4 Of The Best Lipstick Shades To Wear This Winter

Celebrate National Lipstick Day in style with our guide to the must-have lipstick shades of the season.

Lipstick is undoubtedly the most powerful makeup accessory you can wear due to its ability to really make a statement. Plus, applying lipstick is infinitely easier than trying to master an eyeshadow or eyeliner look, and we’re all for something quick and easy. With National Lipstick Day officially here, we’re sharing our must-have lipstick shades to try this season.

If you’re a fan of nude

Try: Giorgio Armani Lip Power in Androgino

With a product name like Lip Power, you know you’re signing up for a formula that offers long-lasting wear that offers lots of coverage. In addition, there are so many reasons to fall in love with this product: the light texture is buildable so you can either go with a sheer wash of colour or a more opaque finish, and the satin finish is versatile for a day or night look, and the drop-shaped bullet allows for a more precise application, especially around tighter areas like your Cupid’s bow.

If you’re a fan of red

Try: KVD Beauty Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Outlaw

When you’re wearing something as bold as red lipstick, you want it to really last, which is why liquid lipstick should be your go-to option. This one from KVD Beauty offers moisturising powers thanks to the addition of vitamin E and sunflower seed wax so your lips won’t feel cracked or parched which is often the case with most liquid lippies.

If you’re a fan of dark red

Try: Lancome L'Absolu Rouge Drama Ink Liquid Lipstick in 481

There’s nothing sexier than dressing up your little black dress with a slick of dark red lipstick for a vampy makeup look. The Lancome L'Absolu Rouge Drama Ink Liquid Lipstick is worth reaching for due to its nourishing water-in-oil formula that offers a more pigmented finish that lasts up to eight hours. If you’re someone that hates the feeling of wearing normal lipstick, you’re in luck – the texture of this one is four times thinner than a traditional lippie so it feels ultra-comfortable to wear.

If you’re a fan of pink

Try: M.A.C Mini M.A.C Lipstick in Mehr

M.A.C has one of the biggest lipstick ranges on offer, and a lot of the shades now come in a smaller format so it’s an even greater incentive to try new colours. The shade Mehr is a matte cool-toned pink that is a great option to reach all year round. It’s even one of their best-selling shades, so you know you’re going with a good option here.
