Six Essential Lipstick Shades Every Teenage Girl Should Own

The new season is right around the corner, and with it comes a resurgence of vibrant and magnificent trends that are taking over Pinterest and Instagram. If you have a fashionable friend or follow beauty bloggers, you've likely seen the hottest looks: potential gains out eyeliner, white sneakers, and tiny accents. Let's dive into the various shades of red lipstick and the lustrous lips that are still making waves.

Red Lips

Super-hot red lips are anything but a recent fad; they've been time-honored favorites for a long time. However, this spring-summer, the way to accentuate our red lipstick is all about minimalism. No feline eye or heavy eyeshadow—simply let your lips take center stage.

Lip Gloss

_xor_th_ong to my school days, glimmering lips are back! The 90s succulent pout is making a comeback! Rock this trend with an understated vampire lip shade, like those seen on models from Phillip Plein's runway, or go for a sheer finish tone. I recommend applying a lip gloss during the day with a bright eyeshadow or going with a natural look. At night, layer your lipstick with a gloss.

Lip Balm

Who can resist a new face during summer? I love keeping it natural and sun-kissed. Designers like Etro and Balmain have proposed natural makeup for this spring-summer season, including mascara and lip balms.

Lip balms are perfect for summer as they hydrate your lips. Brands like Lanc?me and Dior offer lip balms that transform into a pretty and natural pink shade, ideal for a poolside makeup look.

Fun Fuchsia

Dolce and Gabbana have opted to change the traditional and provocative red for a bright and fun metallic fuchsia. Wear this color with a double mascara look, or pair it with a light pink eyeshadow. This vibrant shade is perfect for adding that pop of color to your makeup routine.

Nude Tones

Nude tones are rich, muted, and stylish. I love wearing nude lipstick all day. At night, add a statement eye like Fendi's spring-summer 2018 catwalk look to complete the look.

Orange Lips

Orange might be the trickiest shade to pull off this year, but it's my favorite trend for summer. Orange lips work beautifully on tanned skin, and a little gold highlighter or mascara can make the perfect party look.

No matter the season—fall, winter, spring, or summer—this year's 2022 makeup trends are all about bold eyeshadow and subtle lips. Goodbye to the monochromatic red lip trend, and hello to fun, colorful eyeshadow tones that complement more natural lips.
