One of the most seasonally affected portions of beauty is lip color. Because let’s face it, watermelon pink lips look somewhat odd outside of summer and dark lips look strange outside of the darker months, unless you’re going for a statement trend. With winter upon us, you might be wondering what you can try with your lip colors. Below are some of the top 2016 winter lip color trends.
Black-red
Winter is always the time to revel in the sultry dark shades. So a red that is so dark it has tinges of black is a wintertime favorite. Try: Tish & Snooky’s MANIC PANIC N.Y.C. Creamtone Black Rose Lethal Lipstick
Deep wine
This is a reddish-purple shade that looks stunning in winter. Try: NARS Audacious Lipstick, Ingrid (merlot)
Dark chocolate
If you’re looking for something of a nude lip, a deep brown might be the way to go. It’s dark enough for winter. Try: Fullkang Waterproof Matte Liquid Long Lasting Lip Gloss Lipstick 34 Colors (Brown 26)
Deepest purple

Another look that has some color to it is a dark purple. Try: Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick #1005 Midnight Plum
Champagne
One option is to go with a frosty shade to match the wintery blast outside. You’ll want to look for cool and bright tones, like champagne. Try: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick Pearl, Champagne On Ice 205
Metallic deep red
Dark red is a winter favorite, but a metallic shade can give the look a customized twist. Try: Mary Kay Creme Lipstick–Bronzed
Black
Usually associated with 90s grunge, this color is actually making a comeback. Pair it with a bold statement look to make an impact this winter. Try: L.A. Colors Moisture Lipstick 136 Black Velvet
Deep berry
You don’t have to shun all color in winter. You can still get away with a deeper, darker berry shade. Try: Burt’s Bees 100% Natural Moisturizing Lipstick, Brimming Berry
Bright purple

This is one of those rare colors that works for every season. It’s just a bright, all-purpose color. Though you’ll want to aim for the deeper end of purple, rather than the pastel end, or you’ll end up with a spring look. Try: KA’OIR By Keyshia KAOIR “Racquel” Bright Purple Lipstick
Deep cinnamon
Normally a fall shade, this is one of those colors that you can wear into winter, as well. Its deep color fits the season. Perfect if you have a tube of the stuff to use up from fall. Try: L’Oreal Colour Riche Lipcolour, Cinnamon Toast
Slight nude
A muted pink that verges on nude is all the rage. This shade has the sweet tones of pink, but in a more muted tone range so it’s not too bold for winter. Try: e.l.f. Luscious Liquid Lipstick, Nude Pink
