Lipsticks are truly one of my biggest obsessions. I wear them all year round, and while nude tones are my everyday go-to, I can’t resist experimenting with brownish hues in the autumn months. They instantly make any look feel more polished and season-appropriate.

I don’t wear red lipstick often, but I honestly believe nothing is more impactful than a good red in autumn – it’s bold, powerful and timeless.

When it comes to favourites, I can’t stop wearing Prada lipstick in shade Nudo and my Valentino lipstick. Both are shades that transition beautifully from season to season, and they’ve been my reliable staples for months now.

If there’s one category I can never get enough of, it’s lip glosses. I’m constantly buying and trying new ones, simply because there are so many beautiful formulas and finishes out there.

I usually lean towards nude and lighter shades – especially when I’ve already defined my lips with a darker liner or lipstick. A gloss in a rosy or nude tone instantly adds freshness and softness to the look, which I absolutely love.

My number one has to be the PAT McGRATH gloss – it’s the one I reach for the most. But right after it, the Buxom glosses are also incredible. Recently, I’ve been using the Make Up For Ever gloss as well, and I’m pleasantly surprised by how hydrating it is while still giving that glass-like shine.

Now this might be my favourite lip category of all. I never go a day without applying a lip balm or treatment – usually several times a day. I used to mainly rely on overnight masks (which I still adore), but now so many brands are creating balms that look beautiful enough to wear during the day, even on top of makeup.

The new Dior Butter Lip Balm has quickly become an essential for me – I honestly have one in every handbag. It’s hydrating, pretty and so easy to reapply on the go.

I also can’t go without the Rhode lip treatments. They’ve become my ultimate go-to when I don’t want to wear much makeup. Just a touch of blush and one of these balms, and I’m ready to step out the door. They’re the perfect mix of care and beauty.

Finally, let’s talk about lip stains – a category that has become my absolute favourite over the past year or two. While I use lip liners daily and love the definition they give, stains really take things to another level.

They save me so much time because they keep my lips defined for hours, even when other products start fading. All I need to do throughout the day is add a lipstick or gloss on top, and I’m good to go.

The Wonderskin lip stain is definitely my holy grail in this category – the staying power is unmatched. At the same time, I can’t go without my Huda Beauty liners, which remain a daily essential for shaping and defining my lips. I know many people say these liners dry out quite quickly, but if you store them properly and use them the right way, you won’t have any issues.
