Hey everyone! I'm back with another fall makeup blog post! This time I am telling you all about my favorite fall lip products from the drugstore or from affordable online makeup companies. If you didn't see my last post on here, I wrote about my favorite high end fall lip products(Click here for that post). I showed swatches of each lip product, plus provided reviews, prices, and links to said products to make purchasing said products easier for you all. I plan on doing the same thing with this post as well.
Now when I say drugstore I'm referring to places like: Walmart, target, CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Ulta...etc. These are products that you can purchase by just stopping by your local drugstore and purchase with no problem. I know that Ulta technically isn't a drugstore, however, they do carry quite a large number of drugstore branded cosmetics so I included them in here as well. Other products listed here are also affordable but can only be bought online. This includes brands like: Colourpop, MakeupGeek, Milani..etc etc. I will also provide links to these sites as well to make purchasing them easier for you all, if you decide you want to do that!
London Soft Matte Lip Cream-NYX Cosmetics- ($6.00USD)- London is a nice midtone beige color that is perfect for fall. Depending on your skin tone this is either going to be a lovely brown color on you(light-medium skin tones) or a beautiful nude color(tan-deep skin tones). I absolutely love the formula of Nyx's soft matte lip creams. They apply like a dream and are well pigmented. They last for a decent amount of time on the lips, though not as long as a liquid lipstick would, but they fade nicely and touching up the color is also easy as well.
Euro Trash Matte Lipstick-NYX Cosmetics- ($6.00USD)- To me, NYX makes one of the best matte lipsticks that you are buy from the drugstore. They apply so smooth, last a good amount of time on the lips, are very pigmented, not drying at all, and come in 33 different shades. Euro Trash is a gorgeous dark pink-brown color. It's great for those who want to try a brown lip, but don't want to go for a straight up brown lip. It is a color that looks great on any skin tone and is a great staple fall color.
Maison Matte Lipstick-NYX Cosmetics- ($6.00USD)- This color is a straight up brown. I'm talking like milk chocolate bar brown. It definitely isn't a color for the faint of heart. Again, the color is beautiful, lasts a decent amount of time, applies well, and is super pigmented. I will say this is a color that doesn't suit every skin tone. I'm very fair and this is not a color that looks good on my skin tone. If you have medium-deep skin tones, however, this will be a beautiful color for you to wear and a color you should definitely own!
Bitten Rose- Pixi by Petra Beauty- ($12.00USD)- I know the price is a little steep for a drugstore lipstick, but I included it in here because this brand is sold online and at Target. This lipstick is a deep rose color and in the perfect pink for the fall. The formula of this lipstick is a mattelustre formula, which basically means it's a demi matte finish. This lipstick also has vitamins C and E to help give the effect of plumper lips. I love the formula and the color of this lipstick. It wears nicely, is very hydrating(which is nice for the fall and winter time), the color is just beautiful, and it really does make your lips look plumper without that horrible tingling sensation that you can get with other plump-enhancing lip products. I know they are a little pricey, but I feel that you get what you pay for in this case.
Lumiere Lippe Stix-Colourpop- ($5.00USD)- First off, I am obsessed with Colourpop Cosmetics. I feel like they one of the best affordable online only makeup brands out there. I honestly cannot think of one product from them that I own that I don't absolutely love, and to top it all off, they are SO AFFORDABLE. You are getting high-end quality products for drugstore prices, in my opinion. Lumiere is the Lippie Stix that Kathleen Lights created with Colourpop. It's a dusty mauve color that is perfect for every skin tone. It's a matte finish, but is not drying at all. It applies so well and the color lasts a decent amount of time. It's super pigmented and is just amazing. Oh, and it's FIVE DOLLARS. You really just can't beat that price. Plus, I feel like everyone needs a good mauve in their fall makeup collection.
