It's time to switch things up.
The spring season is still a few months away, so you've sadly got some time before you can put away your snow boots, puffer coat, and all the lipsticks and lip glosses you wore on repeat during the winter months. That said, it's not too soon to start thinking about your spring lipstick color collection. TBH, I'm a huge advocate of switching up your go-to lip color with the changing seasons. It's an easy way to refresh your look without having to do something dramatic, like chopping off all your hair. So to get you ready for the first day of spring on March 20, I rounded up the 20 best spring lipstick colors to try for the upcoming season. From soft lavender to vibrant fuchsia, there's a gorgeous option for everyone.
More tinted lip balm than traditional lipstick, this bb feels like a literal dream on lips thanks to a blend of moisturizing mango seed butter, jojoba seed oil, and sunflower seed oil. And the pink-mauve shade? A total stunner for spring 2022.
Dior's 999 is an icon in the beauty world—the best-selling true-red lipstick shade has been around for decades. Wear it on your lips this spring (and then for the rest of the year) for a bold, yet totally classic vibe.
Behold: The perfect spring color for anyone who wants to get in on the bold lipstick makeup trend for 2022, but can't commit to the intensity of a vivid red or vibrant pink. This muted brick shade wears like a neutral, but still packs the punch of bold red—just trust me, k?
Don't let anyone tell you that brown is only a fall lipstick color, because this toasty hue is truly one of the most stunning shades for the spring season too. And it's versatile—wear it with jeans and a cream sweater during the week and your favorite pair of leggings on the weekend.
Another shade that people love to wear as a fall and/or winter lipstick color, but forget about for the spring season? A rich burgundy, like this one from Huda Beauty. It's vampy, unexpected, and looks super cute paired with your favorite floral spring dress and a leather jacket.
My favorite shade in MAC's Re-Think Pink Collection (it includes six reimagined pink lipstick shades—from coral to rose), this soft nude-pink hue is infused with subtle pearl pigments to give your lips a gorgeous glow. Plus, the creamy formula lasts for eight hours so you don't to worry about touch-ups during the day.
This buildable red lipstick can be used two ways: Quickly swipe it on your lips for a soft, popsicle-like lip stain, or really layer it on for more intense red color. Either way you wear it, it'll look gorgeous with all your spring makeup looks.
Orange lipstick can be intimidating, I get it, but once you start making it a part of your makeup routine your first thought will be "uhh, why didn't I start wearing this color sooner?!" This orange from Chanel has a hint of a coral hue to it, making it both supremely wearable and perf for the spring season.
This spring lipstick color is anything but subtle. A few swipes coat lips in nude-pink metallic pigments that create a super-shiny iridescent sheen. It's the perfect statement-making shade for a fun night out with friends. Plus, the formula is super moisturizing too, so it'll feel like you're wearing a lip balm on your lips.
If you love to switch up your lip color on a regular basis, this lipstick palette is for you. It's filled with four spring-inspired shades (including fuchsia, brick red, cherry red, and dusty rose) that you can wear alone or together. Just use your fingers to press the soft, suede-like pigments onto your lips, building as much or as little as you want.
This vibrant liquid matte lipstick basically screams "PAY ATTENTION TO ME," and I'm very much about that. The super-saturated formula coats lips in an intense, opaque fuchsia color that's perfect for spring—and your selfie game.
You can't go wrong with a peachy lipstick color for spring. This one from Mented Cosmetics strikes the perfect balance of pink, orange, and tan hues, so it looks gorgeous on legit everybody, whether you're fair or have a deep skin tone.
This multitasking gloss coats lips in a wash of sheer and shiny rosy color (it's practically made for spring weather) while gently exfoliating with apple extract and deeply moisturizing with a dose of coconut milk and grapeseed oil.
Bright and cheery but not too bold, this sheer berry lip gloss is soooo pretty for spring. It's non-sticky and infused with plant oils (like raspberry seed oil and rosehip oil) to lightly moisturize your lips every time you swipe it on.
Your spring makeup bag = not complete without this neutral lipstick (it's a mix of mauve, rose, and beige tones). It has a soft, velvety-matte texture that lasts for hours, and the angled bullet shape makes it easy to fill in your lips with precision.
This lip oil has a soft, lavender tint that's neutral enough to make it ultra-wearable, but still bright enough to feel fun for the spring season. The moisturizing formula is a miracle for dry, chapped lips too, thanks to hyaluronic acid and meadowfoam seed oil.
This nearly-neon shade isn't for the low-key. The bright, orangey-red pigments go on nice and creamy, then dry down to a satin matte finish that lasts for hours (yep, even under your cloth face mask).
I can't say enough good things about Kosas lipsticks. The formulas are buttery smooth, feel light-as-air, and don't feather or bleed either. Try their "Royal" shade for spring—it's a rich berry that's perfect to wear during the cooler spring months, like March and April.
Hands down the most comfortable spring lipstick color on the list? This creamy option from Beautycounter. The sheer formula gives lips a pretty, pale pink tint that's totally buildable—plus it's loaded with conditioning plant-based waxes and emollients that melt into lips for all-day hydration.
Shimmery and ultra-hydrating, this sheer gold drugstore lip color is one of my favorites for the spring season. Wear it alone or layered over your favorite neutral lipstick for a long-lasting plumping effect (it's infused with hyaluronic acid) and a super-shiny finish.
