That said, it seems like everyone puts on their boldest shade around the holidays to celebrate the season.
The number of red variants on the makeup market is ever-expanding, from deep, grape-y shades to those with warm orange undertones.
Nevertheless, there’s a classy red to compliment every skin tone and occasion, which only adds to the appeal of sporting a different hue for each one of your holiday gatherings.
Have plans to enjoy some drinks with your friend bubble after Christmas dinner? Swipe on a merlot-coloured lipstick for an effortlessly wine-stained look that takes things from day to night in a snap.
Want something hydrating and complexion-boosting to wear while family members snap pictures of you unwrapping presents on Boxing Day? Gloss-up with a wash of colour that coats your lips in a succulent blood red tinge.
Whether or not you choose to ride out a traditional holly-inspired shade this Christmas, the right lipstick is enough to help you conquer the world (or the holiday rush), as the old saying goes.
