It may be Christmas Eve but in case your holiday ensemble is missing a festive element, there’s still time to get out there and complete it with a red lip.

What I love about a red lip is that there are so many shades available that will work with your skin tone and your outfit. If you thought that red lipstick wasn’t for you — think again!
