For A Virtual Holiday Party

For An IRL Holiday Party

For A Holiday Dinner With Friends

Try this neutral-red hue for an upcoming holiday dinner with friends or family — not only does it glide on with creamy ease, it’s the perfect pink-red to enhance your natural lip shade. The best part? It’s long-wearing, so it’ll last through the entree, drinks and even dessert without transferring.

For Ice Skating

If ice skating is a longstanding holiday tradition of yours, opt for this transfer-proof formula in a true red hue next time you go. It will remain on your lips if you’re wearing a protective face mask, andwon’t smudge or budge when it’s time for a post-skating hot chocolate.

For Nighttime Holiday Lights

A deeper-hued red is perfect for nighttime holiday activities, especially if you’re heading to go see holiday lights around your neighborhood or in a city. This oxblood-hued red will do just the trick and will bring a little edge to your look.
