Top 4 lipstick shades for Fall 2012

Your normal makeup routine must include a gorgeous shade of lipstick. According to a makeup survey, 90% of men who participated in the survey found women who wore lipstick to be prettier.

A swipe of bright pink lip color can help to take the focus away from an unflattering zit or a hint of red on your lips can instantly bring out the oomph factor. Versatility aside, lipsticks can make or break the perfect look and here’s taking a look at the top lip colors that will be in vogue this fall:

Plum

It could be tricky to choose the right shade of plum lipstick. Remember to keep your complexion and the natural color of your lips in mind while selecting any lip color, including plum. If you are medium to very fair, try a dark shade of plum, a good example is Plum Bright by MAC. This is a lovely dark plum color, but do not team it up with dramatic eyes as the look would be a bit over the top.

Romance by Covergirl is a light natural plum shade and anyone with a darker skin tone will absolutely rock this color.

Coral

Yes, I know what you are thinking. Coral is more of a summer shade, but trust me you’d be surprised with the versatility of this shade. Coral either comes with a hint of orange or a dab of pink. MAC Crosswires is almost a pure coral color with just a hint of pink and the cremesheen formula provides a good coverage and is well-pigmented.

Sweet Nectar from Bobbi Brown is a gorgeous coral that will own the look. It has a slight hint of orangish pink, but if you have light pink lips, the color comes out as more of a bright shade of coral. This also has light shimmer to it.

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate in Number 12 is your drugstore alternative. The color is more of a neon color and has a reddish tinge to it. Priced at $11, this is a great color for evening wear.

Orange

No, orange has not yet gone out of trend with temperatures dropping low. Pick a light orange shade if you do not want to add drama to your makeup, honestly I believe that people with a darker skin tone can carry off tangerine well. MAC Morange is your great everyday color that you can carry in your bag and just swipe for an after office party.

Red

The all-season color, red can never go out of fashion. For fall 2012, move over shimmery red, scarlet and rouge red are the colors to make a beeline for. MAC Ruby Woo would be a great pick for those with a fair skin tone, but if you have tanned to dark skin, just go for a couple more swipes.

If you are in favor of lip stain, try Laura Mercier lip stain in Mulberry. This is a very pigmented and dark red color, almost close to cherry red.
