I’m all about the classic red lip for holiday!
Even though the beauty trends have heavily leaned towards neutrals, nudes, and dusty pink lip colours (such a 90’s throwback), I am still such a sucker for a bold rouge, especially at this time of year. The winter tends to turn my skin a pale, less glowy hue and a red lip can seriously pack a punch. In fact, I’ve been known to throw on a rouge lipstick in a pinch if I happen to have no other makeup on and have to look slightly more put together.
I’ve cycled through many favourites, but at the moment I keep gravitating towards the NYX Pin-Up Pout in Lucy! This cruelty free lipstick is well pigmented and doesn’t bleed or require a lipliner, which I greatly appreciate. This one is definitely on the cooler side and has a slight pink tinge to it. As I’m such a classic kinda gal, I love to pair it with either a winged liquid eyeliner or just lots of lashes without liner. Makes the red lippie the star of the show!
