The season of food, drinks, awkward work parties, and questionable gifts is nigh! Keep the festive spirit alive with the best holiday lipstick colors to wear this season. Take the chance to treat yourself to a new beauty haul or even try a new shade you’ve been too scared to try.
Deep Jewel-Toned Purple
Warm-toned purples that lean toward berry, red, and deep pink are super flattering, especially with green eyes. Shake Your Ruby and Mi Amor take the cake.
Wear with: a simple black winged eye and falsies on the outer ends of the lashes.
Sheer Glitzy Gold
The chilly season needn’t be all matte, opaque, and deep tones. Channel tinsel and glitter with a sheer gold gloss. Santorini Sun drenches the lips in hydrating, juicy gloss with little gold flecks to catch the Christmas tree lights. This is a simple and easy way to dress your pout without worrying about smudging, fading, or drying.
Wear with: a bronze-gold smokey eye and warmed-up cheeks with an apricot blush.
True Ruby Red
If in doubt, a true red will always save your makeup woes. No matter the occasion, a bold red always fits in. My new go-to is Mami, a creamy bullet lipstick that won’t suck the moisture from your lips.
Wear with: nothing but a little blush, some black pencil smudged into the upper lash line, and a few wispy falsies.
Pumpkin Orange
Orange is red’s cooler younger sibling, up for a party and gets along with everyone. A bright orange lip against bronzed skin and a gleaming gold highlight…chef’s kiss! Lean into the pumpkin spice madness with a shade like Let’s Make Out.
Wear with: dewy skin warmed with burnished bronzer and a peachy-gold cream highlight.
Christmas Tree Green
I mean, there’s nothing wrong with being literal. Why not really wear the season on your sleeve (or lips), with a unique green matte lippie. It’s kinda punk, kinda kooky, and definitely cute. Liprechaun is the perfect fir tree emerald.
Wear with: keep the rest of the look simple and clean with a flawless base, a little pink rouge on the cheeks, groomed brows, and lots of black or deep brown mascara.
