10 Lip Color For Spring 2021
1. Maybelline New York Liquid Lipstick – 80 Ruler [₹422]
Pinks are forever a favorite during the springtime to go with a minimal to a bold outfit. This shade is the perfect daytime wear lip color that adds just the right amount of tint to your outfit.

3. Hyaluronic Happikiss Lipstick Balm [$34.00]
Leave it to Charlotte Tilbury to infuse the hydrating power of hyaluronic acid into lip color. It may technically be a balm, but don’t be fooled by the name—Happipetal and the other seven shades are as pigmented as any lipstick in your makeup bag.

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 all skin tones, from fair to deep.
5. Juvia’s Place The Nude Velvety Matte Lipstick in A Mauve Moment [$14.00]
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.

8. SUGAR Cosmetics Time To Shine Lip Gloss – 03 Mellow Kitty [₹499]
Make space for some glossy goodness with stunning muted peaches like this deep peach nude that not just uplifts your look but moisturizes it as well.
9. x Veronica Beard Luxe Lipstick[ $38.00]
When the maker of some of our all-time favorite lipsticks teams up with one of our go-to designers, Veronica Beard, on two limited-edition colors, good things happen. (In this case, good things = leopard lipstick tubes.)

10. Kosas Weightless Lip Color Lipstick in Royal [$28.00]
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.

What Is A Frosted Lipstick?
Frosted lipstick is basically lipstick with a hint of shimmer in it, giving your lips a glossy and shiny look. While the ‘90s saw more tan and pink frosted lipsticks, the recent ones are light pastels, crimsons, and bronze, giving them a subtler look. While applying frosted it is important to learn how to apply it and not go overboard. Applying a thin coat in the center of your lips should do the trick. Always start small and then apply more if required.
