My Favorite Winter Lipsticks.
/I tend to wear more lipstick in the fall and winter months - I donβt know why?! My summer skin just wants to be bare while my winter skin craves more pigment. My mom has always been a lipstick lover - I recall so vividly that she always gravitated toward brick red/burgundy shades, and I always feel a sense of nostalgia for her when I put on a similar color. Isnβt that funny?
As many of you know, I have spent a lot of time over the years researching green beauty brands and here are a few that I LOVE along with different shades that work best.
My favorite βneutralβ winter lipstick is Axiology organic lipstick in βDevotionβ - itβs a peachy-copper shade with the slightest hint of shimmer, and I just love how it feels really neutral but still really put together. This looks really good if you want to wear a smokier eye and just need something simple for your lips.
My favorite pop-of-color winter lipstick is Axiology organic lip crayon in βEnduringβ. Itβs a berry/brick matte formula and I just love this color - it makes me feel like my best self even if Iβm not wearing any other makeup.
I didnβt mean for my two favorites to both be Axiology, I just have really been gravitating towards these shades because I feel like they just work for me with my skin tone. I also LOVE that this brand is completely non-toxic, cruelty-free, and comes in super flattering shades for every skin tone. I super geek out on the packaging, too (itβs SO PRETTY), which makes it all the more fun and special. Girl stuff.
My runner-up choices are the Ilia Multistick in βA Fine Romanceβ (a cranberry pink/red shade that doubles as a cheek stain!), Honeybee Gardens in βDesireβ (a subtle red, if there ever was such a thing!), and RMS Lip2Cheek stain in βIllusiveβ (I love using this on my cheeks, too!)
These lip colors make really sweet gifts for friends and family (I am gifting several of these this Christmas), but you also want to make sure you pick up 1 (or 2) for yourself!
P.S. - Great green beauty gifts for under $30 from one of my favorite non-toxic beauty retailers!
