Best Shade Me In Shades for Autumn/Winter

As the seasons change, so should your lip colour. Autumn and winter call for deeper, richer, moodier shades — and the Brittany Cosmetics Shade Me In matte liquid lipstick collection has everything you need to transition your lip look beautifully. Here are the best Shade Me In shades for the colder months, plus tips on how to wear them.

Why Matte Lipstick Works So Well in Autumn/Winter

Matte finishes feel inherently luxurious and season-appropriate during autumn and winter. They pair beautifully with cosy knitwear, rich textures, and the warm, earthy tones that dominate the colder months. Unlike glossy finishes, matte lipstick stays put through scarves, hot drinks, and long days — making it the practical choice as well as the stylish one.

Top Shade Me In Shades for Autumn/Winter

1. In Autumn — The Season's Signature Shade

Named after the season itself, In Autumn is a warm, earthy terracotta that captures the essence of falling leaves and golden light. It's universally flattering and works beautifully with warm-toned makeup looks featuring bronzer and earthy eyeshadows.

Wear it with: A warm bronze eyeshadow and a sweep of bronzer for a cohesive autumn look.

2. Girls Night — Bold Berry Drama

Girls Night is a deep, rich berry shade that's made for the darker months. It's dramatic, confident, and absolutely stunning under winter lighting. Perfect for festive parties, date nights, and any occasion where you want to make a statement.

Wear it with: A smoky eye in plum or charcoal tones for maximum impact.

3. Valentina — Romantic Deep Rose

Valentina is a deep, romantic rose that sits beautifully between a berry and a classic red. It's sophisticated, wearable, and perfect for everything from cosy dinners to festive celebrations.

Wear it with: A soft, blended eye look in rose gold or champagne tones.

4. Feel Ironic — Cool-Toned Mauve

Feel Ironic is a cool-toned mauve that feels effortlessly chic in autumn and winter. It's the kind of shade that looks expensive and polished without trying too hard — ideal for everyday wear during the colder months.

Wear it with: A clean, minimal eye look to let the lip colour take centre stage.

5. Love Story — Classic Winter Red

No autumn/winter lip edit is complete without a classic red. Love Story is a timeless, true red that works for every skin tone and every occasion — from Christmas parties to New Year's Eve celebrations.

Wear it with: Minimal eye makeup and a flawless base to let the red lip shine.

How to Make Your Shade Me In Last All Day in Winter

• Always exfoliate and moisturise your lips before applying — cold weather can dry them out quickly.
• Use a matching lip liner to fill in your lips before applying the lipstick for extra longevity.
• Apply in thin layers and let each layer dry before adding more.
• Carry your Shade Me In shade in your bag for quick touch-ups after meals.
