Must-have Lipsticks to Survive the Winter
December 8, 2017
‘Tis the season of holiday parties, winter wardrobes and much-deserved time off. Make it count by completing your beauty routine with the perfect shade for every occasion. We’ve gathered our top picks for this season’s lipstick roundup.
Violet Delights
A gorgeous plum/violet is perfect for winter – it’s bold and daring, while muted at the same time. A violet is the perfect way to accentuate smoky eye looks and tie together your party aesthetic.
Try: Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in Shame; $17
Classic Red
As one of the designated colors of the season, you’d be remiss to leave a bright red out of your makeup kit this year. Perfectly painted red lips bring make any outfit look put-together, and they give your confidence a boost, too.
Try: MAC Ruby Woo Lipstick; $18
Sparkly Nude
Sometimes a little sparkle can go a long way. It’s not always necessary to pack on a ton of color to make your lips pop — a glossy nude with a hint of glitter is the perfect piece to keep in your bag for rushed mornings or afternoon touch-ups.
Try: Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer; $18
Matte Forever
We’ll admit it: we’re mad for matte. Having a good matte stick in your kit is essential – and the color almost doesn’t even matter. Pro tip – use a moisturizing matte to help keep chapped lips from cracking the color.
Try: Too Faced Peach Kiss Matte Lipstick; $21
Gilded Lips
Leave 2017 (or welcome 2018) in a truly luxe fashion – sipping bubbly with golden lips. It may seem a little risque, but once you’ve tried it, you’ll never go back. No matter your skin tone, you’ll love darn good in gold.
