'Tis the season for red lips! Even though I love to sport a red lip year-round, the festive season especially calls for red lisptick, almost even on a daily basis. There's just something so classic and timeless about a red lip, so when Christmas-time comes around, it just gets even more fun and exciting to wear as we almost all collectively join together with our red pouts!
When it comes to festive red lisptick, I prefer those true reds rather than those atumnal deep berry shades. However, there can still be a wide variety of shades and tones when it comes to true reds such as: bright neutral red; a slightly deeper and cooler red; plus an orange-y red lip.
The Blood Red. Starting off with something different, is the classic red's more fierce sister in that it's a bit deeper, with cooler untertones. The Too Faced Melted Matte Liquid Lipstick in "Lady Balls" is synonymous to a deep ruby which looks so luxurious on the lips that it really imitates the look of velvet. This is a stunning red that takes the typically bright, neutral red in a slightly more unique and mysterious direction. (Full review here.) The Classic Red. The classic firetruck red: not too warm, nor cool, nor deep. It's the epitome of the classic red that's been seen on old Hollywood glamour beauty icons. My favourite is the L'Oréal Le Matte in "Mad for Matte" (see below for similar) that conforms to that classic red shade that instantly brightens the face. I feel that for this type of shade, a matte finish makes the look even more sophistacted and chic, although a glossy look could definitely amp it up into a more glamourous lip.
The Orange-Red. For a warmer red, yet still festive, the Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in "111 - Kiss of Life" is gorgeous as the orange undertone isn't too obivious. Instead, it's a very flattering warm shade that can compliment any skin undertone so that you can easily pair it with a warm gold eye for the holiday season!

It's probably my most favourite red ever!
DeleteI have got to try the too faced melted lipstick formula. I have become obsessed with Too Faced this year and I've loved everything that I've tried from them.
