3 Lipstick and Lip Gloss Pairings We Plan on Wearing All Fall

When you hear the word “layering,” you might instantly think of putting a blazer over a sundress or a sweater over a tailored shirt. However, the action isn’t exclusive to clothing. You can layer color cosmetics – like lip glosses over lipsticks – to expand your fall makeup wardrobe too.

Given the fact that statement lips are predicted to be huge again this fall, there’s no better time to ace the technique either.

Ahead, three lip gloss and lipstick pairings we’re excited to wear all fall – and probably into winter too.

Red Lipstick + High-Shine Gloss

Layering a gloss over any shade of satin red lipstick – like the e. l. f. Cosmetics SRSLY Satin Lipstick in Cherry ($3) – is a simple way to switch up your go-to statement lip look. As far as what gloss to use? That’s up to you, but we love the e. l. f. Cosmetics Lip Lacquer in Clear ($3) because it isn’t sticky and lets your lipstick’s pigment really shine.

You can also up the intensity of your red lip look with a tinted lip gloss, like the e. l. f. Cosmetics Tinted Lip Oil in Shimmer Red Kiss ($6).

Neutral Pink Lipstick + Champagne Lip Gloss

A shimmery gold gloss, like the e. l. f. Cosmetics Lip Plumping Gloss in Champagne Glam ($6) would look so pretty over a pretty neutral pink lipstick.

We have our eyes on the e. l. f. Cosmetics SRSLY Satin Lipstick in Nectar ($3) or the e. l. f. Cosmetics Hydrating Core Lip Shine in Happy ($6).

Hot Pink Lipstick + Sparkly Lip Gloss

Looking to give your beauty routine a little Y2K flair this fall. Break out a bubblegum-pink tinted lip balm or lipstick, like the e. l. f. Cosmetics Sheer Slick Lipstick in Grapefruit ($5) and top it with a thick layer of lightly tinted or clear lip gloss.

We like that the e. l. f. Cosmetics Lip Lacquer in Bubbles ($3) and the e. l. f. Cosmetics Jelly Pop Juicy Lip Gloss in Sparkling Pop both offer a little sparkle on top of high-shine.
