9 Fall Lipstick Shades Our Editors Are Loving This Fall, From Dusty Roses to Deep Browns

"My favourite fall lip colour is the Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in Drive In ($19), a poppy orange-red with a comfortable cream finish. Not only is this lipstick ultra-saturated and moisturising, it lasts all day. Seriously, I've worn it while eating ice cream sundaes, drinking wine, eating fried chicken. . . you know, all the finer things in life. No matter what I do, it stays put — and even as it fades, it leaves behind a flattering stain that looks completely intentional." — Ariel Wodarcyk, associate editor, Makeup.com

"OK, OK — technically the Lawless Forget the Filler Definer Lip Liner in Honey Rose ($21) isn't a lipstick, but that doesn't mean I don't apply it as if it is one every time I need a break from the natural lip look I lean toward in summer. That makes it the perfect stand-in for fall: the burnt pink colour is bold but neutral, and gives you that nostalgic '90s vibe everyone seems to look for when the weather cools off. Top it off with a swipe of clear gloss, et voilà." — Kelsey Castañon, beauty director

"Of all the reds I've tried — and there have been a lot — the Lip Bar Vegan Matte Liquid Lipstick in Bawse Lady ($13) has to be the one that gets the most use. It's made with a formula that applies so smoothly and doesn't leave my lips feeling parched, and the deep-red colour really does something to me when it comes to bringing out my inner boss b*tch." — Danielle Jackson, assistant beauty editor

"I used to be obsessed with all things matte but over the last few years, my preference has differently shifted to creamy formulas, which is why I'm so happy the Deck of Scarlet Threeway Solid Lip Oil in Cocoa Spice ($28) came into my life. I know what you're thinking: it's not really a lipstick. But for all intents and purposes, it is. It applies and looks the same as the best hydrating lipstick you've ever tried and it's pigmented, but not in an over-the-top way. The berry-brown hue gives your makeup an effortless, cosy vibe that feels just as appropriate for a night in of takeout with friends as it does a fancy dinner party with family." — Jessica Harrington, beauty editor

"There's so much hype surrounding this dusty rose lipstick and I swear it's for good reason. While it might sound like a bold statement to make, the Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk ($34) is the first lipstick I ever truly loved and I find myself reaching for it every time I see leaves start to fall. The smooth, creamy formula does not skimp on pigment and somehow doesn't dry out, even when my lips start to chap in the cooler weather. The versatile shade fares well either by itself or underneath a juicy gloss and ties together my autumnal aesthetic perfectly." — Caitlyn Martyn, assistant editor, Makeup.com

"Hands down, fall is my favourite season. I try to recreate the season as much as possible by wearing lipstick that instantly transports me to days of chunky sweaters and big piles of leaves. I love NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Damned ($27) because it's weightless and matte but not super drying. One swipe and I have a major colour payoff that's perfect for any time of the year." — Deena Campbell, beauty content director, branded content

"My ride or die lip colour for fall for the past couple of years has been the Nudiversal Lip Duo in Mykonos ($25), a creamy nude brown combo from CTZN. The matte end is super pigmented and leaves behind a powdery (but non-cakey!) finish that instantly makes my makeup feel cosy and complete. To level up my lip look at night, I like to layer the gloss on top for extra sparkle and shine. It's the best $25 you'll spend this fall, I can promise you that." — Alanna Martine Kilkeary, assistant manageing editor, Makeup.com

"While I'd love to be able to rock a vampy lipstick during the fall season, it's just a bit too far outside my comfort zone. However, when the cooler months arrive, I typically swap out my lighter nude and pink lipstick shades for something a bit deeper like MAC Matte Lipstick in Velvet Teddy ($19). It's a gorgeous medium, neutral shade that flatters any makeup look and gives just the right amount of colour and definition to my lips." — Alyssa Kaplan, assistant editor, Makeup.com

"I only needed one swipe of the matte lipstick side of the CTZN Cosmetics Nudiversal Lip Duo in New York City ($25) for an opaque, bold colour. The lipstick is velvety soft, moisturising, and lightweight. Even though it has a matte finish, it did not feel drying at all. I noticed that the lipstick moved with my lips rather than giving that cracked look you traditionally get from matte liquid lipsticks." — Anvita Reddy, editorial coordinator, shop
