A Definitive Guide to the Best Fall Lipsticks, as Told by Sephora's Online Community

With Fenty Beauty's one-year birthday approaching in early September, it only seems fitting that we kick off this roundup with the year's most buzzed-about beauty brand. Beyond its monumental 40-shade foundation formula, Fenty has plenty of other noteworthy offerings, including the Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipsticks ($18). This particular pumpkin-like shade is described as a "spiced terracotta," and if that doesn't scream Fall, we don't know what does.

A nude? For Fall?! That might actually be groundbreaking. While most may assume Fall lip shades have to be ultradark and moody, neutral lipsticks are year-round crowd-pleasers. With hints of brown and dusty rose, Urban Decay's Vice Lipstick in 1993 ($18) is an ever-so-slightly deeper take on a classic nude. We spotted it in the community's 100 Days of Lipstick thread.

Similar to the mulled wine you'll be warming up with after a day of autumnal activities, this deep burgundy option from Tarte ($20) is worth getting excited about. The gorgeous bold tone is ideal for anyone who likes to get creative with their lip color and will look especially dreamy on deeper skin tones.

Similar to the earthy hues you'll find at your local pumpkin patch, consider swiping on a rich beet shade. Community members constantly rave about Bite Beauty's Amuse Bouche Lipsticks ($26), and this deep magenta is as bright and pigment-packed as the vegetable.

Universally flattering and touted for making teeth look instantly whiter, a blue-toned red is always a good idea. That doesn't change when the weather starts to cool off! This true blue-red liquid lipstick from Sephora Collection ($14) goes on creamy and completely opaque — just like a good red should.

Goth meets impeccably glam in Kat Von D's entire beauty line, so it's no surprise that her staple Everlasting Liquid Lipstick ($20) is available in the shade Vampira. This extradeep burgundy was an undeniable favorite among members in the community's Fall Lip Challenge thread.

If a little luxe is what you're after, Tom Ford's Boys & Girls Lipsticks ($36) are for you. With chic packaging and a range of high shine, metallic, satin, and matte finishes, swiping on one of these feels like a total treat. This Fall, we're loving the shade Evan, a rich, medium-toned brick.

Yup, that's another nude! Although it looks fairly light in the tube, when swiped on, this Smashbox Liquid Lipstick in Stepping Out ($24) morphs into a deep almost-'90s brown color. As the community members' photos prove, it's a perfect way to ease into brown shades if you've been wary in the past.

Love wearing pinks? Try changing this up with a more neutral rose shade when the temperature begins to drop. With similar undertones, you won't feel too far out of your comfort zone while experimenting with something a bit more earthy. Luckily, Pat McGrath's outrageously popular matte lipsticks ($28) come in the perfect rose color for Fall.

If you haven't tried one of Nars' Powermatte Lip Pigments ($26) yet, what are you waiting for?! Matte (but not too matte) and incredibly comfortable, they stay put all day and glide on smoothly. Like the community member who raved about her Nars purchases in the Astounding August 2018 Hauls thread, you'll want to use it every day. We suggest starting off with a brown rose color that's deep enough to look Fall-appropriate while also being totally wearable.
