Merlot tones are this autumn's makeup hit. Here's how to wear them

If you’ve ever looked at a glass of merlot and thought, "That would look amazing on my lips," you’re not alone. This season, deep wine shades - rich, berry-tinged and full of character - are taking centre stage in the world of makeup.

The concept is simple: lips, eyes and cheeks telling the same lush, monochromatic story. Wine tones bring just the right amount of drama. They’re elegant, bold - but never too much.

You can go all in with this trend - dark lipstick, defined eyes, a velvety complexion - or keep it soft with a plum-toned blush or a subtle wine-coloured wash over the lids. It all depends on what you feel most comfortable in, and your mood that day.

These shades are made for autumn. They strike the perfect balance between gothic romance and refined glamour. Seductive, sophisticated and unmistakably seasonal - and we’ve no doubt you’ll love them.
