In the beauty world, dark lipstick is ubiquitous once fall rolls around. Whether it's a ruddy brown, a cool greige, or a deep wine — the deeper and more opaque, the better.

Luckily, Hollywood is showing us the way. Over the past few weeks, celebrities have been popping up left and right wearing all manner of moody hues and looking damn good doing it. They're proof that whether you're a seasoned pro or a dark-lipstick virgin, there's a shade out there that will make you look insanely cool.
