Tips for Incorporating Burgundy Makeup into Your Fall Routine

Burgundy makeup is a versatile trend that can enhance any look as fall approaches. The rich, purplish-red hue is not limited to lipstick; it can be applied to lips, eyes, and cheeks, making it a favorite choice for many.

Celebrity makeup artist MarQuis Ward emphasizes that burgundy can add depth, richness, and sophistication to a makeup look without appearing overly dramatic. He notes that burgundy formulas should ideally be buildable and blendable, allowing for both delicate washes and bold statements.

To try this trend, consider these tips:

For Lips: A burgundy lip can be glossy, matte, or blotted. Ward suggests using a deeper lip liner to shape the lips and filling in with a burgundy color for added dimension.

For Eyes: Ward prefers a monochromatic burgundy eye look, utilizing different shades and finishes for depth. A matte burgundy in the crease, accompanied by a reflective hue on the lids, can create significant dimension.

For Cheeks: Burgundy blush offers a romantic aesthetic. If traditional powder blush is intimidating, experts recommend starting with a creamy blush or sheer cheek tint for a more manageable introduction.

For an eye-catching look, a burgundy eyeliner can offer a subtle hint of color when tightlining, or a bolder graphic look reminiscent of runway styles.

When selecting burgundy products, look for those with suitable pigmentation and blendability for various skin tones. High-pigment products work well but ensure they can be sheered out to avoid overly dramatic effects.
