I’m all about the CLASSIC red lip for Christmas!
While the trends in beauty have largely favored neutrals as well as nude and pink lipstick colors (such as a throwback to the 90’s) but I’m still in love with an intense red lip, particularly during this time of year. The winter months tend to give my skin to a lighter, more dull hue, and a red lipstick is a serious punch. In fact, I’ve even been often seen wearing an oxblood lipstick when I’m not wearing any other makeup in order to appear more professional.
I’ve tried a variety of my favorites and at present I’m still a fan of my favorite, the NYX The Pin-Up Out in Lucy! The cruelty-free lipstick is extremely colored and doesn’t drip or need a liner which I really appreciate. It’s definitely cool and is slightly pink to it. Since I’m an old-fashioned girl, I prefer pairing it with an eyeliner that is winged or just a few eyelashes that aren’t lined. It makes this red eyeliner the main attraction for the evening!
