Pucker up collegietes! Winter blues got you down? Brighten up your drabby neutral winter wadrobe with a bold lip. There is no better way to make a statement this holiday season than with a daring shade. Here are the hues you need to stock up on this holiday season:
Wine
Is red your go-to but you’re looking for a more holiday hue? Switch it up with a wine-colored variation. This hue sticks to your traditional red and pink color family but adds a little more richness to your look.
Tubes to try:
M.A.C. Mineralize Rich lipstick in “All Out Gorgeous”
Nars Sheer lipstick in “Fast Ride”
Plum/ Eggplant
Feeling bold? Try a purple-hued lip. Faded and dulled purples spice up any all black look or camel-colored sweater. Stick to more natural and lighter face make-up to let this color truly steal the show.
Tubes to try:
Yves Saint Laurent Beaute Rouge Pur Couture Mat Lipstick in Prune Avenue
Tom Ford Bruised Plum
Chocolate/Cinnamon
Love slicking on a bare, natural color? Crank it up a notch with a slightly darker variation of nude: chocolate. This will keep your look natural but with a bit more punch and sophistication.
Tubes to try:
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipcolor in Spicy Cinnamon
Tangerine
Marc Jacobs, Moschino, and Oscar de La Renta – tangerine has definitely made a splash the past runway seasons. This orange hue adds brightness and light to any outfit and face.

Rimmel Lasting Finish By Kate Lipstick in 12

A mixture of nude and a light pink is the throw-on shade. Add a pinch of color to your lips without drawing attention to a vibrant color.
