It’s all about owning the joy that coloring your pucker can bring. Think about it—changing up your lip color is easy and relatively inexpensive compared to, let’s say, getting a new wardrobe, haircut, or shoes.

Glossy is in!
Wet, glossy lips are big this year, whether you choose to go with a bold color or just the gloss itself. And by glossy, we mean lips that look like they are made of liquid. If you've got long hair, you might want to pull your hair back when you try this trend, though. You know how hair likes to get stuck in gloss.
But matte lips are in, too.
Not a fan of super-glossy lips? That's OK. Matte lips are in, too! The best part is that you can find matte lipstick in every shade nowadays. From barely there nudes to the darkest of the darks, they all look great.
Are red lips ever out?
That's a rhetorical question, because the answer is always NO! Red lips are classic and always on trend. You can get reds in matte, semimatte, and gloss. Have fun with the textures available and the wide range of red shades available.
Bust out the fire-engine red!
A bright fire-engine red color can work for day or night. Picture this color with a gingham blouse and jeans shorts. Cute! Now picture this color with a little black dress in the evening. Sexy!
Try out some bold, bright pinks.
Bold, bright shades of pink are fun during the summer. They make you feel like you're on vacation even when you're not. Vibrant pinks are also available in all the textures. You could even try a metallic pink for some Barbiecore vibes.
Adopt the motto 'Be colorful.'
"You are the creator of your colorful life." How wonderful is this sentiment expressed by Latina-owned Valdé Beauty? Let's live in color! Perhaps in this candy pink lip color. It definitely gives off summer vibes.
Get yourself some popsicle lips.
You know that sheer tint that's left behind when you enjoy a popsicle? It's gorgeous, and you don't have to eat popsicles to get the same effect. Wear sheer lip colors that give you that "just had a popsicle" pout.
In the autumn, you could opt for some earthy tones.
Autumn always has us feeling like earth tones are the epitome of luxe. They soothe and flatter. They make us want to drink hot chocolate or spiced lattes. They go so well with sweater weather.
Neutrals are always an option.
Pick up some tubes in light neutral colors that can range from pinky to peachy and so on. There are so many shades to choose from. They are perfect for days when you want an effortless, relaxed look.
Go totally nude like Selena.
You see what she did here? She wore a bright green top and kept her makeup neutral. It works, and those nude lips are perfection. They complement her eyes so well. This lip color has year-round appeal.
Or what about a matte nude?
Kylie Jenner makes the case for a matte nude lip, and it looks pretty awesome. Remember that there is a wide range of nudes to choose from, so don't be afraid that a nude lip will make you look washed out. It's all about choosing the right shade for you.
Don’t forget about lip liners.
'90s lips are back. Selena Gomez's cosmetics line, Rare Beauty, suggests using a lip liner "in a shade or two deeper than your natural lip and define the lip line. Start at the outer corner of the upper lip and sweep inwards, lightly overlining the lips—this will enhance the natural shape. Repeat on the lower lip."
Metallic lips are surprisingly wearable.
Today's metallic lip shades can shimmer or shine as daintily or boldly as you like. They also come in colors that work for spring and summer, autumn, or winter. A metallic bright pink is fun in the summer; darker metallics work well later in the year.
Consider purples for winter.
Deep colors like purple are sensational in the winter. If purple isn't for you, try a burgundy or deep red shade. Add some glitter for glam. Try it in matte or cream. Don't be surprised if your lips make you end up wanting to wear velvet as well.
Brown and proud lips are lovely!
Brown lips are appropriate all year long. There is a shade of brown out there for everyone. It's becoming more and more of a staple color, and for good reason. Add a shade of brown to your lipstick wardrobe this year!
