After taking a backseat for nearly two years, lipsticks are making a comeback. And if you’ve missed the feeling of wearing some bright bold colour on your lips, get ready to pucker up with these limited-edition offerings with perfect pigments and shimmering finishes that are perfect for year-end gatherings.

Going in alphabetical order, there’s Burberry Beauty’s Kisses Pearl Lipstick Colour in the brand’s iconic hue 97 Oxblood (SGD52) that’s presented in sleek gold packaging and for the first time, adorned with the Thomas Burberry Monogram. The rich burgundy shade, inspired by the fashion house’s heritage, comes in a new satin finish with tone-on-tone pearls, and offers hydration and long-lasting wear for a flattering bold lip.

Also rocking the monogram is Givenchy’s Le Rouge Lipstick in 501 Copper Nude (SGD55) whose bullet is embellished with a profusion of 4G logos. The luminous matte colour with high coverage is enriched with copper shimmers to enhance lips with soft beige tones, while its formula, spiked with hyaluronic acid, will bathe lips in creamy hydration.

It’s all gold hearts and stars for Gucci Beauty’s Rouge À Lèvres Mat in 25 Goldie Red (SGD59), whose case has been given a retro makeover. A classic red hue, the creamy matte lipstick drenches lips in vibrant colour with a soft velvet finish in a single swipe, making it a glamour-girl essential for any occasion. GUCCI

Prefer something you can customise? Guerlain’s Rouge G lipsticks let you choose your shade and case separately for a creation you can truly call your own. For a golden twist this holiday, the brand has launched shade 35 Gold Brick (SGD49), an eye-catching red and gold marbled creation. GUERLAIN

Lastly, go bold and go gold with YSL Beauté’s Rouge Pur Couture in 21 Rouge Paradoxe (SGD55), a straight-up neutral-toned red with gold shimmer for a sparkling, satin pop of colour. For a magical touch of luxe, the rectangular case has also been adorned with a unique pattern of gold leaves for a dazzling addition to any makeup collection. YSL BEAUTY
