Best Lipsticks for winters with Makeup Artist Vinali Pal!

So, the best season of the year is here! Yes, I am talking about Winters (With a big smile 😊) It is that time of the year when your skin is in its best possible condition! All those who have oily skin can relate! (Sorry dry skin people :P) I live in Mumbai, India so it’s not very cold here but yes, pleasant most of the times and I love it! Since December has arrived already and the party season is about to begin with Christmas and New Year just around the corner, it is a great time to talk about best lipsticks in winters and some beauty hacks! Needless to say, lipsticks can instantly glam up your look within no time and make you party ready!

So, I collaborated with my friend Vinali Pal who is a professional makeup artist to bring you the best shades for winters! Winters are mostly about vampy and bold shades but since most of us are not comfortable carrying it, we can always look for alternatives that are best at this time. The list below is an amalgamation of both nude and bold shades.

Chambor Extreme Wear Transferproof Liquid Lipstick: Shade 484

Chocolate Brown Shade with a slight hint of pink. It is a perfect everyday shade that can be worn to college, casual outings and office as well. It is best for people like me who are not very comfortable carrying darker vampy shades.
Transfer proof, Smudge-proof, Opaque, Matte finish
Feels comfortable on the lips and stays long for around 4 hrs.
The only drawback is that after applying, it takes around 3-5 minutes to dry. Not that pocket-friendly, decent amount of product but really good quality.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream: Transylvania

Dark Brinjal Purple Color. It looks really vampy, fierce and bold.
Definitely not apt for offices or any formal event. It is an ultimate party lip shade for those, who want rock that bold look.
Does transfer although a very negligible amount. It lasts longer for around 3 to 4 hours minimum.
Liquid Cream Lipstick, while applying it’s creamy but after a minute it sits matte, feels like nothing on the lips.
The only major drawback of this shade is that it’s streaky and patchy, so it takes around 4 to 5 strokes to build the color. Things can work better when applied with the lip liner.
It’s buildable enough for those who want to have dark lips but not too vampy. Otherwise, the overall NYX SMLC range is amazing and not streaky.
Pretty good amount of product, average quality but pocket-friendly. It is INR 600 for 8 ml of product.

PAC Retro Matte Gloss: Corrupt

Super Dark Burgundy Brown Shade. Again, it is vampy, fierce and bold.
It is a bold yet beautiful colour for the party season.
Pretty good amount of product, average quality but pocket-friendly. It is INR 550 for 8 ml of product.

Pro tips:

Use lip balm or lip moisturizer before applying any liquid lipstick otherwise your lips will tend to dry.
Dab off the excess in a tissue and then apply the shade appropriately enhancing the shape of your lips.
Always make it a point to remove your lipstick with help of makeup remover before going to bed. The best homemade makeup remover is warm coconut oil which most of us usually have in our homes.
