The best thing to determine first is the type of lip product do you want to use. Do you want lipstick, lipgloss, chapstick, lip balm, lip stains, etc. There's so many different types to choose from.
The obvious first pick would be lipstick. Lipstick is traditional and timeless. But when it comes to lipstick you normally have a choice between satin and matte. Satin lipstick makes your lips glossy and shiny because most have a moisturizer inside. The one bad thing about a satin lipstick is the constant reapplication because it is not long lasting. However matte lipstick is long lasting but it does not moisturize your lips.
But if lipstick isn't your thing, try a lip stain. Lip stains are great because they're like a combination of lipstick and lip gloss. They have the same brightness as a lipstick but apply like a gloss. They're easy and quick to apply. They give your lips some color without lots of effort or blending.
If you don't want such a bright bold product then a tinted lip gloss or tinted lip balm may be for you. They're both simple products and are great for beginners when it comes to makeup or whenever you feel like being lazy when it comes to your makeup. Gloss can add a nice natural pop of color and shine to your lips. The only downside to gloss is that it can be really sticky. While balm moisturizes and adds some color to your lips. The only downside it that the color isn't always too bright, but better if you want to be subtle.
Now let's take a look at all the different kinds of red shades there are to choose from. There are many different shades when it comes to the reds. But here are just some generic color options. Because you know it would pretty much be impossible to list every single shade of red lipstick.
Dark Red. A color similar to red wine but sometimes wine just isn't dark enough. But sometimes dark red can be hard to pull off. Since it is so dark, some us wonder if we look too much like a vampire or witch. But if you own your darkness and are bold enough to pull off such a dark color why not! If not, I say stick with the wine.
Bright Red. This is the most basic red and most popular red to use during the holiday season. A bright red is a basic red and it is probably the best red to try out first. It's a good practice red for beginners, especially if you want to graduate to the darker reds. The bright red is perfect beginner color to wear at a special occasion.
Ruby Red. The ruby red is my favorite red. You would think ruby red would be really dark red or bright. But what I noticed is that most ruby reds have a pinkish tint to them. So for us girls who love pink lipstick, the ruby red was made specifically for us. The red and pink tint of the ruby red screams fun and flirty rather than bold and elegant. The ruby red is perfect for more intimate and casual gatherings.
Red Orange. Red orange lipstick is a fun shade to wear but it can be hard to pull off since it is such a bold color. But if you want to stand out and are the most confident girl in the room red orange may be the color for you, because you know everyone else will be wearing dark red or wine. So stand out and be loud and proud with your red orange lipstick.
So there you have it, a quick little guide to find the perfect holiday red for your lips this season. Personally, I haven't decided which red to go with yet. Which is your holiday red lip product go to? Let me know below, until tomorrow.
