When it comes to lipstick, we're convinced that berry is one of those shades that works for just about everyone. It comes in a variety of undertones, is easily buildable, and can be worn for any occasion. So when we got our hands on the new shades of Urban Decay's Vice Lipstick, we figured who better to review them than our very own beauty-obsessed editors? From punchy pinks to '90s mauve, we matched an editor to a Fall-appropriate hue. Find out which color each editor ended up loving and discover your own shade for the season ahead.

Shade: Nighthawk

Initial thoughts: "Dark berry shades are my go-tos! I have really blond hair and fair skin, so I love the way that dark shades make my features pop."

Outcome: "Nighthawk has a bit more brown in it than I thought I could pull off, but I actually really loved the way it looked."

Shade: Jilted

Initial thoughts: "I usually shy away from pink shades since I feel like they're too girlie for my edgier style. And since they tend to veer on the warmer side, I like sticking to cooler shades that complement my skin tone."

Outcome: "I love that Jilted is a more blue-based pink, so it had the right undertone to flatter me. While I wouldn't reach for this shade every day, it was such a fun change of pace to rock something out of my comfort zone! I loved the creamy texture and the fact that it didn't feel drying on my lips."

Shade: Ravenswood

Initial thoughts: "I've worn the almost-black shade from Urban Decay before and really liked it, so I was excited to try this one out."

Outcome: "I feel like my true self wearing this shade. This year I got really into mauve tones and it's not always easy to find one, but Ravenswood is really strong."

Shade: Rock Steady

Initial thoughts: "I love playing around with all kinds of lipsticks, but I'd yet to find the perfect fit for my skin tone and experimental personal style."

Outcome: "I loved this berry color because it made me feel like a movie star. The undertones in the lipstick made my teeth look white, and it had really excellent staying power. Usually I stick to matte formulas, but this sheen was a nice change that I might want to wear out on the town when I'm feeling fun. This one is definitely a winner!"
