Oxblood Lips


The Oxblood lip color might be a problem for some people as it is a very daring color. Very dark and attracting the eyes immediately to your lips which means it would go best with a simple nude eye look. (Just saying)
Now, I found three lipsticks which I find perfect for the oxblood trend:

1. Nars- Vendanges ($24)

2. Yves Saint Laurent- 12' Forbidden Burgundy ($34)

3. Topshop- Beguiled ($15)
         (which I personally own and absolutely adore!)


The great thing with all these burgundy/ oxblood colored lipsticks are that you can always decide the density of the color yourself. You can either tap a little on your lips and smudge it out with your fingers to give that touch of oxblood or you can gradually build it up to a full oxblood lip which I have been enjoying a lot during nights out, and received many compliments on. Have to admit, I was a little frightened to start off with red lipstick but once i got over that fear, I do not mind oxblood at all. In fact, I enjoy oxblood lips more than red lips! And if you are still unsure about the oxblood lip, you can always go for a cheap alternative. I know that Kate Moss has recently released a new lipstick range with Rimmel London. I believe the color 107 is a great burgundy/ oxblood color which many people have been raving about, and you will not have to spend a fortune on something you are not yet comfortable with. 

Below you can see a couple more oxblood beauty products which you might enjoy exploring and using. Ranges from OPI, Estée Lauder, NARS, Sleek Makeup, Revlon, Giorgio Armani, Lancôme etc.
