The rich, brown burgundy hue commonly known as ‘Oxblood’ has been touted by makeup artists, fashion designers, and lifestyle experts as the ‘must-have’ fall colour.
When it comes to beauty, experts agree that the burgundy brown shade is perfect for eyes, nails and yes, the lips. It’s a daring shade that some women shy away from, but for those of you that can’t resist the sexy shade; we thought we would share some of our favourite oxblood inspired lipsticks.
