6 Affordable & Universally-Flattering Lip Colors
When it comes to makeup, I tend to stick to a similar routine and products year-round. But, one thing that I do like to switch up every now and then is my lip color. I always feel like a pop of color on my lips makes me instantly look put together, even if my day is actually filled with chaos! With the upcoming change of season, I wanted to share six of my favorite lip colors that easily transition from summer to fall. These are all products that I own and love. And the very best part? These lipsticks are all universally-flattering and extremely affordable ranging from $4.99-12! It really doesn’t get better than that!
Best Affordable Lipsticks
When it comes to the type of lip color, I don’t discriminate. I’ve found that there’s a time and place for all types - lipstick, lip balm and lip gloss. Therefore, there’s something for everyone on this list of the six best lipsticks. These lip colors look great on every skin tone and pair just as perfectly with a blue summer dress as they do with an olive fall blouse. Trust me when I say that these universally-flattering lip colors are ones that every woman needs in her makeup bag!
L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Original Satin Lipstick in Montmarte
When it comes to an actual lipstick, this is my favorite affordable brand and shade. Whereas many lipsticks can be drying, the L’Oreal Colour Riche is enriched with vitamins and oils, keeping my lips soft and hydrated. The color is a rich shade of neutral mauve and it’s perfect for a night out!
2. Maybelline Lifter Gloss in Silk
Not only is this lip gloss a beautiful, neutral shade of pink, but it also enhances your lip contour, giving you the appearance of fuller lips! Your lips will be shiny, hydrated and plump for under $7.
3. Julep It's Balm 2-in-1 Lip Balm + Buildable Lipstick in Nectar Pink
If you’re looking for a lip balm that’s made with natural, hydrating ingredients, but still packed with color, look no further. I absolutely love the Julep It’s Balm products and Nectar Pink is one of the shades I always have in my purse.
4. Julep It's Balm 2-in-1 Lip Balm + Buildable Lipstick in Canyon Rose
Same wonderful lip balm, different shade of pink. Nectar Pink is a very neutral, true pink while Canyon Rose has hints of plum undertones. Both shades are go-tos for me and look wonderful on all skin tones. My favorite part of this lip balm is that it is specifically formulated to add beautiful, even color to dry and cracked lips.
5. NYX Professional Makeup Butter Gloss in Bit of Honey
This is the absolute best peachy-nude lip gloss! And don’t let the word “peachy” scare you, it’s more of a soft brown “honey” tone. I love the texture of this lip gloss because it’s not sticky like others tend to be. Plus, it’s under $5!
6. Sephora Collection Glossed Lip Gloss in Glam
This dusty rose lipgloss is such a beautiful shade, with a slight metallic feature that adds the perfect touch of shimmer. This $10 lip gloss is long-lasting, non-sticky and non-bleeding.
