Best Dark Lip Products for Winter

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BC chapter.

With winter fast approaching, dark lips will soon be all the rage; here are some rich reds and pretty plums to help you join the trend.

Before applying lipstick or a tint, it’s best to apply a lip scrub, which will remove any dead skin cells, as well as a moisturizing balm, which allows for a smoother application.

Fresh’s Sugar Lip Polish is gentle, but gets the job done; it also smells delicious, and comes in a tiny little package that is perfect for travel.

As for lip balm, there are a myriad of varieties, but Bliss makes one of the best. Their Fabulips lip balm has a faint vanilla scent and is extremely nourishing, and works well as a base for lipstick.

Now, here are three lipsticks perfect for winter.

Tarte LipSurgenceä lip tint in Moody

This gorgeous lip tint delivers a bold, yet still flattering berry shade. The crayon-like tube makes for an effortless application, and since it’s a tint, it will be more likely to stay on your lips, providing all-day coverage. 

Bobbi Brown Vixen Red Lip Color

This reddish blue lipstick is not only the perfect dark red, but the formula is extremely moisturizing. The color won’t bleed or stain your teeth, removing one worry from your day.

Stila Lip Glaze in Blackberry

A fan favorite, Stila’s lip glazes act as a lipstick and gloss in one. The color lasts like a lipstick, but the beautiful shine resembles a gloss. The product can stand alone, but is even better when layered over a lipstick to create a shimmering pout.
