Nothing says Christmas quite like a red-lip moment. It doesn’t matter if you’re a clear lip gloss person for the rest of the year, the festive season is the best time to experiment with something bolder.

As a lipstick obsessive, it’s the time when my lip collection really shines. Just like an advent calendar, there’s a different red lipstick for every day throughout December and, of course, I save the best for Christmas Day. Not only does it have to look good, but it also has to stay put throughout the Christmas lunch feast and many sips of red wine. Finding the perfect balance of feeling comfortable, durable and wearable is often tricky. However, this year I’ve cracked it.

You may have come across Dior’s Rouge Dior Forever Sequin Liquid Lipstick going viral on social media for its twinkly sparkle effect as soon as you rub your lips together, and I’m here to tell you it’s worth the hype.
