The cold weather may have us pining for our blankets but let’s be honest, this season is packed with events! From holiday parties to weddings, each week is filled with fun things to attend… which means that you need to look chic at all times. Check out these 5 winter shades to make sure that your pout stays on point!

1. Plum

Save the neon pinks for summer and swipe on this gorgeous hue instead. A deep plum lip imparts equal amounts of glamour and mystique. Stick to creamy formulas to avoid drying your lips out.

3. Oxblood

A swipe of this colour is bound to transform any outfit! Since this hue looks best in a matte finish, we suggest that you layer it on top of a lip balm to save your lips from getting parched.

4. Fuchsia

We often limit ourselves to dark lipsticks during winter, but not anymore! Two coats of a punchy fuchsia lip colour will brighten up the gloomiest of days. Remember to line your lips first to get long lasting pigmentation.

5. Pinkish Nude

Since smoky eyes are practically a staple for every New Year’s Eve party, you need a great neutral lipstick. Choose a shade that veers between pink and nude so that your lips stay muted, not lacklustre.
