When it comes to Valentine’s Day, it seems pretty excusable that you reach for the same ol’ tube of red lipstick each year when it’s time to head out the door for dinner/drinks/whatever. It’s reliable, we’ll give you that. But after a while, as all things do, it gets stale.
So whether you thought purple was too bold for you to even consider, or you assumed pink was to be saved for warmer weather, we’re about to prove you wrong. We’ve rounded up eight lip colours, and tons of celebs showing you how to pull off the shades, that you should wear on the most romantic holiday of the year. And none of them are red.
