I don’t know about you, but when it comes to festive winter dressing… I’m often at a loss. And, no winter festivity is harder to dress for than New Year’s Eve, am I right? Unlike a casual holiday cocktail party, NYE is a night where you’re expected to go all-out with your wardrobe—even if the temperatures outside make you want to stay on the couch, draped in a Snuggie. What’s a fun-loving, stylish, yet cold woman to do?
Well, friends, I have the answer: lipstick. A serious lipstick is the item that will allow you to wear your cozy comfortable clothes while also looking drop-dead gorgeous and ready to party. But, New Year’s isn’t the time for you to slap on your everyday lipstick and call it good. This is a long evening, and hence you need to pull out the big guns—so, I’ve rounded up some of the best long-wearing lipsticks out there that will take you from dinner to cocktails to dancing the night away in style. Pick your shade, slap it on, and party like it’s 2017—cheers!
