Holiday season means tons of holiday parties, photo ops, and more. This means, your look must be on point (or “on fleek”). It’s one thing to have your outfit, and hair looking nice, but your makeup should also compliment your ensemble for the occasion. One way to easily spruce up your look is by adding a nice lip color. Thankfully, MUA Makeup Academy has some beautiful lip colors to help you achieve the perfect holiday lips.
A popular, yet timeless holiday lip most seen during the holidays that take place during the month of December, is a classic red lip. MUA Makeup Academy’s High Shine lipstick in ‘Poppy’ is a gorgeous red with a hint of shine. ‘Poppy’ can be turned up by pairing it with winged liner and falsies, or toned down by wearing it with a neutral face. Either way, you can’t ever go wrong with a red lip.
For those women who just can’t get into brighter lipsticks, and just want to add just a hint of glam to their look, using MUA Makeup Academy’s ‘Frosted Nude’, which, by the way, is the perfect nude for my skin tone, is the way to go. It pairs well with a neutral makeup look with a golden glow, or turn it up with a smoky eye. For added glam, you can take your holiday lips to the next step by adding ‘Frosted Nude’ to the center of your lip, and poppy on the perimeter. Thank me later for your gorgeous pout.
Lip stains are perfect for creating holiday lips. Why? Because the color doesn’t budge. If you’re attending a lot of holiday parties, gatherings, etc. you need something that doesn’t move throughout the night, especially if you’re planning on taking pics. Nice face, but nothing on the lips? No bueno! Your look will just look unfinished. This is why I like MUA Makeup Academy’s lip stain in ‘Wine’. It’s such a beautiful purple-toned lip color, and it’s brown girl-friendly.
Before creating your holiday lip, be sure to follow these tips:
1. Exfoliate with a combination of sugar, olive oil, and a hint of honey.
2. Moisturize
3. Line your lips to prevent the lip product from bleeding
4. Apply the lip color, blot, and then apply another coat.
Now you have kissable, smooth, holiday lips!
What’s your favorite lip color to use when you’re creating a holiday lip?

I like them too because you apply it and forget it.
I never would have guessed that a color called, "frosted nude" would be so pretty..and gorgeous on you. Never underestimate the power of the *perfect* nude for your skin tone, right?
