Oenophiles rejoice, August 28 is National Red Wine Day! Let's raise a glass — of Cab, Pinot, Zinfandel, Malbec — or whatever wine tickles your fancy. Like other fermented products, wine is chock-full of heart-healthy antioxidants (in moderation of course) as well as resveratrol, a polyphenol found in the grape skins that helps protect the fruit from illness or injury. Resveratrol (when ingested) can lower blood pressure as well as help to lower one's risk of developing heart disease or cancer — it has an anti-aging and anti-pollution effect when used topically in skincare. (Like we needed another excuse to enjoy a glass of wine!)
Not only should you drink your red wine or utilize it in your skin care routine, there are a bunch of wine-hued beauty products to help kick off your celebration. Read on for some of our favorite picks to help you don the best red wine-infused, -colored, and -themed products from head to toe. So relax, make yourself a charcuterie board, pour a glass and start perusing some of the grapey goodness in advance of this joyous holiday. Salud!
The latest eyeshadow palette from Maybelline is soda-themed and has a handful of grape and berry hues. We love the mix of warm and cool tones, plus a bunch of neutrals (in both matte and shimmer) that give you tons of options for creating new looks.
Create a beautiful, blotted, red wine-hued pout with the latest from Buxom. The soft, felt-tipped applicator dispenses just the right amount of product to give you that smudgy, just-had-a-glass-of-zin stain in a comfortable soft matte finish.
Create a bold, shimmery, jewel-toned eye with the new shades in Stila's Shimmer & Glow collection. We love garnet, the glimmery red hue that's perfect for creating a vampy, colored smoky eye or gorgeous wine-hued wing. The cream formula means no fallout and it stays put all night long, even without primer.
Love wine and want to shout it from the rooftops? Try this adorable soft-knit tee with 3/4 sleeves and a tie front. The white font on pastel blue fabric is casual, chic and perfect for brunch or a day of wine tasting.
