Fall’s Hottest Makeup Trends: Vampy Lips

To the girls in leather jackets and fur boots at New York Fashion Week – WHAT are you doing?  It is still 90 degrees in New York City and you literally must be dying – even though it is September if you dress for Summer I promise you will be much more comfortable.  Please and thank you.  But I do understand with the return of Pumpkin Spice Lattes and fall boots in store I know some people are itching for fall and one of the ways you can get on board now, regardless of the weather, is with fall makeup.

Of the top trending items for Fall 2016 beauty I have three favorites now – vampy lips, bold black falsies, and deep jewel tone shadows. Today, let’s talk about the first, vampy lips.

I love Summer but the picture above actually makes me excited for darker colors and for this season I love the Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Train Bleu that James Kaliardos used for Rodarte’s show as reported by Glamour, seen above. In the same color family I also love Laura Mercier Lip Glacé in Black Cherry,  Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss in Venmon or Bite Beauty Matte Crème Lip Crayon in Truffle. Take a look at four great shades to achieve vampy lips: 

1 | NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Train Bleu – Deep Aubergine

2 |  Marc Jacobs Beauty Enamored Hi-Shine Gloss Lip Lacquer Lipgloss in 306 Boom

3 |  Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss in Bordeaux – Brownish Plum 

4| Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in  Prayer – Matte Deep Merlot  

Four gorgeous shades that will likely be making their way on to my vanity in the coming months. And I’ve never tried it but I have actually heard good things about the Christina Lobutin makeup and the packaging of this Christian Louboutin Velvet Matte Lip Colour in Eton Moi – 330M is absolutely is stunning though the $90 price tag has me questioning if that really is just too much for makeup!

And the icing on the cake? It is currently Sephora’s Beauty Insider Appreciation Event where VIB Rouges will receive 4x points; VIBs will receive 3x points; and Beauty Insiders will receive 2x points on all purchases made between now and September 17th, 2016. And while once upon a time I had Rogue status if you are still in the elite club VIB Rouges can get an 8-piece sample bag with code MYSURPRISE on $35+ purchases, while supplies last.

Happy shopping!
