From the runway to the red carpet and beyond, dramatic bordeaux lips have been helping fashionistas make a serious statement and set one of the leading beauty trends for fall! Dark enough to give off the vampy vibe without verging on costume-y, this sexy deep wine shade manages to be edgy and on-trend while still staying sophisticated. If you've already experimented with bold lipsticks this past summer, a red-based bordeaux like Givenchy Rouge Interdit Satin Lipstick in 18 Elegant Rouge or Clé de Peau Beauté Extra Rich Lipstick in R10 will help you ease you into this darker shade for fall. If a plum-based color is more your style, try Laura Geller's Creme Couture Lipstick in Bordeaux. Intrigued by this standout shade but too afraid to commit? Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Bordeaux, found in your friendly neighborhood drugstore aisle, will only set you a few bucks back if you decide the color's not for you. Already know this hue was made for you? Go a step further with a coordinating nail shade, courtesy of Le Metier de Beaute's Lip & Nail Duo in "I'm Worn This Way" to go all-out bordeaux!
