Metallic lipsticks you can (and should!) wear every day
We’re not entirely sure when or how it happened, but somewhere along the way, glitter, sequins, and metallics got assigned almost exclusively to the holiday season. Let us guess: you have a sequinned dress/skirt/shirt tucked away in your closet that you’re excited to wear to a holiday party this winter?
The same goes for our makeup—when was the last time you saw someone wearing a glittery, metallic lipstick at the grocery store? This year, we encourage you to put an end to the holiday-exclusive metallic lipstick cycle and wear a metallic lippie for your next trip to the laundromat, car wash, and yes, even the grocery store.
Not feeling ready to swap your sheer lip balms for metallic lipsticks just yet? For now, browse and shop some of our favorite picks and wear them over the holiday season—or any other special occasion.
