Find a deeper pink shade than you normally wear. To help your favorite pink lip color transition into fall, simply bump it up. You can even layer a sheer brown lip gloss over a light to mid -one pink lipstick to give it a richer hue if you don't want to buy new makeup.

Add texture. Top your pink lip colors off with shimmery gloss for a shiny, festive look or with a powder shimmer highlighter in the center of your lips if you want to keep the sparkle subtle.

Layer your favorite pink lip product over a deeper color so your base shade gets a pink flavor. The result will have a rich fall feel to it, since the pink combined with your deeper shade will give you a finished product on the mauve, berry, or plum side of the color spectrum.

Try a pink lip stain. If you've always opted for pretty pinks with light to medium, perhaps even glossy, finishes, get ready for a change. A lip stain is a quick way to add drama to your look. Make sure you moisturize your lips first, allowing the lip balm to seep into your skin. Lip stains are long-wearing and sometimes drying cosmetics that may take awhile to disappear. The payoff is in how you don't need to constantly reapply your lip color throughout the day. A lip stain is particularly suitable for fall because of its color intensity favored during the season.

Do not let your lighter pink lip products sit idly in your makeup case during the cooler months; Invest in a palette and spatula from the art supply store to create different fall shades like an artist mixes paints. Simply blend a variety of other cosmetics in deep or rich tones on the palette with your pink lip products. You can use pigments, multi-use mineral makeup in the shades you fancy, gels, glosses and anything else you have on hand--such as powdered juice mix--that you would like to use for enhanced pink lips.

Tips & Warnings
Help your lip color go on as smoothly as possible by using a lip brush. Highly pigmented pinks and the combinations you come up with can be especially tricky to apply; a lip brush is a tool which brings you professional-looking results by evenly spreading your product over even the hard to reach corners of your lips.
Make sure that the other cosmetics you apply on your lips are safe for use on and around the mouth area. Not all makeup can be utilized as lip color.
