Amazing Lip Colors For Fall That Aren't Dark Red

by Summer Arlexis

Once sweater weather is in full effect and pumpkin spiced everything is all the rage, vampy lips are everywhere. As popular as dark red hues are this time of year, they don't have to be the only lippies you rock. The best lip colors for fall can come in every shade of the rainbow as long as you're willing to give a bold lipstick a whirl.

Makeup has gotten more daring than ever: Metallic lipsticks, glitter eyeliner, and graphic wings have taken over the beauty sphere. There's definitely nothing wrong with a traditional approach to your makeup, but giving yourself a makeover with an unusual lip color can spice up your look in all the right ways. Sure, a radioactive neon or pale pastel may look intimidating inside of the tube — but one sweep onto your lips and you just may fall in love with an unexpected shade.

Having fun with your beauty routine is all about self-expression and experimentation, after all. And there are no set rules that say one range of lipstick shades are allowed per season. Step outside of your comfort zone this fall and give these 13 loud and proud lip colors a chance to grace your pucker.
