Perfect Winter Lipstick Picks

So December is here, and its officially the time we can all get excited for Christmas!  With the arrival of the Autumn/Winter seasons, comes a multitude of deep, dark and vampy colours and what better way to embrace these than in the form of lipstick.  I think that any red, pink, berry or wine coloured lipsticks add the perfect festive and seasonal touch to your makeup look, so here are my perfect winter lipstick picks!

From L-R: MAC Rebel, Rimmel Kate Moss 107, Bobbi Brown Raspberry Shimmer, MAC Mehr, Nyx Sweet Tart, Stila Beso.

MAC Rebel, £15.50

An all-time winter favourite of mine, of course, has to be MAC Rebel lipstick, is there anyone out there that doesn't love this lipstick?!  I have to say, this lipstick does look terrifyingly purple on first glance, however when applied it's a perfect berry shade for all skin tones.  Rebel comes in a satin finish with a semi-matte formula, however it glides onto your lips effortlessly and keeps your lips so hydrated during these cold winter months, you wouldn't think this lipstick was matte at all! 

Rimmel Kate Moss 107, £5.49

The Rimmel Lasting Finish Matte lipstick in 107 is a deep wine shade with cool undertones, this is a lovely rich red colour for paler complexions.  At £5.49 this is one of the most budget friendly lipsticks from my little winter lipstick collection and the quality is definitely up there with the higher end brands!  The lipstick is incredibly pigmented; you really don’t need more than a swipe to achieve an opaque colour payoff.

Bobbi Brown Lip Color Raspberry Shimmer, £19.50

I was lucky enough to receive this little beauty as a gift after attending a Bobbi Brown Masterclass. Now I'm not usually a fan of lipsticks with a shimmery finish, however this Bobbi Brown lipstick is an exception, it's totally gorgeous!  A bright berry pink with a high-shine finish, this shade has a unique blend of pearls which deliver a luminous, light-reflecting look to the lips.

MAC Mehr, £15.50

I think this might just be my favourite pink lipstick of all time!  A little different from all the other previous shades, Mehr is described as a 'dirty blue pink', although the blue tones are very subtle.  This is just the perfect lighter pink shade for Autumn/ Winter, especially to create that famous Kylie Jenner lip look.  This shade comes in a matte finish but with a soft and creamy texture, you have to try this!

Nyx Butter Lipstick in Sweet Tart, £3.47

The most affordable lipstick out of the bunch, this lipstick is perfect if you're on a budget.  Sweet Tart is a lovely deep pink shade, it is a sheer lipstick but with some serious pigmentation, reminding me more of a balm than a lipstick because of its moisturising qualities! It really does melt into the lips.  The only downside to this lipstick is the wear time, I only got about an hour out of this lipstick before I had to apply the shade again, but for £3.47, I'm sure this is something we can overlook.  

Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Beso, £15

Last but not least, is the perfect red lipstick for the festive season.  Beso is a true red, and this creamy, full-coverage lip colour provides 6 hours of continuous wear.  Believe me when I say it doesn't budge! It's packed full of vitamin E and avocado oil, so it doesn't dry the lips like some other liquid lipsticks.  Stila have created one of the best liquid lipsticks out there.

What are your favourite autumn/winter lipsticks?

Lots of love,
