Take a look at this list and find out what shades you’d like to get for winter. Of course, you can wear these colors (along with your winter coats) all year round but for now, I am all about getting the perfect winter lipstick shades for myself. I hope you find one for you too.

1. Toffee | Molasses by Bite Beauty

A bit on the brown side with its rich toffee color, this highly pigmented lipstick is perfect to add a touch of bold color to welcome winter.

This beautiful shade by Bite Beauty is a rich toffee color that’s a little bit on the brown side, but this highly pigmented lipstick will add a touch of bold color to your look to usher in the start of winter. This lipstick shade is beautiful and you should get your hands on it.

2. Dark Berry | Ox Blood by Burberry

With its beautiful shade of berry, this lipstick is perfect for those who prefer to wear more muted colors.

Burberry’s Ox Blood is such a beautiful shade of berry that tends to be on the mauve, rose spectrum. It’s beautiful and can easily pair up with any of your cute holiday outfits. If you love wearing more muted colors and ready to take your look into the winter trend, then this is one of the go-to dark lipstick shades for you.

3. Rich Blackberry | Ingrid by NARS

This ranks high on our list of the best dark-colored shades this season. Its berry shade is perfect to complete a dramatic or sexy holiday look.

I love this dark-colored lipstick and I love the NARS Audacious line. I can see this as my go-to shade for the winter, it’s moisturizing and it packs in a lot of colors in just one swipe, plus who would say no to this gorgeous berry, even Santa would be pleased. You don’t have to wait for the gift giving to get this because you can find it online too.  Definitely my favorite among the winter lipstick shades.

4. Dark Cherry | Black Cherry by SmashBox

If you want to try a darker shade, this lipstick is perfect for you. It features a dark shade but has a slight sheen to make your lips appear fuller and healthier.

This cherry shade from Smashbox is a hit to anyone who is not so keen on going dark but is willing to give it a shot. There is a sheen to this dark lipstick for winter but it does not appear to be metallic, just a small amount that reflects light to make your lips look healthier and fuller.

5. Red Orange | Wild Ginger by Tom Ford

With its reddish orange hue, this bright shade is a welcome surprise for this season. Complete your holiday glam look with this unexpected lipstick color.

This red-orange color from Tom Ford is a beautiful addition to your collection, winter or not. It’s one the bright winter lipstick colors that’s bold and unexpected, especially for the cooler season. I’d love to see someone wear this for their holiday glam look.

6. Dusty Rose | Baewatch by Colourpop

With its rosey mauve color, we predict that this will be one of the go-to shades this season since it looks great on anyone.

First of all, I’d like to say that Coloupop did a great job on naming this shade and secondly, that this is such a beautiful rosy mauve color for anyone. It’s considered as one the pink lipstick shades for winter but I can see myself wearing this while hanging out with friends celebrating the beautiful sights of winter.

7. Navy Blue | Visionary Matte by Dior

Looking for something beyond the usual pink and red shades? Try this navy blue-hued lipstick that’ll certainly make a statement.

Christian Dior is such a visionary in his own right and I’m sure he is proud of this lip shade right here, definitely right up to the haute couture alley of dark winter lipsticks. This beautiful navy blue color is as deep as it gets it almost looks black from the bullet. Get your Avante Garde inspiration on by getting this winter lipstick shade.

Here’s a darker shade of lipstick that’s fierce and bold.
