The classic red lipstick is currently experiencing a crisis. In the summer, it is traditionally “displaced” by the cheerful orange and pink colors, while in the fall it also has to “step aside” as darker shades of the burgundy palette take the stage instead. Other ladies are just waiting for the autumn-winter season to take out the matte burgundy lipstick lying at the bottom of their cosmetic bags and diversify their look at least from time to time.

When choosing your burgundy shades of lipstick, the main thing to remember is that its color should be darker than the “standard” red. How darker? – Up to you to decide. It all depends on your style preferences and courage. If experimenting with makeup is not your thing, you can opt for a shade from the juicy cherry range like the Matte Revolution Hydrating Lipstick by Charlotte Tilbury (Color: Walk of No Shame - berry rose), or the Matte Crush Lipstick Pencil by Vasanti Cosmetics (Color: Red Over Heels).

If you prefer some more extravagant looks, try an expressive cherry shade like the Velvet Cherry - Deep Rich Red Lip Color Matte Lipstick by TOM FORD. I promise it will look “noble” and “expensive” on your lips! The bravest girls, who easily transform from angelic creatures into vamp-style women, can even opt for a shade close to the 111 Forever Night - A Deep Berry Black available in the Rouge Dior Forever Transfer-Proof Lipstick collection.

Seems like the makeup artists working at fashion shows decided not to limit us in choosing the texture of burgundy lipstick for autumn makeup. But I can’t help but notice how expressive it looks! It will help you easily achieve a “femme fatale” look without adding any other accents to your makeup.

Note:

  • A beautiful and seductive wet wine gloss on the lips will come in handy in makeup looks for special occasions, while darker lipsticks with a classic matte satin texture are more suitable for everyday looks.
  • Burgundy lipstick is suitable for both blondes and brunettes.

How to Apply Matte Burgundy Lipstick

How to Apply Matte Burgundy Lipstick

Until recently, one of the most important rules for applying any dark lipstick was to first highlight the contour. First, it makes it easier to “fill in” your lips with color. Secondly, the outlined contour gives your lip makeup a complete look. Thirdly, thanks to the lip pencil, the lipstick applied after looks neater. But in this autumn-winter season, some deviation from the rule is permissible.

Styling Tips: You can put down your lip pencil. When matte burgundy lipstick is already on your lips, use your fingertips to “pat” along the contour of your lips to make it look a little fuzzy and blurry. This slight carelessness will give your lips the same look as after a kiss, which is considered one of the cutest beauty trends and looks very sexy. However, it is best to use this effect if your lipstick is not too dark.

Are you going to the office or a business meeting with burgundy lipstick on your lips? To allow yourself such an accent in a day or business look, like this one, made by Avia Solomon, choose a product with a creamy texture, like the Long-wearing Matte Lipstick + Lip Liner by NUDESTIX (Burgundy shade). Also, avoid bright eye makeup. Some thin black arrows are ok, but it is better to do without them and simply apply a bit of mascara to your eyelashes.

If you are new to this lip game and slightly afraid to jump that deep, there are options for you, too. Brighter burgundy colors will be perfect for you to start with this trend.

Pay attention to the eyebrows. Erika Papa combs them carefully, fills them in with color for a fuller effect and fixes with gel. Expressive eyebrows will “balance” the dark matte shade on the lips and will also eliminate the feeling that your eyes are left without makeup.

Matte burgundy lipstick has a peculiarity - if you overdo it even a little, the makeup will look provocative. If your hair is not too dark, adding more than one accent to your makeup is not a good idea. Even in an evening look, burgundy lipstick alone, or with a touch of light glitter on the eyes, will be enough.
