The holidays require that you inject an element of je ne sais quoi into your closet to match the upbeat atmosphere of the celebrations.

Check out how to apply vinyl lipstick to perfection…
The high shine of vinyl lipstick means that it’s easy to be too much with this. To avoid that, here’s the best way to apply this lippie:
- Prepare your lips: Make sure your lips are clean and moisturized. You can use a lip scrub to remove any dry or flaky skin for a smooth canvas.
- Apply lip balm: Put on a thin layer of lip balm to keep your lips hydrated. This step helps the vinyl lipstick glide smoothly and prevents it from settling into any lines.
- Outline with lip liner: If you like, you can use a lip liner to outline your lips. This gives definition and helps prevent your lipstick from feathering.
- Choose your vinyl lip color: Pick your favorite vinyl lip color. Whether it’s a bold red, a deep plum, or a neutral shade, go with what suits your festive vibe.
- Apply the lipstick: Use the applicator that comes with the product to apply. Take a small amount of product, begin at your cupid’s bow, and follow your natural lip line to the corners. Repeat on the bottom lip and fill in the center. Using the same process, reapply if you need more shine.
- Clean up edges: If you’ve gone outside the lines, use a cotton swab with a bit of makeup remover to clean up the edges for a polished finish.

The following are some of the best practices to keep in mind when opting for vinyl lipstick:
Use subtle eyes: Since vinyl lipstick draws attention to your pout, consider keeping your eye makeup relatively understated. Neutral eyeshadows or a light shimmer can complement the high-shine effect without being overpowering.
Consider defined brows: Well-defined eyebrows frame your face and add structure. Use an eyebrow pencil or powder to shape your brows, enhancing your facial features.
Leverage soft blush: Don’t forget to add blush to the apples of your cheeks. A soft, rosy hue can provide a healthy glow without competing with the vibrant shine of your vinyl lipstick.
Use a highlighter: Enhance the luminous effect of vinyl lips by applying a subtle highlighter to the high points of your face – like the tops of your cheekbones and the bridge of your nose.
Aim for subdued eyeliner: If you opt for eyeliner, consider a more subdued look. A thin line along your lash line or a subtle wing can add definition without overshadowing your glossy lips.
Don’t forget mascara: Apply a coat or two of mascara to your eyelashes. It helps lengthen and define your lashes, which can further enhance your polished appearance.
The goal is to strike a balance between all elements of your makeup look, allowing your vinyl lipstick to take center stage while still enhancing your facial features.
