Brace yourself, beauty lovers: winter is coming, and it’s time to up your makeup game! As the days get shorter and the nights get colder, there’s no better way to heat things up than with a sizzling lip and lash combo.
Picture this: a head-turning lipstick shade that makes a statement bolder than your ex’s new haircut, paired with false lashes so lush and fluttery, they practically create their own breeze. It’s the ultimate power couple, the beauty equivalent of a double shot of espresso – and here are the secrets on the hottest lip and lash duos of the season, from subtle to statement-making.
1. Dazzling in Dior
The limited edition Dior Rouge Forever Liquid Sequin in shade 323 “Dazzle,” is the epitome of holiday glam. This shimmering lippie will light up your look at any festive fête.
Pair it with the understated elegance of KISS Silver Ring lashes. Winner of InStyle’s 2024 Red Carpet Beauty Award for “Best False Eyelashes,” these beauties provide the perfect landing pad for any errant snowflake.
2. 90s Nostalgia Done Right
TikTok has spoken: 90s icon—Clinique’s Black Honey— is back and better than ever. The ultimate your-lips-but-better shade, the sheer, buildable color adds a touch of low-key drama.
Complement the look with KISS High Bun lashes from their New Natural line. The sparsely distributed lash patterns add soft definition to match Black Honey’s effortless vibe.
3. The Classic Holiday Red Lip
For a classic December-is-here crimson lip, look no further than Lisa Eldridge’s True Velvet Lipstick in Velvet Ribbon. While a red lip requires some upkeep, the impact is undeniable.
Balance the drama (and the upkeep) with the fuss-free, no-glue imPRESS Voluminous Lashes for fluttery volume that lasts all day.
4. Vamp It Up
Channel your most glamorous self with Pat McGrath’s MatteTrance Lipstick in the shade McMenamy – a perpetually sold-out deep burgundy that’s the stuff of makeup dreams.
Pair it with KISS Lash Couture Russian Volume falsies for a look that’s equal parts drama and wearability. Think: old Hollywood starlet meets modern-day siren.
5. Pretty in Pink (But Make It Winter)
Who says pink is just for spring? Described as a “blushy nude,” Ja Rêve by Westman Atelier is pink with a winter-ready depth.
For a complementary your-lashes-but-better effect, try KISS All Mine falsies. This combo is pretty, polished, and perfect for any winter occasion.
6. Go For Gold
Who says high fashion has to break the bank? Elevate your beauty narrative with Ivy Beauty’s Gold Lipstick, a striking metallic hue that commands attention.
Paired with Bottom Lash Wisps, the look evokes an editorial, avant-garde aesthetic reminiscent of Twiggy’s iconic style.
7. Ice, Ice Baby
While ISAMAYA’s LIPLACQ in METAL is described as a ‘juicy peach sheen with hints of antique gold,’ it reads more metallic with the cool allure of silver—truly the best of both worlds.
Pair it with KISS Pearl Earring lashes, the understated winners of InStyle’s 2024 Red Carpet Beauty Award, for a look that exudes holiday sparkle with an unapologetic edge.
8. Clean Girl Winter
Merit’s Slip is THE warm neutral for nailing that clean girl aesthetic. Pair it with the fresh, fluttery perfection of KISS White Shirt lashes and you’re #wokeuplikethis goals.
9. Richer Than Hot Cocoa
Chocolate Luster is the rich girl brown we can’t get enough of. Revlon’s viral shade delivers a decadent finish that’s simply irresistible.
Pair it with the preppy-meets-glam allure of KISS Legacy lashes for a look that’s all kinds of delicious.
10. Candy Cane Kisses
Leave it to Rihanna to deliver the ultimate holiday gloss. Fenty’s Gloss Bomb Swirl Twisted Lip Luminizer dazzles with its candy cane-inspired swirl in the tube, but applies as a sheer, luminous sheen perfect for the season.
Pair it with KISS Ever EZ lashes in Style 3 for a delicate, natural-looking flutter. It’s the effortless combo that’ll have everyone wondering how you look so good with “no makeup.”
There you have it – your winter lip and lash cheat sheet. Whether you’re feeling frosty, festive, or just plain fabulous, these pairings have got you covered. Now go forth and dazzle.
