Anyone else agree that there is nothing better than finding flattering lip colors?

Lipstick, along with your eyeshadow, really can make a bold statement in terms of your makeup. It turns out a lot of people agree and are a big fan of lip shades, too. In fact, it’s said that over the last year, April’s lipstick sales increased more than 80 percent. Wow! Clearly, people are reaching for lipstick once again after a year indoors, and much of which they had half of their faces hidden in a mask.

According to Diane von Furstenberg, ‘lipstick is to the face as punctuation is to an essay.’

Here are three striking lip trends to consider as we emerge from our cocoons this summer and fall. All these lip colors will create a fun fashion statement. From a bright orange lip color to a more muted brown stain, let’s dive in!

Bold and Beautiful – Bright shades like Dahlia scream “I’m free!” No more hiding our lips!

There’s nothing unusual about people looking back at “the good old days” during challenging times. The ’90s and Y2K beauty trends seem to be everywhere lately. Yes, that includes lip liner. Matte lipsticks usually have the lip product supporting the main character, but with this modern take on the trend, the pencil takes center stage.

Berry Kissable Lips – Lip stains are amazing when you’re super active and on the go! Small smudges don’t matter to you when you’re busy running to meetings and dinner dates. A lip that moves with you is essential.

A lip stain on your lips imparts a very gentle wash of color. There’s no need to touch up every half hour either. As the barely-there tint fades, it disappears evenly, rather than leaving your lips one patch at a time. How awesome is that?
