Now that fall has arrived and everyone is packing away their sandals and pulling out the boots, it’s time for a little update in our makeup routine. Out with the brights and in with the bold as I like to always say.

Dark navy’s and forest greens and rich plums are going to popping up everywhere. But this year, there’s going to be more brown. Not only will your eyes be shaded with rich chocolate brown hues, but so will your lips. Brown lipsticks have pushed reds out of the spotlight and they’re here just in time for fall.

Now I know what you’re thinking, Browns are for filling in brows, for defining your crease or for smokey eyes - well the times they are a changin’ and makeup isn’t just categorized for certain spots on the face. Whoever decided to put brown lipstick on one day, thank goodness for them because it started a trend that is a new fresh look that is flattering on literally any skin tone. From light sand shades to rich chocolate brown shades, brown lipstick will be your new go to fall color.

Why it works: Neutrals never fail. Everyone can wear a neutral, plus they go with any outfit. Because brown isn’t a bright/vivid color, it fits in the neutral category. Also, there are so many hues. You can go for a lighter more simple brown lip or you can go all out and put on a dark brown.

I know it might feel weird because it could be something new but don’t be afraid to try it! Makeup is one of the easiest new things to try because if you don’t like it then it will take you two seconds to wipe it off. You never know - you could have a new favorite lipstick!
