The best two times to wear red lipstick is when you need a boost of confidence and anytime during the holidays. There's something about a white Christmas (or Hanukkah) and red lips that is timeless, so we came up with so of the best red lipstick pairings for any holiday event.

So, grab your favorite shimmery dress, a comfy pair of dancing heels (do they even exist?) and classic red lipstick for a festive party look. To create this holiday party lip look with a clean beauty product, the best red lipstick to use is Gwen Triple Luxe Lipstick. First, line and fill your lips with Crimson Lip Pencil - this will make your entire look last through multiple glasses of the bubbly. Then, swipe on Gwen Triple Luxe Lipstick and add a little glossy pizzazz with Kir Royale PureGloss Lip Gloss to the center of your bottom lip. This is a pro tip to help make your lips look fuller.

If you have a romantic holiday date during the holidays, we recommend trying out a more sultry red lipstick look. This look is great whether you're wearing a cozy sweater and jeans or a sexy dress. The point is, it draws attention to your beautiful lips and hopefully, you'll get a little smooch at the end of the night! Our favorite red lipstick to wear on date night is Megan Triple Luxe Lipstick. To get the above look, first, line and fill your lips with Peach Lip Pencil. Next, apply Megan Triple Luxe Lipstick - we can't get enough of the deep berry shade. Finally, pop a little Soft Peach PureGloss Lip Gloss to the center of your bottom lip.

The Best Everyday Red Lipstick Look

Wearing red lipstick every day may seem a little over the top, but we promise, red can be a daily look if you do it right. The key to creating a soft, red lipstick look is swapping your lipstick for a self-adjusting lip stain. That's right, grab your Forever Red Just Kissed Lip and Cheek Stain, and get ready to wear red all season long! Create our everyday red lip look with these three steps. First, line and fill your lips with Terra Cotta Lip Pencil. Swipe Forever Red Just Kissed Lip and Cheek Stain on top of that. And finally, dab Snow Berry PureGloss Lip Gloss to the center of your bottom lip.
