14 Stunning Spring Lip Colors You Must Try This Season
Shades you gotta try before summa time.
You endured a long winter of being cold, sad, and snowed in. Those weather conditions called for some moody times, and you probably relied on vampy lip shades like bordeaux and rich reds to pull you through. Now that spring is here, it's time to brighten things up a bit with color. Switch out those dark shades and dare to wear lighter hues on your lips, like a vivid coral or a pale pink to match all the magic that's blooming outside. Even if allergy season is getting the best of you right now, you can hide your serious sniffles with a popping lip color. Ahead, find 14 lip shades you need to get your hands on this season.
Orangey Red
Bobbi Brown X Ulla Johnson Crushed Lip Color in Lou Lou, $29
When bright orange and red tones collide, it creates a beautiful color story, reminiscent of a spring sunset. This leaves a bold wash of color on your lips. The texture feels like a balm—because of its blend of vitamin C, E, and beeswax—and has a satin-matte finish.
Flashy Coral
Becca Ultimate Lipstick Love in Poppy, $24
The onset of spring means you can't shy away from striking shades like this bright coral. What's even better is that your lips will never get dry or chapped because this formula features hyaluronic acid, which will keep your skin moisturized to the max.
Soft Coral Pink
PÜR Out of the Blue Lip Gloss in Dream, $18
This silky (not sticky) formula will never leave your bag for several reasons: For one, the subtle coral shade will brighten up your complexion with a selfie-worthy shine. Secondly, this gloss literally lights up in a press of a button (on the top of the applicator) so you'll never lose your light for touch-ups throughout the day.
Peachy Pink
NARS Orgasm Oil-Infused Lip Tint, $26
This bad boy does not disappoint in the shine category. The extra glossy texture is made up of raspberry seed oil and pomegranate extract, so it conditions the lips with moisture. NARS is known for their cult-favorite Orgasm shade, which you can now enjoy in the form of lip oil.
Raspberry Red
Jill Stuart Lip Blossom Velvet in Shade o1, $24
Who says you have to give up your mystical shades altogether? You need a deep red for date night—a suitable shade whenever you're feeling moody. My favorite thing about this lipstick is the luxe packaging equipped with a Swarovski crystal and mini mirror in the cap.
