The thermostat is dropping and I keep waking up to frost glittering on my window, the season of pumpkin spice and spookiness is over, and the season of peppermint mocha and holiday cheer is upon us. I don’t know about you, but I’m basically a seasonal chameleon in terms of my makeup, so read on for my winter lipstick recommendations!

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment in Passion

This one is for all of you no-makeup babes! It’s sheer – but dark – and super balmy, so it’s perfect for dry and flaky winter lips – yes, a little gross, but we all know it happens!

Revlon ColorBurst Matte Lip Crayon in Shameless

Statement lips are more fun in the winter for some reason – I don’t know why, but I can roll with it. Try this purple matte number for a big punch!

Colourpop Lippie Stix in Creature

Here’s another dark red option – more of a statement for those of you who are into that! Bonus: it’s only $5!

Buxom Full on Lip Polish in Erica

Not into statement lips? Not to worry – we’ve got you covered. This gloss is sparkly and plumping – it’ll keep your lips nice and lush during those cold winter days.

Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in Addis Ababa

Okay, let me tell you – this lip product is literally my favourite ever. It’s matte but actually hydrating, and every shade is beautiful somehow? This hot pink is especially great to bring some light into those dark winter afternoons.

Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Echo

Speaking of statement lips – and dark lips – why not go all the way to this gorgeous velvety navy blue? Pair this with navy knits for a super cool monochrome look!

NYC Ultra Moist Lip Wear Lipstick in Chiffon

Here’s another pastel pink option for those of you who prefer a sweeter look. This lipstick is basically winter candyland in a tube!

Sephora Cream Lip Stain in Marvelous Mauve

This long-lasting lip stain is literally amazing in every season, but it’s especially nice in the winter! You know the my lips, but better thing? This is that, but it makes a special oomph by being just a shade lighter or darker than your natural lip colour – perfect for the winter season.
