Maybelline New York Baby Lips Color Balm Crayon in Playful Purple
You don’t have to convince this beauty editor that purple should be a frontrunner for spring lips. Maybelline’s violet shade is true to its name: playful, bright, and deeply pigmented. Bonus! It’s subtle enough to get away with a wear in a variety of atmospheres.
Dose of Colors Liquid Matte Lipstick in Sand
Neutrals will never be confined to seasonal parameters, and this spring we’re favoring this Dose of Colors liquid nude. A sweet reminder that summer months aren’t too far ahead of us, the sandy hue has us counting down to beach days.
Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick in Snapdragon
For those of you not ready to embrace grunge (or are in denial of it), brooding brown lips of the ’90s are sticking around — and Revlon’s warm, woody hue will make a gorgeous spring neutral this season. The Ultra HD collection was designed with a wax-free technology, so color sticks around without weighing you down.
Stila Glitterati Lip Top Coat
For Stila, transitioning from winter to springtime this season means embracing sparkle. They’ve introduced two tinted, glistening top coats in a transparent pink or slightly deeper berry and layering the gloss over your favorite opaque stick sparks a “high-wattage” of color to transform the entire look.
NARS Semi Matte Lipstick in Breaking Free
Coral made a comeback over the last few years or so, honoring the resurrected trends of the groovy ’70s. We expect the hue to stick around another season, especially once NARS loyalists swatch Breaking Free’s neon addition to the brand’s spring collection. Adorning lips with its vivid hue and velvet texture is sure to make and ensemble sunny and bright.
Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick in K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Valentine
We celebrate our valentines one day of the year, but users love this Charlotte Tilbury color annually. A subtle reminder that pink doesn’t always have to pop, Valentine’s hue is soft and gorgeously feminine, enhanced with 3D glowing pigments, soothing orchid, and lipstick tree extracts to shade and nourish your pout.
Bite Beauty Edgy Neutrals Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Cava
Trends of the 1980s are dispersing themselves among the beauty world, and among them, the mauve lip is one we can definitely get behind. Bite Beauty recently launched a collection of edgy neutrals for 2017 that includes four brand-new shades, as well as four renown favorites. Our choice for spring is Cava’s beautiful lilac beige that mirrors a modern interpretation of louder shades of mauve.
Bad Medina Lipstick in Couture
Following Pantone’s lead, we’re on a green streak this spring — and for those daring enough to wear the color, you have our support. Medina’s emerald teeters on the brink of wonderful and wicked, a shade that definitely requires a high level of confidence and spunk.
Bad Medina Lip Paint in Bombshell
A definite competitor for Barbie’s signature color, Bad Medina’s lip paint in Bombshell is one you can’t miss. We love how one swipe makes you feel even sexier, with a bold confidence to wear at the office or after hours.
Bobbi Brown Nourishing Lip Color in Cosmic Peony
Beauty trends from the ’70s are lingering as the ’80s plan a takeover, and while it may be a bit early to get a head start on fall favorites, floral hues are a must for spring. This electric peony shade from Bobbi Brown is a show-stopper, best for those who like — or simply crave — attention.
