Top Lipstick Picks for Holiday makeup looks – Perfect Holiday Lips 2024
Here’s a curated list of my top picks for Perfect Holiday Lips 2024.
Bold Reds and Maroon Lipsticks for a Classic Holiday Vibe
Nothing says festive quite like a classic red lip. Bold, timeless, and effortlessly glamorous, red lipsticks are a must-have for Christmas and New Year’s looks. And let’s not forget maroon—it’s the perfect partner to red, adding depth and sophistication to your holiday glam. Together, they’re the ultimate duo for turning heads this festive season! 💋✨
MAC Ruby Woo: The Ultimate Holiday Lipstick
How can we talk about holiday lipsticks without mentioning MAC Ruby Woo? It’s a cult favorite, the universal sweetheart of lipsticks, and quite literally the Tom Cruise of red lipsticks—iconic, timeless, and swoon-worthy! 💋✨ Girls everywhere, left, right, and center, fall head over heels for this beauty.
One of the best things about Ruby Woo is its versatility—it suits every skin tone, thanks to its blue undertones (or maybe some kind of makeup magic sprinkled into its formulation). This lipstick is pure perfection, and let me tell you, it’s my absolute favorite. And coming from a self-confessed lipstick addict, that’s saying a lot!
So, if you don’t have MAC Ruby Woo in your collection yet, trust your gal’s advice: go grab it, like, right now. You’ll thank me later! 😉
Manna Kadar Pinot Noir: The Mysterious Holiday Must-Have
Coming in at number two is a true enigma—a lipstick (or lip stain, to be exact) that prefers to keep things shrouded in mystery. Manna Kadar Pinot Noir is a rich berry shade that practically screams holiday sophistication. And the best part? It looks absolutely stunning on every skin tone.
The moment I swipe it on, I’m instantly transported to a cozy holiday scene: me in a white sweater dress, maroon nails, soft glittery eyes, and sitting by a crackling fireplace. Wow – a holiday dream? ✨
Because it’s a lip stain, as it fades, it takes on an ethereal, bee-stung effect that’s so effortlessly gorgeous. It’s a shade that transcends age, making it perfect for everyone. If you love a glossy finish that’s both chic and timeless, Manna Kadar Pinot Noir is the one for you! That’s why it holds a well-deserved spot on my Perfect Holiday Lips 2024 list. 💋
Pat McGrath Guinevere: The Luxe Red You Need
Next up, we have Pat McGrath Guinevere, a luxurious burgundy shade. As a fan of Pat McGrath (the queen of makeup herself), I can confidently say this lipstick is nothing short of a masterpiece. 💋✨
The rich, opulent color of Guinevere makes it a perfect match for fairer/medium skin tones, where it really pops. Its deep, velvety red adds a touch of sophistication to any look and will will have you feeling like royalty on those glamorous holiday dinner or a chic soirée
Holiday Lipsticks Beyond Red: Perfect Holiday Lips 2024
Not into reds? No worries! There are plenty of other gorgeous, intense holiday shades that are just as stunning.
Urban Decay Hollyweird
If you’re all about a pop of color, Hollyweird is a vibrant pink shade.This creamy formula, packed with aloe vera and avocado oil, is super nourishing and glides on effortlessly. I love how this girly, fun color instantly puts you in the holiday mood—perfect for those who want something playful and bold.
L’Oréal 348 Brick Vintage
For a more unique, cozy holiday vibe, Brick Vintage is a chestnut brownish-rust shade that’s perfect for adding warmth to the cold season. While it’s a classic fall color, it’s versatile enough to wear through the holidays and beyond. If you’re craving something a little different this season, this is the perfect alternative to the usual reds.💄✨
Holiday Lipstick Mac
When it comes to long-lasting formulas and high-quality lipsticks, MAC is the brand to turn to. This season, MAC has launched a stunning holiday collection, including shimmering lipsticks, but honestly, the classic, all-time favorite MAC shades are essential for keeping your lips flawless through all the holiday festivities 💋✨
MAC All Fired Up: One of my personal favorites from MAC is All Fired Up—a bright, bold fuchsia matte that stays put for hours. While the brand has made it creamier in recent versions, if you can get your hands on the matte version, it’s absolute perfection! The striking fuchsia works especially well with silver, white, and black tones, making it the ideal choice for holiday parties where you want to stand out. It’s a shade that screams confidence and elegance.
MAC Antique Velvet: For those who love a bit of drama, Antique Velvet is a deep brown nude with a gothic twist. This intense, rebellious shade adds a hint of mystery and drama to your holiday look, especially if you want to stir the pot with relatives who aren’t fans of gothic makeup or if you’re aiming to appear extra chic and confident. Seriously, it’s a total confidence booster! If you’re looking for something that makes a bold statement while still being wearable, this is the perfect balance of edgy and chic.
