The Winter Shade Guide & How to Style Them
Whether you are running errands on a chilly morning or heading out for a winter date night, we’ve curated the perfect lip combos to keep your lips hydrated and looking effortless.
1. The "Cold Girl" Aesthetic: Pixie Strawberry
- The Vibe: A fresh, just-in-from-the-snow, soft glow.
- The Shade: A soft, light baby pink that smells like strawberries.
- How to Wear It: Pair Pixie Strawberry with a cool-toned pink or mauve lip liner. Apply the liner just to the edges of your lips and blend inward, then layer the peptide gloss right over the top. It creates a flawless, flushed look that instantly brightens up the complexion.
2. The Mulled Wine Night Out: Crimson Cherry
- The Vibe: Sultry, elegant, and perfectly dramatic for winter evenings.
- The Shade: A deep, rich, mulled-cherry tone that applies beautifully sheer.
- How to Wear It: If you love a bold berry lip but hate the cracking texture of winter lipsticks, this is your solution. Line your lips with a deep berry or plum liner, smudge it slightly with your fingertip for a bitten effect, and top it with Crimson Cherry. You get a gorgeous evening tint packed with deep nourishment.
3. The 90s Sweater Weather Lip: Woodland Cookie
- The Vibe: Cozy, nostalgic, and deeply warm.
- The Shade: A rich chocolate brown tone that smells like choc cookies.
- How to Wear It: The 90s brown lip is the ultimate winter staple. Overline your lips slightly with a deep espresso brown lip liner, then fill in the center with Woodland Cookie. It blends the liner beautifully, leaving you with a high-fashion, dimensional pout that feels like a warm hug.
4. The Glass-Lip Chameleon: Starlight Vanilla
- The Vibe: Clean-girl aesthetic, ultra-glossy, and minimalist.
- The Shade: A crystal-clear, high-shine glaze scented like sweet vanilla frosting.
- How to Wear It: Starlight Vanilla is your everyday winter essential. It can be worn entirely on its own as a deeply hydrating overnight lip mask, or layered over any lip liner in your collection to instantly transform it into a glossy, plumping masterpiece.
5. The Warm Chai Latte: Golden Caramel
- The Vibe: Golden hour warmth in the middle of June.
- The Shade: A stunning dirty-peach tone that smells like rich, burnt caramel.
- How to Wear It: To add instant warmth to your makeup look, pair Golden Caramel with a medium, warm-toned brown lip liner. The peachy undertones of the gloss cut through the brown liner perfectly, creating a soft, dimensional nude lip that pairs beautifully with oversized beige cardigans.
6. Your Lips But Juicier: Enchanted Birthday
- The Vibe: Effortless, everyday elegance.
- The Shade: A universally flattering rosey-mauve that smells like fresh birthday cake layers.
- How to Wear It: For those mornings when you only have five minutes to get ready, reach for Enchanted Birthday. Simply trace your cupid's bow and the center of your bottom lip with a "your lips but better" nude liner, then swipe this rosey-mauve peptide potion across your lips. It gives a natural flush of life while locking in hydration all day long.
