There are summer people and there are fall people—and if you’re the latter, you’re in luck. Jacket-and-boots weather is coming, and with it, the glorious lipsticks of the crisper season. Of course, if you’re serious about makeup—and by that we mean obsessed—Labor Day weekend is little more than an opportunity to stock up on an entirely new wardrobe of shades. Think rich mattes, indelible lacquers, lush colors with a hint of shine, even anti-agers that promise to (maybe) put an end to your fear of selfies for good. In the interest of helping you get started, we’ve put together our edit of the most compulsively wearable, obsessively want-able new shades of the moment. Here’s to ten more good reasons for loving sweater-weather season.
