Merry Christmas Eve!! ❤️ I have been obsessed with the matte lipsticks from Maybelline ever since they came out a few months ago. While the collection is full of fabulous shades, Divine Wine is my favorite, especially this time of year. The best part about these lippies (besides the price point) is how creamy they are. Unlike other matte lipsticks that tend to leave my lips looking crapey, with Maybelline's soft matte lipsticks I never felt like I needed to apply an emergency dose of lip balm throughout the day! Personally, I am not a huge fan of red lips, which is why I chose to go with this richer cranberry shade vs a classic red.
I wanted this look to be glam and sexy, with subtle pops of glitter to add that festive feel. Gold is a favorite of mine not only for the warmth it brings to skin when wearing bolder lips, but how it perfectly compliments red tones as well. Like I said before, a darker lip is more me; but feel free to rock any shade of red to make this festive look completely yours!
