If there’s one makeup product that can help you look put-together in a matter of seconds, it’s red lipstick. From bright scarlet to sexy crimson, it’s a timeless way to add a festive element to any look for the upcoming holiday season and beyond.

On the hunt for a power pout? Here are six new and ultra-flattering red lippies that will work some classic holiday magic.

01 – First up, you can’t go wrong with Christian Louboutin Beauty’s Rouge Louboutin Velvet Matte Lip Colour lipsticks. As smooth as leather and as matte as suede, they promise to dress your pout in intense velvet colour. For an opulent scarlet with a soft-touch feel and non-drying comfort, try the shade Epic Brunette (SGD142) that will turn up the heat.

Each intricate gold-tone lipstick case from this Fall collection is also a work of art. Taking inspiration from Middle Eastern antiquities and the Art Deco movement, it’s a luxurious addition to any vanity. CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN

02 – Next, experience a touch of old-Hollywood glamour with Givenchy Beauty’s Le Rouge Interdit Intense Silk Lipstick in N326 Rouge Audacieux (SGD58). It drenches lips in vibrant, buildable colour in a silky, semi-matte finish for up to 12 hours of comfortable wear.

Because of its blend of hydrating ingredients, the mega-pigmented formula doesn’t flake, crack or sap lips of moisture. It also comes in a refillable leather case. GIVENCHY BEAUTY

03 – Looking to experiment with red lips? Laura Mercier’s Petal Soft Lipstick Crayon (SGD45) in 380 Sienna lets you do so without ever feeling self-conscious. The buildable, sheer red lip colour is easy to wear and gives an effortless diffused finish for a blurred effect.

Infused with ultra-moisturising raspberry seed oil and mango butter, it offers 12 hours of weightless wear and up to 24 hours of lip-softening hydration for beautiful petal-soft lips. LAURA MERCIER

04 – M.A.C fans who love Powder Kiss for its creamy, cushiony texture are in luck. With the new Powder Kiss Velvet Blur Slim Stick (SGD46), there’s twice as much to love. It packs an extra level of coverage for an even stronger punch of plush pigment.

Not only does the double-duty formula present a soft-matte finish, its modern formula is also lightweight and ultra-hydrating. If you’re looking to turn every head in the room, check out the bright, orange-red Devoted To Danger. M.A.C COSMETICS

05 – As its name suggests, Nars’ Powermatte Lipstick (SGD46) is a high-intensity matte formula with bold colour. The transfer-resistant lippie, which lasts for 10 hours, also boasts a dynamic blend of pure pigment and colour-locking ingredients.

Saturate lips in vivid colour that will last from pre-dinner drinks to the last dance in a single swipe. For an eye-catching siren red, consider shade 132 Dragon Girl that looks amazing on every skin tone. NARS COSMETICS

06 – Tom Ford Beauty’s charming White Suede fragrance makes a dramatic return with a new colour story. This time, in the form of a limited-edition makeup collection. Specifically, its Lip Colour Satin Matte (SGD84) that now comes dressed in an exclusive ultra-luxe ivory tube.

Brimming with lip care ingredients such as soja seed extract, murumuru butter and chamomile flower oil, this provides eight hours of full-coverage. Shameless, a deep burgundy shade with a satin-matte finish, instantly brings a fullness to the lips. TOM FORD BEAUTY
