Autumn Bold 'n' Berry Lips...


It's not Autumn without a bold, dark (usually berry-toned) lip - right? I've done this type of post many times - what feels like at least once every Autumn - but as always, my collection and favourites are always changing, so it only feels right to give you all my round-up of go-to's for Autumn 2019. FYI - they are all some form of matte liquid lipstick as typically, when it comes to bright, bold or deep lip colours, that's the format I like to go for most!

SLEEK MATTE ME LIP CREAM IN 'STFU' - First up - one from Sleek! I love the Matte Me's and this shade is just perfect for Autumn. A bright, but also rich, pinky-red - great you want your classic red, but with a slightly more Autumnal twist. It layers on perfectly opaque in just one layer and as always with these lip creams, dries down to a super powdery-matte finish that lasts pretty impeccably throughout the day. Asides from some minimal wear 'n' tear at the very centre of the lips after eating anything substantial, it stays in place - which is completely essential with a bold lip...

MAYBELLINE SUPER STAY MATTE INK IN 'PIONEER' - These Matte Ink's from Maybelline are one of my favourite liquid lip ranges in the drugstore - especially for their brights and bolds like this gorgeous, deep red. It's the perfect depth that rich enough to make an impact, but without ending up too much and simply looking blackened on the lips (if you get what I mean) and the formula of these is just awesome. As I've said many times before, these are by far the most hardy, long-lasting formulation of matte lipstick lip I've ever tried. Considering they don't even dry down to that fully-matte finish (they definitely set down, but retain a slightly patent-like shine) - they do. not. budge. They barley need any retouching throughout the day, never move or transfer and need some serious elbow grease to get them off the lips when you actually do want them to come off. Highly recommend this shade and range in general!

SLEEK MATTE ME LIP CREAM IN 'THAT'S SO FETCH' - Another Sleek Matte Me - this time, in this super-pretty, bright, magenta pinky-purple! The first in this line-up that's more 'berry' in the sense of it being more purple-toned, this one's still got that brightness to it, making it different to the deeper purples that I'm soon to give a shout-out to! Like I said, it's also got this warm pink undertone - which again, contrasts to some other berry purple lips that can be a little more blue based and cool-toned. The formula is just the same as all the other Matte Me's (and especially 'STFU' which I mentioned earlier) - what's not to love?

WET 'N' WILD LIQUID CATSUIT LIQUID LIPSTICK IN 'BERRY RECOGNIZE' - Finally - we have two of the Wet 'n' Wild Liquid Catsuits - another go-to liquid lip formula of mine, ever since finally getting the chance to try them out last year! I especially love the brights and bold shades in their range and this is one of my favourites A gorgeous, berry purple that's more blue-based and cool-toned than the Sleek one mentioned above, perhaps making this lightly more of your 'classic' take on this colour on the lips. I love the formula and finish of these, they dry down to that powdery-matte finish and really do not move much at all throughout the day/night. A couple of minimal touch-up's in the very centre of the lips where things do tend to wear down eventually and you're good to go! Super opaque in one coat too, which is great to see from such an intense colour...

WET 'N' WILD LIQUID CATSUIT LIQUID LIPSTICK IN 'BEHIND THE BLEACHERS' - The second inclusion from Wet 'n' Wild, this time we've got this deep, rich brown-red. It's a super interesting colour that I really do not have anything else like in my collection - it's kind of purple-toned, but also slightly red and with this rich, intense, brown-ey finish. The perfect mix of all three tones I guess! The formula's just the same as before - super matte, intense pigment and super long-lasting - and as I said, I just love how unique this colour is, but also how perfectly it works fro this time of year. Something bold, but also very rich and intense and with those berry undertones we all associate with Autumn...
