Burgundy and richer, darker berry reds typically have limited undertones inherent to the colors that complement many skin tones wonderfully. We bring the best shades of burgundy lipsticks available right now to help you channel wine lips with grace.

MAC Burgundy Lip Liner For this post, I solely wore MAC’s Burgundy Lip Liner and a smudge of lip balm. I thought that I would opt for MAC Burgundy as it could go with my Diva lipstick, which likes to half come off after a long day so I thought that these two would pair together really well and they do! MAC Vino Lip Pencil MAC Vino is a very cool-toned, medium-dark burgundy with a matte finish. It is a lip liner that is permanent in this palette: Stroke of Midnight/Violet. Jump to a particular section if you know what information you're looking for! Lip liners might be a bit pricey, but it is definitely worth it. The liners are so creamy and are really pigmented. They also work great as a lipstick 'primer', meaning you apply it before the lipstick and the result would be a great pigmented lip color. I was running low on my burgundy lip liner by MAC so I decided to purchase another one here. I was excited when I received it on time but when I opened up the box it didn't look like the color I ordered so I compared it to my old liner. Their was definitely a big difference between the two not just the color but the print on the liner and texture.

How to Choose the Best Burgundy Lipstick for Your Skin Tone

When choosing your wine or burgundy lipstick remember to consider not only the shade, but also the finish. Fortunately, burgundy is a universally flattering hue that still has a bit of nuance to exploit.

• For a deep, saturated color that still appears approachable enough for work, consider a sheer burgundy lipstick. You get the impact of the color, but it won’t come off extremely vampy.
• Dark berry colors with a red or pink base look good on everyone, and you are more likely to find a shade you are comfortable with quickly.
• Blue and purple-based burgundy lipsticks are the boldest out there. The colors are rich, deep and dramatic.
• Shiny or matte can affect the look. Though neither will detract, it’s a matter of final effect – shiny lips can appear dressier, while matte can appear bolder. If you want a bit of shine without giving up your matte finish, add a bit of sparkle and glitter to the center of the lips for a completely different yet phenomenal look.

Remember to match your burgundy lipstick to your skin tone. Burgundy and wine lipsticks have undertones like every other lipstick. Pink, red, brown, and blue are the typical four undertones that burgundy lipsticks feature, according to which you need to choose one for your skin tone.

Mac Burgundy Lip Liner Dupe

To figure out the undertone of the burgundy lipstick you are going to buy, swipe the tester over a white tissue, which will instantly reveal the correct undertone.

• Burgundies with pink undertones look best on fairer skinned people. Additionally, pink-based burgundy lipsticks flatter light-haired and light-eyed beauties, as they make the color of the eyes instantly pop.
• Brown and red undertones of burgundy lipsticks look best on darker, richer skin, and on those with dark eyes and dark hair. Think dark plum, deep red, and blackberry shades
• True burgundy and maroon-based wine lipsticks are the best for medium skin tones, while brown-based ones are to be avoided here.
• Though blue toned burgundy lip colors look best on cooler skin tones, they can work on everyone depending on the depth of the shade and the finish.
