Top 4 @ 4: Blazing a Trail in Burgundy

Whatever the year, burgundy is the colour of autumn. You can keep your navies and beiges and forget about black, burgundy is soft and flattering and it's even a little bit sexy.

We don't just wear burgundy in the clothes sense even though we do break our our fedora year after year and our ankle boots too - it's all over our face. Well, it's all over our lips and, maybe just maybe, we'll be adding a little hint of it near our peepers this year.

Since it's the colour that always returns for stomping-through-leaves time, we've heaps of articles in the archives that revolve around the hue. These four do not have a time limit, sure bookmark them while you're at it!

1. You may not have the exact products we used for this back-to-college tutorial, but you are sure to have somethings like them to recreate this perfect fresh-faced autumn look.

2. Ever wonder how you can darken a red lipstick? Well wonder no longer, here's where we show you how!

3. OK, so this article is not exactly ancient (we published it in August) but it does have a designer dupe in it from none other than Penneys - a bag that comes in burgundy that you'll use all season long and possibly through future autumns if you're careful.

4. If you're a green eyed gal or guy, burgundy should definitely be on those lids. Here are some of the best burgundy products to try.
