Asthe chilly holiday weather comes upon us, wouldn’t it be nice to also feel that warm hug and kiss from your significant other? The Christmas season is undeniably about spending some quality time with family, friends, and special loved ones. From Christmas week to Christmas Eve to the day itself, it is just so calming to snuggle up with your person. It is like Valentine’s day — also indeed a heart’s day!
Red and green colors float around in decorations symbolizing Christmas. But, red definitely sparks a little more joy — at least when it comes to lipsticks. With how wide the spectrum of the color red is, there is something fitting for everyone. With bold, popping red lipsticks, you will definitely be a head-turner at your next holiday event.
If you want your kiss under the mistletoe to be unforgettable, these luxurious red lipsticks might be for you.
On Fire
If you really want to make a statement, then bright, fiery red lipstick might be up your alley. We love the Elizabeth Arden Lip Color lippies; they’re rich in pigment and contain nourishing ingredients that help keep your lips moisturized throughout the day. Non-bleeding and non-feathering, this bright lipstick is formulated to keep reduce the appearance of fine lines for visibly plump, supple lips.
Alternatively, you can also try silky smooth lipsticks from Sunnies Face. With dazzling, orange undertones that make your teeth look whiter, this lippie can help your smile shine. This fire-like color gives that spice you are looking for!
Glorious Sheen
If you think of Dior and Chanel are all about just bags and wallets, well this product might change your mind. The Dior Lip Addict, Dior Addict Shine, and Chanel Rouge Coco Bloom are essential collections for those that don’t really want the boldness of matte lipstick but still crave that lush pop of color. This balm-like lip lacquer applies with a smooth and velvety texture that gives the lips an absolutely luscious look perfect for that kiss under the mistletoe. Cute for picture-perfect photos, this lipstick will help you slay that pouty kiss pose.
Crimson Queen
You will definitely crave more with this shade! You can try the Hourglass Confession Ultra-Slim lipstick in a brighter (but more subdued) red shade — but worry not! It’s not your ordinary bright shade. It suits almost everyone with the finish it gives. It delivers a creamy and saturated color. Another good thing about this is its shape. It precisely contours and defines the lips while giving you that ease of application with its refillable feature. This on-the-go lippie will be your friend for those fast-paced moments of your life. If you prefer the long wear of liquid lipsticks, we also love the Rouge Dior Forever lippies!
Red Brick Road
This is a yummy surprise in brick. For those leaning more toward the neutrals but still want that hint of spice, there’s no going wrong with the YSL Rouge Pur Couture lippie. It’s infused with rosemary and carrot extract that can help make your lips softer and more kissable. The color stays true without bleeding, feathering, drying, or settling into fine lines. This medium to full-coverage lipstick settles into a lush satin finish that stays on for up to 6 hours. You can also try the Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution for hydrating yet long-wearing matte lippies.
Cheese & Wine
These lipsticks are classics that no one can deny. MAC lipsticks are long-wearing with a lustrous finish. It leaves your lips soft and smooth while ensuring a long-lasting stay all throughout your date. Whether you go to picnics, malls, or nights out, this shade is suitable for you. It is a bold red, but not too overpowering. Enriched with shea butter and hyaluronic acid, your lips will be conditioned until evening as if you just applied the very first swipe.
The holiday season is about love and warm feelings. It is about caring and showing affection to your loved ones. No matter what your love language is, a kiss is really something that most of us wait for. Doesn’t matter what kind of kiss, the smile that your lips form gives shine to others. Slay the day with red lipstick, and your perfect kiss under the mistletoe with your special someone will be marked forever in your heart and mind.
