Designed to stun as a color block, you can either dress it up even more with eyeliner and blush or leave it as is and still garner some head turns and compliments all day long. Making you feel like you not only got filled with the holiday spirit but that you're bringing it wherever you go, too!
Suave Mauve
If you want to bring a little "grinch" fun to the party or give the impression over Zoom that you're not afraid to say "bah humbug," then test out some mauve-colored lip shades! They can give a more electric feel while still embracing the more notorious vibes of the holiday season.
Steamy Hot Cocoa
Looking for a color that brings you comfort but also class? A deep matte brown lip shade might be just the thing you're looking for! A beautiful shade against darker skin tones and a wonderful statement piece for lighter complexions, a matte brown shade is one you can’t go wrong with if you’re looking for safety AND stylish.
North Pole Nude
If you've got other winter makeup looks up your sleeve and need a complimenting lip shade rather than it being a focus, then a nude color might be the perfect choice for you! Nude shades are a great way to give color and fullness to your lips while amplifying other dramatic plays on the eyes, cheeks, or apparel.
