It's almost winter in some parts of the world, and as the weather turns, women are getting ready to revamp their makeup styles to suit the chill vibes of the season. According to beauty pros, some of the autumn/winter makeup trends for this year will include colourful eyeshadow, grungy smokey eyes, and 60s-inspired lashes. But if you want an easy way to update your look, simply swap your nude or MLBB lip colour for something that's a little richer and bolder.
Some of the most popular lipsticks which have withstood the test of time are perfect for winter's cosy and luxe aesthetic, and they work really well when they're worn with wintertime closet staples. They’re also super flattering on a wide range of skin tones, so anyone can wear them without looking washed out. To elevate your look for the season, get a fresh tube of any of these iconic lipsticks to pair with your favourite cold weather outfits.
Clinique Black Honey
Back in the 90's, Clinique's Black Honey Almost Lipstick was a staple in every makeup kit since this formula imparted a sheer wash of beautiful, berry-tinted colour on everyone's lips. Decades later, the lipstick became popular again as it went viral on TikTok earlier this year. Clinique says that they sell seven tubes of the lipstick every minute, and beauty enthusiasts can’t get enough of it because it simply looks good on everyone.
So what makes Black Honey so special? For one thing, you can apply a thin layer for a natural, bitten lip look, or build it up to get that deep, reddish purple shade that looks so attractive for the winter months. For a casual look, apply one layer of Black Honey and pair it with jeans and your favourite hoodie. If you want a more polished look, apply four to five layers of Black Honey, then slip on a jumpsuit that caters to the winter months. Choose a wide-legged, wool jumpsuit, then layer a leather jacket over it to keep you warm while adding some edge to your fashion ensemble.
MAC Ruby Woo
Need a true red lipstick for the winter holiday season? Look no further than MAC's Ruby Woo. This iconic beauty product was launched in 1999 as part of the company's Retro Matte collection, and since then, it has become one of the most recognisable lipstick shades in the world. Makeup artists know it by sight, and they love using it on their clients since it's perfectly balanced between cool and warm. It's blue tone also makes it look more modern compared to other red lipsticks, and the absence of shine makes it suitable for everyday wear and special occasions.
For a dramatic look, wear Ruby Woo with a black and white outfit, consisting of a black turtleneck dress, a white knee-length coat, and black over-the-knee boots. The lipstick also looks great when paired with a black turtleneck, a leopard-print coat, and black jeans. For a relaxed yet polished vibe, wear Ruby Woo with a chambray shirt, dark wash jeans, and a white blazer. Accessorise with a pair of brown leather boots and a brown leather bag.
Revlon Toast of New York
Winter is the best time to bring out your deeper, moodier lip colours, so if you own a cocoa or chocolate brown lipstick, add it to your winter beauty arsenal ASAP. If you're still searching for the perfect brown though, head to the drugstore and get a tube of Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Toast of New York. This was a favourite of 90s OG supermodels, and Cindy Crawford even wore it in ads for the brand. This lipstick is a dark copper with warm red undertones and a bit of sheen, so it gives your face some life without being too overpowering. It looks best with a hint of nude blush and a subtle smokey eye, but this also works with a minimal makeup look if you prefer to use just a bit of mascara and some skin tint or tinted moisturiser during the winter.
Brown lipstick looks gorgeous with neutral outfits, so wear Toast of New York with a beige or camel coloured chunky knitted sweater and pair it with tailored jeans. You can also wear this lipstick with a beige or ivory sweater with a fine knit if you prefer to have a slimmer silhouette. Pair it with wide-leg denim trousers or a midi skirt with a side slit. Add a beige coat for warmth, plus some brown boots for a chic touch.
The best lipstick colours go oh-so-well with the most stylish pieces for winter. Try this lipstick and outfit combination ideas to look amazing during the cold months.
