From matte to two-toned to ombré, the Beauty Panel embraces fall’s textured lipstick trend

This season lips are getting a high dose of drama. Those simple few swoops of classic brights in the summertime have transitioned into multifaceted, textured looks for fall. From layering sharp colours with other shades to playing with matte and stain finishes, the Fall 2013 runways introduced many new ways to embrace—and apply—lipstick.

We saw textured lips make a big statement on the runway at Lanvin, with a matte berry-toned lip being the perfect pop to an almost bare face. Over at Kenneth Cole, makeup artists layered lipsticks for an on-trend ombré effect. And don’t forget your favourite dark shades: Dolce and Gabbana had models pouting a deep burgundy shade while Holly Fulton took the classic red to another level by lining it with a maroon liner.

Challenge 32: Texture is in for lips this fall with everything from stained smears to two-tone looks trending. How are you reinventing the way you wear lipstick this season? See the answers now! »

Our Beauty Panel, which welcomes three new members this week, took to the challenge of tweaking their lipstick routine to embrace this texture trend. Newcomer Amy Mckissock of The Pretty Vain channeled Kenneth Cole’s ombré runway look by using a bright red lipstick and fading in a blackened-cherry shade at the corners. Going for the stained lip, Kelly Freeman of Glitter Diaries shows how simple it is to create that intentionally smeared look—without looking messy. Also loving the ombré trend is Marilou Moles of Twenty York Street, who used two shades of pink to create her too-cool-for-school look.
