwback to spring, and I put together a post with my three favourite spring reds so I thought I'd put together something similar for the autumn/winter season. I'm one of those people who'll wear a red no matter what time of the year it is, so it's nice to have a few options for what to wear.
MAC Ruby Woo.
This is my favourite all around red. It's a beautiful true matte finish, and largely neutral in tone. The colour isn't exactly deep, but it isn't as bright as the more summery red shades which is what makes it suitable for either season. Out of all the reds I have, this is probably the one I wear the most, and it'll more than likely be the one that I repurchase. It's £15.50 here.
Revlon Matte Balm in Stand Out.
A similarly neutral toned red to Ruby Woo, but with a slightly darker colour, slightly less matte finish and an infinitely more comfortable formula. The matte balms are overall my favourite lip product, and I'd recommend Stand Out to absolutely anyone looking for a good red; their colour selection is pretty good, and the other red from the range, Striking, was one of my favourite spring reds. Stand Out is £7.99 here.
Rimmel Kate Moss 107.
Everyone's favourite A/W shade in a nutshell right here. I'm not overly fond of the packaging or the scent of these, but their formula is beautiful; being matte without being drying or looking like you're rocking some serious prune lip. The colour is also more berry toned than any of my other red favourites, and it was my hands down favourite from last year and one that I can see myself getting a lot of use out of for years to come. These are £5.49 here.
Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in Grand Cru.
These lipsticks are something you absolutely have to try if you haven't already - again there's another red in the range that was one of my S/S favourite reds, and they have quite the beautiful colour range. These are definitely true matte lipsticks, coming in a thin liquid formula that can be built up for more opaque coverage on the lips. The colour is the deepest of the four, being more of a Bordeaux shade than a true red, and perfect for winter in particular. These are £8.99 here.
So, those are my favourite reds and berries for autumn and winter, what are some of your favourite lip colours for the season?
