Berry lipstick – a season hit Fall-winter 2015/2016

Shades of overripe berries, red wine and dense jam are the most classical colors of lipstick for Fall and Winter.

Remember Fall-2015 podiums. Displays of Carolina Herrera, Dolce&Gabbana, Marc Jacobs, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Marchesa presented the most expressive wine and berry options of lipstick.





And one of the last issues of Jennifer Lawrence convinced: dark berry lipstick goes also to platinum blondes. Estimate its image at the New York premiere of the second part of "Hungry games" which was held this week (on November 18, 2015).

What shade to choose

The most important question – in the choice of "the" shade of lipstick. There are makeup artists who consider that to be guided by tone of skin – a difficult task for beginners. And they suggest to trust in the heart. For example, the official makeup artist of the British office of Clinique Florey Whyte holds the similar opinion. "Follow the intuition" - she advises, - "The most certain way to find the berry shade is to try it. It is good if in shop there is a tester and you will be able to resemble with this color all day, to look at reaction of friends or darling, and only after that to make purchase".

Is as well the traditional rule which works during the choosing of any shade of lipstick, whether it be nude, red or pink. Lipstick has to correspond to a skin shade. If tone of skin – warm, then and lipstick has to have warm subtone. And for coldish skin shades with bluish tone are chosen.

This rule works. Here only a question – how to decide on all this in practice. Coming into shop, it is difficult to us to abstract from the mass of shades, sometimes all of them seem warm, or all – cold. Other complexity: in principle, all berry shades to some extent colder, than warm. For example, in comparison with orange or beige colors.

Then include the associations. Answer yourself a question: what berry or a fruit is reminded by this color? Perhaps, you will see bright color of pulp or juice of some ripe berry, but the hint will give a general idea about berry as it looks together with a peel. Shades of raspberry, cherry, cognac – are suitable for warm skin more. And such colors as plum, blackberry, red wine – for cold skin.


Have also in a look that in the winter the shade of skin becomes colder and pale, suntan vanishes, and the gray sky and white snow is reflected in a face. Therefore, most likely, colors of raspberry and plum will not become too unusual what they for you seemed in the summer. And you will manage to achieve harmony.

How to apply berry lipstick

Whether it is possible to achieve resistant and bright result with berry shades? Of course!

For a start it is necessary to outline a shape of lips a pencil.


Then – to fill with the same pencil all surface of lips. This layer will work as the basis increasing firmness of lipstick.


Further – lipstick. It is the best of all to use a pliable cream formula which will easily slide on skin, without shifting a basic layer of a pencil.

Other make-up

If to analyse images with berry lipstick which were on podiums or on a red carpet then it is possible to see that in this season those which do by central "spot" of a lip enjoy the greatest popularity. For a make-up of eyes it is enough to put two layers of black ink or to create very soft and natural "smok".




But blush becomes an indispensable condition, the easy berry flush has to create necessary balance between lips and cheeks.
