This season's makeup trend is all about being fiery and bold. And nothing speaks bold like a tube of smoldering red lipstick. So expect MAC's
Ruby Woo and Rimmel's
Kate Red to be selling like hotcakes this season. (
As if Ruby Woo isn't a bestseller all throughout the year, lol.)
Not to be outdone by the European and Western brands, Korean cosmetics companies have also released makeup collections that are attuned with this season's trend.
Feast your eyes on the latest releases from some of my favorite Korean makeup brands.

| Han Bo Reum for The Face Shop. |
It is what it is for The Face Shop's Fall (and Winter) Collection - Simply Classic.
 |
| My eyes are fixated on the fourth to the last tube. :) |
Their Artist Touch lipstick has three ranges - Moisture, Glossy, and Creamy Matte. Pictured above are the shades from the Moisture range.
 |
| Yoona for Innisfree. |
Meanwhile, glossy, moisturized lips are the promise of
Innisfree's
Color Glow line. There are ten different shades in the collection, and those purple-toned ones in the middle kinda tickle my fancy.
 |
| BoA for Missha. |
Missha, on the other hand,
calls its Fall collection '
Belle Epoque' - reminiscent of the era of artistic and cultural refinement in French history. That wine red lipstick from the Fatal Aura range is giving me the 'Moulin Rouge' vibe - chic, sultry, and utterly sexy.
 |
| Rosy Tint Lips. |
Etude House's
Rosy Tint Lips are actually lip stains - with a twist to it.
 |
| Sulli for Etude House. |
They're packaged like lip glosses but are highly pigmented, with a creamy texture and a matte finish. And I can't wait to grab shades number 3 and 8 for myself, lol.
 |
| Loving Laneige. :) |
Last but not the least, there's
Laneige and their heart-pounding, show-stopping collection of '
Serum Intense' Lipstick. They have 20 different shades in the collection, all of which have a lovely, satin finish.
But why, you may ask, is red the 'in' thing this autumn?
Park Hye Jeong, a makeup artist at NARS, puts it this way, "
A prolonged recession makes people feel that they can't afford even a little bit of luxury. A simple touch of red lipstick alone is like complete make-up, so the answer is red."
So ladies, which red lipstick will you be wearing this season?
