Makeup Trends Fall 2009: Berry Lipstick

Summer is slowly coming to a close and I'm looking forward to being able to sport some darker, moodier, smokier looks again for the fall season. Not that you can't wear that type of makeup whenever you want, but...you know!

Some of the upcoming fall makeup collections, such as the Nars Lolita and the Dior Jazz Club collections, inspired this look. While I'm not using any of the products from those brands for this tutorial, I used what I had and still managed to come up with a nice fall look. One of the big trends for fall 2009 are cosmetics in rich berry-toned shades, anything from juicy raspberry to burgundy blackberry shades. Lots of nail polishes, lipsticks, lip glosses and lip glazes will be making an appearance from this color family, so I decided to focus this look on deep berry toned lips. Berry colored lips are flattering on pretty much any skintone as they aren't as garish and jarring as bright red lips can be on some people. Try it out!
