Put away your pearly pinks and powdery peaches...the latest lipstick shades for fall are dramatic, vampy, even goth-inspired. Sounds like something you used to stash in your jeans pocket in another life? Maybe so. But thanks to the latest versions from Mattese Elite, the latest versions are chic enough to make their way into your handbag. My favorite, believe it or not, is called Porn Star. This bright pink shade takes me back to the Eighties when the Go-Gos ruled and Cyndi Lauper was a household name. But today's version is more sophisticated... instead of bubblegum pink, think toned-down fuchsia (if there is such a thing). Another favorite, Ecstasy, is a tomato (not fire-engine) red that you could actually get away with wearing when you're 21+. But the best part is the texture: these new lipsticks are ubermoisturizing and leave a sleek wet finish. And they feel as creamy as it gets. Granted, Slippery, Provocative, Deep and the practically-black Bite Me are seriously darker than I would dare to venture but, hey, it's the trend this season so have fun with it. Order yours at www.RickysNYC.com, then prepare to pucker up.

I am still such a fan of nude lips! I like the Porn Star shade though; it's gorgeous. To me, nothing is more unattractive, and aging to boot, than these horrid dark lipsticks in purple and dark red. I don't care how trendy it is..it looks awful. I guess I am not very trendy when it comes to makeup. I know what works for me and I stick to that color palette with a few variations now and then. Thanks for sharing these great suggestions with us.
