The case can be made that there’s no beauty staple that’s endured through shifting styles and seasons as valiantly as lipstick. Much like choosing a perfume, selecting a shade of rouge is a choice that reflects the essence of the person who wears it. From bold reds to deep mauves, and classic neutrals to soft pinks, a strong pout serves as the ultimate finishing touch. This fall, we’ve put a spotlight on sultry shades to compliment every skin tone, from day to night – experiment with bold shades that dress up even the most simple little black dress.
