So I thought to myself, why not wear pink anyway? With fairly neutral eyes and an outfit that isn't too busy it could just be a little pop of colour to brighten up your day!
MAC Frost Lipsticks in Angel and Bombshell (£15.50 each) are two of my most loved pink shades. Angel is a baby pink (arguably slightly nude) which a lot of people are big fans of - even Kim Kardashian, supposedly. As the colour isn't too bright it's easy to get away with even in the winter and it would look gorgeous on pretty much every skin tone, in my opinion. Bombshell is slightly brighter but as I said before could be paired with neutral eyes and clothes so that you don't look too crazy! Although they're both from the Frost formula I'd say that Bombshell is slightly less creamy than Angel but I'd say that they're both pretty good in this respect. Bombshell was the first lipstick I ever bought from MAC and I think it's gorgeous and is a colour I'd highly recommend to anyone.
A cheaper alternative to MAC is L'Oreal Color Riche Lipstick in 256 Blush Fever (£6.99). This colour is a darker pink than Angel and Bombshell but is part of their Natural range (this colour is designed for those with light brunette hair) so adds subtle colour to the lips - perfect if pink is a bit out of your comfort zone this time of the year! It's slightly shimmery and is a gorgeous shade, it could definitely be used for any occasion.
So this colour may be a bit too bright for Winter but Rimmel Apocalips Lip Laquer in Apocaliptic (£6.49) is such a pretty colour - it's bright pink and slightly shiny! A little bit goes a long way so you only need a tiny amount to have a huge impact, it could be a great choice if you want to make a bold statement with your lips. One other way to wear it in the winter could be to use a very tiny amount to create an effect that is more like a lip stain so as to give a more subtle look.
I hope someone reading agrees with me about using pink lip products in the Winter, I just think it's a waste to set them aside! Coral might be a step too far in the gloomy but I'm yet to try it so who knows - maybe that'll be my next lip inspiration post!
