The 10 Lip Colors ELLE Editors Are Wearing This Fall

"I love reds and dark colors in the fall and it’s the PERFECT red and everyone at work gives me compliments when I wear it." — Madison Feller, ELLE.com Associate Editor 

"I’m not as concerned with moody, fall shades as I am with addressing my autumnally dry lips. Leaving summer, I switch toward to hybrid products that have funky balms in the center, like a Chapstick was squeezed in the middle of a lipstick with a pastry bag. Citing the illustrious Hannah Montana, you get the best of both worlds. My new favorite is YSL’s Volupté tint in this rosy color, which is gives me a “your lips, but better” tint with a boost of extra moisture."— Justine Carreon, ELLE.com Market Editor 

"Long live the creamy matte. The smooth texture glides nicely onto my lips and leaves a bold burgundy color that pairs perfectly with any of my fall looks. I feel like a vampire, my dream job, in this moody lip." — Chloe Hall, ELLE.com Writer and Producer 

"Urban Decay's Vice Lipstick in 1993 is my favorite lip color of all-time. I was born in 1993 (minus a few years) so I feel like I'm living the best '90s baby version of myself in this medium brown shade."— Chloe Hall, ELLE.com Writer and Producer 

"Every time temperatures cool and leaves start to fall, I start reaching for moody, vampy colors like this one from Laura Mercier. This highly pigmented lipstick is a true matte but doesn’t dry out your lips, going on creamy and keeping lips smooth all day. Fatale is a gorgeous deep berry that makes anyone wearing it look a little dangerous, and I like that."― Kristina Rodulfo, ELLE.com Senior Beauty Editor 

"It's the season of the witch! So it follows that I'm opting for a dark, purpley red lipstick. I saw a beauty editor wearing this product on Instagram and immediately wanted to know what it was. Matte as velvet, with a thin bullet that makes it easy to control how much pigment you're using, this is a lipstick that you can apply in barely-there dabs or full color onslaught. My lips but spookier." — Estelle Tang, Senior Culture Editor 

"I completely fell for this Givenchy lipstick when I saw it in an editorial piece and it IS really that amazing. The felt tip plus the balm'y ring makes it feel less like lipstick, more like a regular balm, which makes it very approachable when you don't consider yourself a lipstick person. I've picked an orange'y red for spring and summer, but have surprised myself by considering splurging for a second, slightly more brick red." — Leah Melby Clinton, ELLE.com Director of Branded Partnerships

"I don’t feel skilled enough at makeup for real lipstick, so when I read about a culty product called Almost Lipstick, I bought it immediately. (Jk, I waited until it was a free sample at Sephora.) I’ve now replaced my pink and red-orange tinted lip balms with Black Honey, which is really more of a berry and gives off a very back to school circa 1999 vibe."— Kat Stoeffel, ELLE.com Features Director 

"You can never own too many nude lipsticks, and anyone who tells you otherwise should get the boot —you don't need that type of negativity in your life. I like to keep Lancome's L'Absolu Rouge x Camila Coelho lipstick in Parisian Nude in my handbag because it's one of the few nude lipsticks in my collection that doesn't make me look like I have concealer on my lips. This warm, mauve-nude shade glides on like balm, is subtle enough to wear to work every day and looks amazing with a swipe of my favorite nude lip gloss (Sephora Collection's Ultra Shine Lip Gel in Perfect Nude, in case you were wondering.)" — Nerisha Penrose, ELLE.com Assistant Editor

“Don’t @ me but I think autumn is all about the eyes! I love wearing bold, metallic fouls on my kids, so I balance things out with this perfect pinky nude.” — Holly Rhue, ELLE.com Editorial Fellow
