Kiss Winter Goodbye With These Best Spring Lipsticks
PC: Pinterest
I’m really going ham on this Spring content right now. Spring skirts, Spring mentality, and Spring jackets; my mind is just desperate to wiggle out of the heated blanket wrapped around me and swap it for something bright and flowy. But it’s not just clothes I’m overhauling—my makeup routine is getting a little refresh as well. Where the winter saw a lot of full-coverage foundations, thick contour strokes, and dark lipsticks, Spring asks me to lighten the touch on my face. The most noticeable swap I make, therefore, is the lipstick shade I use.
The best spring lipsticks should match the flowers blossoming outside. They should feel soft and bright and gentle, like you’re just awakening from a deep rest. Instead of a punchy bright red, you get a soft mauve pink. Instead of a seductive dark maroon, you want a near-nude rose. It’s not just the color that determines a good Spring lipstick, but the texture and finish, too. Think balmy lipsticks instead of matte ones, or sheer instead of full coverage. I know, it’s a lot to think about, which is why I’ve collected the best lipsticks for Spring, below, so the decision is as easy as click and buy.
I’m a die-hard Victoria Beckham fan when it comes to her beauty line. Okay, big fan of her ready-to-wear, too, but staying focused here. This pink-hued nude is the perfect Spring shade, brightening the lips without grabbing too much attention away from the rest of your face.
Tom Ford’s “West Coast” shade is a slighter deeper tone compared to the previous option. It’s the perfect lipstick for sunset drinks on a rooftop.
The Dior Addict lipsticks are a combination of lip balm and lipstick—ultra-hydrating with a natural-looking pigmentation. This shade has some flirty sparkles in it, too.
I adore this coral shade for Spring. If you have any Mediterranean summer vacations planned, make sure to pack this stunning lipstick with you.
Just the name “Tulip 344” suggests that this is the perfect lipstick shade for Spring. When your lips are looking a little dull, this lipstick will bring the color and life back to them.
Merit’s Signature Lipsticks are hydrating, beautiful, and easy to apply (even without a mirror). For Spring, I suggest this classic pink color.
If you want “I woke up like this” lips, opt for Glossier’s Ultralip lipstick. It delivers a natural-looking, sheer color that adds a tiny bit of pop without looking too heavy.
This was my go-to all summer last year, but truthfully, it’s the perfect lipstick/lipbalm combo for any time of the year. It hydrates your lips, adds a delicious shine, and makes them pop with a touch of color.
