These 5 Unexpected Lip Colors Are Dominating Fall Trends

Terracotta

If you’re afraid of an orange-toned lipstick, you’re not alone. Despite being the unspoken color of fall, it’s not exactly the ideal lip shade. But terracotta, a blend of warm brick and clay pot hues, is. “The power of this shade lies in its ability to be versatile. Depending on the undertones, terracotta can be cozy or brazen and bold,” says celebrity makeup artist Vittorio Masecchia. Earthy colors are the essence of fall, and as Jafri explains, are also very wearable for daily and special occasions.
