October 2025 is all about fearless lips. As fashion turns richer and textures get cozier, beauty lovers are choosing shades that make an impact. This month, statement lips aren’t just an accessory – they’re the main character.

Leading the charge are deep berry tones, from black cherry to mulberry. Think Dior Rouge Dior in 895 Hypnotic Matte or Charlotte Tilbury’s Glastonberry, the perfect moody companion to a chunky knit. Brick reds and terracotta hues are also having a moment, with NARS Audacious Lipstick in Mona and Hermès Rouge H offering that warm, autumnal edge.

For the bold and experimental, metallics and chromes are stepping off the runway and into real life. Huda Beauty Power Bullet Metallic Lipstick brings a gilded finish, while Fenty Beauty’s Icon Velvet in C-Suite Heart delivers a modern, high-pigment punch.

Finish matters just as much as color – velvet-matte formulas create a sophisticated, editorial look, while high-shine lacquers like Dior Addict Lip Maximizer bring a glassy, wet-look effect perfect for evening.

Whether it’s a fall soirée, a Halloween night out, or just coffee with friends, this October is the time to ditch the safe nudes and embrace a lip that speaks volumes. After all, when your lip color is this good, you don’t need much else.
