“Don’t leave home without lipstick,” said every grandmother (with good intentions, of course). What she meant was you may not get out the door with a full face of makeup, but you can always swipe on a layer of lip color – especially as the weather changes. When the skies are cold and cloudy, a splash of bold can brighten your day. Besides, fall lipstick colors make some of the biggest statements. And these special picks do all that without the use of chemicals, synthetics or animal testing. It sounds like it’s your turn to school grandma.
1. Mineral Fusion Lipstick Butter Vine: One swipe is all you need with this truly buttery lip color. It’s a little on the darker side with a light plum color – perfect for fall!
2. Burt’s Bees Lip Crayon – Sedona Sands: This mid-tone lip crayon is moisturizing and can be layered without any chance of feathering or crackling. The pretty, “toasted” tint goes with everything.
3. Mineral Fusion Lipstick – Nude: Compared to the Mineral Fusion Lipstick Butter, this is a true lipstick formula. You’ll notice the consistency is more lightweight, though, while the color has nice warm undertones.
4. Burt’s Bees Lipstick – Lily Lake: You can build on this one to get as deep a color as you like. The finish is a smooth, satin feel, so it won’t dry you out. Try it in the spring time, as well!
5. 100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Pomegranate Oil – Calypso: Made with fruit extracts and oils, this lipstick offers the richest color. It’s so pigmented, your lips will be stained at the end of the day.
Bonus: At the end of the day, remove what’s left of your lip color – or full face of makeup – with a vegan cleansing tonic that magically works with just one swipe.