Bumble Ultra Matte Lip- Colourpop- ($6.00USD)- Again, another Colourpop product that just goes above and beyond my expectations. I know some people have issues with the formula of these liquid lipsticks(like them being too drying, being flaky) but I have found a way around those issues. I find if you apply one light layer of this product it doesn't get too dry or flaky. It's also important to remember to exfoliate whenever you use a liquid lipstick, because if you have any type of dry skin or chapped lips it's going to emphasize it, no matter what formula. I also like to use a layer of chapstick under all my liquid lipsticks so I don't have to worry about my lips drying out. With all that being said, Colourpop's Ultra Matte Lip are the best liquid lipstick from an affordable brand. They do not budge when you wear them, and you really have to work to get them off at the end of the day(just a little tip: Apply some chapstick on top of your liquid lipsticks when you want to take them off and then immediately wipe off. It removes it so easier than scrubbing your lips to death!). Bumble is a warm terracotta color that looks so nice on every skin tone. It applies easy, dries quickly, doesn't go on patchy, and lasts all day. Oh, and it's six dollars which is just unheard of in the world of liquid lipsticks. Definitely a fall staple!
Sierra Matte Lipstick-NYX Cosmetics- ($6.00USD)- Sierra is another one of Nyx's Matte lipsticks so I don't need to ramble on about the quality of these, because I did that in the posts above! Sierra is a burnt orange color with a slight pink undertone. It's pretty much what I would call Fall in a lipstick color. It is just such a unique color as well. Also, It's a pretty good dupe for Kathleen Lights's collab with Ofra Cosmetics(she created a liquid lipstick called "Miami Fever"), and since that color is no longer available, Sierra is the next best thing, in my opinion.
Alabama Matte Lipstick-NYX Cosmetics- ($6.00USD)- I always think that no matter what season, everyone should have a staple red lip color. Alabama is my staple red lipstick for fall. It's a deep, brick red and is just stunning. Again, cannot say enough good things about Nyx's matte lipstick formula or the quality of them. I would recommend a lip liner with this color, as it is a darker red and if you get it on your freshly done face you're gonna have a problem. It's a nice, wearable red for any skin tone, and is good to wear day or night.
Avenue Ultra Matte Lip-Colourpop- ($6.00USD)- Avenue is another Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick by Colourpop. The color is a deep red color. It's a fantastic red for every skin tone, and is the perfect red to wear for a night out. I would definitely recommend a lip liner with this lip color, as it is a very dark red. For more tips on how to prep and apply to your lips see my review on "Bumble" a few reviews.
Now when I say drugstore I'm referring to places like: Walmart, target, CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Ulta...etc. These are products that you can purchase by just stopping by your local drugstore and purchase with no problem.

Now without further ado, Let's get started!
Nudes, Browns, Pinks, and Reds
Euro Trash Matte Lipstick-NYX Cosmetics- ($6.00USD)- To me, NYX makes one of the best matte lipsticks that you are buy from the drugstore.

Avenue Ultra Matte Lip-Colourpop- ($6.00USD)- Avenue is another Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick by Colourpop. The color is a deep red color. It's a fantastic red for every skin tone, and is the perfect red to wear for a night out. I would definitely recommend a lip liner with this lip color, as it is a very dark red. For more tips on how to prep and apply to your lips see my review on "Bumble" a few reviews.
Purples, Berries, and Burgundies
Ellarie Lippie Stix- Colourpop- ($5.00USD)- Ellarie is a deep, cranberry color. It's a matte formula and lasts a very long time on the lips. It applies smoothly, is very pigmented, and is a color that will look great on all skin tones. As with all other darker lip colors, I would recommend using a lip liner with this one as well, just to avoid any feathering around the edges during the day. Of all of the darker lip colors I have picked out, this one is the most daytime appropriate one.
LBB Lippie Stix-Colourpop- ($5.00USD)- LBB is a rich purple-plum color. It is a matte finish and like all the other lippie stix reviews have said it applies smoothly, is very pigmented, and not drying at all. Again, I would recommend a lip liner to avoid feathering or bleeding of the lip color(FYI: Colourpop also has matching lip liners available for each one of their lippie stix. They are also $5.00USD). LBB is another color that just looks good on every skin tone, from the palest of skin to the darkest. Definitely a fall makeup staple!
Aria Matte Lipstick-NYX Cosmetics- ($6.00USD)- Aria is a straight up violet purple color. It is definitely a brave color! Again, as with all the other Nyx matte lipsticks, it applies well, lasts a long time, isn't drying at all, and is super pigmented. Just a little forewarning, this one will stain your lips, so just be aware of that. Also, since it is a purple, wear a lip liner with this one as well.
