Vintage femininity is back for the fall 2012 fashion scene, which means that beauty trends will follow. Harkening back to the days of femme fatales, one of the biggest looks you'll spot on the season's sidewalks is the dramatic red lip. Make a real statement this fall with the right color red to capture the look for yourself. Dramatic red lips are the perfect feminine detail to complement your fall fashions all season long, so follow this shopping guide to find your perfect shade.
The Right Red Lipstick
While lip gloss might be your preferred lip coloring product most of the time, this season's look is best captured by lipstick. Stow those glosses for the spring and embrace something a little different to update your beauty style for the fall 2012 and winter 2013 seasons.
With that in mind, remember that it's not just any lipstick that will take your lips from plain to dramatic this fall. Rather, trade in that fire engine red or pink-hued shade for something bolder, darker, and sultrier. One look at the fall 2012's fashion runways reveals that the color red you'll want this season nearly borders on "goth." Opt for deeper hues with a black or violet undertone for the right look.
Hot Red Lipsticks to Shop
Dark, sexy, and bold. The lipstick trend for fall 2012 are easy to get for yourself with so many beautiful, statement-making color choices available from some of your favorite brands. When you're shopping for the best dramatic red for you, keep these trendy options in mind:
- Estee Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick in Autumn (#157). This long-lasting formula has a high shine that will catch even more attention. What's more, it's a great shade for most skin tones so you can wear it without worrying it's not for you.
- Lipstick Queen Oxymoron Matte Lip Gloss in Minor Crisis. I love this matte shade which is deep, moody, and sexy. Technically, it's a lip gloss that wears like a lipstick, so if you can't part with gloss you can try this one for yourself.
- NARS Sheer Lipstick in Flamenco . Although this one wears as a sheer, the fall-inspired candy apple red color is spot-on with the trend. To deepen the color, fill in your lips with a matching lip pencil and smooth the lipstick over it.
- Stila Long Wear Lip Color in Rendezvous.This unique lip color is easy to use and the perfect color for the fall. Smooth it on and head outside to start turning heads this fall!
While these are only a few of the shades you'll discover for your favorite cosmetics brands this season, they'll at least point you in the right direction. Get these exact shades for yourself or track down one of your own. Either way, a dramatic red lip is the perfect way to capture femininity and vintage style during the fall 2012 season.
