The weather is starting to cool down and the seasons are changing. This means it’s time for a few things: Fireplaces, hot chocolate, cosy blankets and dark lipstick!

Make-up shades, especially the ones we wear on our lips and nails, are often lighter and brighter in spring and summer and darker and moodier in the colder months. These deep hues have also been spotted on several of the recent international runways.

If you are looking for some new colours to add to your collection, here are the ones we’re crushing on.
Estée Lauder Pure Colour Crème Lipstick in “Midnight Kiss”
This range of lipsticks was designed with all skin tones in mind, so you know that every shade is going to be flattering. It also has a creamy finish and delivers long-lasting colour and comfort. This deep brown-burgundy hue is dramatic and seductive – the perfect choice for cold-weather date nights.
Revlon ColorStay Satin Ink Lipcolor in “Partner in Wine”
Just like the popular winter tipple, this lip ink is the same colour as red wine. The formula has a seriously vibrant colour pay-off, stays put for up to 16 hours, is comfortable to wear – thanks to the addition of nourishing blackcurrant seed oil and vitamin E – and doesn’t dry out the lips.
Armani Beauty Lip Power in “Cedar”
A shade that can go from meetings in the boardroom to after-work drinks, this trendy rusty red-brown hue gives a modern twist to a classic red lip. As for the award-winning formula, it doesn’t get more luxurious, with a smooth feel and a velvet finish. That, plus all-day staying power, thanks to its highly concentrated pigments.
MAC MACximal Silky Matte Lipstick in “Caviar”
If you want your lips to make a statement without having to say a word, it doesn’t get much bolder than a black lip! Not just for goths, this dark shade has been spotted on recent red carpets and runways and can be pulled off IRL by keeping the rest of your make-up minimal.
Bobbi Brown Luxe Shine Intense Lipstick in “Night Spell”
Glossy lips have been trending for a while and aren’t going anywhere just yet. For this reason, you should add some lipsticks that deliver a lustrous, shiny finish to your collection, like this rich plum number. The formula glides on smoothly and gives your pout an instant shot of hydration.
Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint Longwear Fluid Lip Color in “Underdawg”
Don’t let the name fool you – this dark shade is both pretty and *totally* wearable! From the first line of lip colours released by this best-selling brand, it is a modern berry colour (with a comfortable, long-wearing formula) that will bring ALL the vibrancy on cold autumn and winter days.
Dior Rouge Dior Forever Lipstick in “Nude Soul”
Is it burgundy? Is it dark brown? It’s a bit of both, TBH, as well as being the darkest you can really go before you’re wearing black. The formula is highly pigmented for a solid matte finish. It also lasts on your lips for up to 16 hours without feeling dry and tight, just soft and smooth.