Copenhagen Soft Matte Lip Cream-NYX Cosmetics- ($6.00USD)- Copenhagen is my go to purple hued lip color in the fall. It's a very wearable color and can be worn day or night for a nice, bold lip. With this being a soft matte lip cream, it doesn't dry your lips out at all but gives you the look of a matte lip. It isn't as long lasting as a normal matte lipstick or liquid lipstick, as it is a creamier formula, but it does wear for a good amount of time and fades nicely. It can also be touched up easily as well. This is a Holy Grail lip color for me.
Wine&Dine High Voltage Lipstick- NYX Cosmetics- ($6.00USD)- Nyx's High Voltage lipsticks are insanely pigmented. They are super vibrant and glossy and just amazing. Wine&Dine is a deep plum color and is super intense. It applies very smoothly, is crazy pigmented, and is a nice glossy finish. I like the formula of this product because it is a glossy finish. I always feel like as soon as fall comes around everyone starts wearing a matte lip. Don't get me wrong, I love a matte lip, but it's nice to switch things up every once in a while and wear a glossy lip. You definitely want to wear a lip liner with this color as it is a glossy finish and tends to bleed and feather throughout the day. With it being a glossy finish it also doesn't last as long as a matte lipstick, but it does last longer than any other glossy finished lip product that I own.
Tulle Ultra Matte Lip-Colourpop- ($6.00USD)- Tulle is another one of Colourpop's Ultra Matte Lips. It's a lovely burgundy-mauve color and looks fantastic on all skin tones. It applies smoothly, dries to a matte finish quickly, and is not patchy at all. It can be a little drying, like most liquid lipsticks can be, but if you prep your lips properly(exfoliate, wear a moisturizing lip balm or chapstick under it) it will not stick to any dry patches or go flaky or crack during the day. As this is a dark color, I would definitely wear a lip liner with this. Also when applying these, make sure you do just one thin coat of the product. This will help cut down on the drying effects and the flakiness and the cracking as well.
Matte Love-Milani Cosmetics- ($5.99USD)- Matte Love is part of Milani's Color Statement Moisture Matte Lipstick line. It's a deep mauvy plum and is just such a good matte lipstick. It's not drying in the least bit and it still has the staying power of a good matte lipstick. It applies so nicely, no patchiness in the color, is super pigmented, and long lasting. It does fade during the day so you will have to touch up every few hours or so. This is also another color I would recommend wearing a lip liner with, as it is a dark color. This is another fall makeup staple and is great if I want to go for a dark, vampy look.
Dalia Lippie Stix-Colourpop- ($5.00USD)- Once again, another one of Colourpop's Lippie Stix makes the list and for good reason! Dalia is a deep burgundy wine color and is perfect for any vampy fall look you might be going for. It's a matte finish but, as I have said before, is not drying at all. It applies easily, not patchy, super pigmented, and lasts for a decent amount of time. This color also comes with a matching lip liner and I would definitely recommend picking that up as well with this lip color.
Feline High Voltage Lipstick-NYX Cosmetics- ($6.00USD)- Another High Voltage Lipstick makes it on to the list! Feline is a dark, deep burgundy color. Like all the High Voltage Lipsticks, it's insanely vibrant and is a glossy finish. Since it is a glossy finish, a lip liner is a definite must for this lipstick. You will also have to re-apply every few hours and this color will stain your lips a bit as well. If you are going for a super sultry fall look and want a glossy lip, Feline is a definite must have!
Transylvania Soft Matte Lip Cream-NYX Cosmetics- ($6.00USD)- I think it goes unspoken how dark this color is. I mean, it's named Transylvania. It's a deep, dark, almost black, violet. Again, the formula of this lip cream is super creamy, but dries to a matte finish. Since it is a creamy matte, it doesn't stay on as long as other matte lip products. It does apply smoothly, is very pigmented, and isn't patchy at all. It's a good color for all skin tones and is perfect for those vampy fall makeup looks. Again, wear a lip liner, as it is a dark color and can tend to feather a bit!
So there you have it! Those are my top drugstore/affordable Fall lip products. I know it's a lot of information to take in and read, I just want to make sure I give you the best review of each color I list! So what are some of ya'll's favorite affordable fall lip products?
