Kiss Me Quick: This Season’s Hottest Lip Trends Will Transform Your Look

Spring and summer are all about embracing vibrant colours, dewy textures, and that feeling of sunshine on your lips. To help you step out of hibernation in style, we’re diving into the hottest lip launches that will have you pucker-perfect for the season.

These products are more than just makeup; they are a statement of self-care and expression. The lip care industry has recognised the need for products that not only beautify but also protect and nourish. With the inclusion of ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, and various nourishing oils, these new launches are set to redefine what it means to have a ‘good lip day’.

Glossy Boss

Gloss is back with a vengeance. Remember Lancôme’s Juicy Tubes? These reformulated luscious sticks £26 now offer a nostalgic twist with a modern, hydrating formula that keeps lips juicy and kissable for hours. I can’t believe they have been around since the 90’s! It just goes to show that great products never go out of style.

Hot brand Vieve is making waves with their Lip Dew £19. This isn’t your average lip gloss. Lip Dew offers a high-shine, mirror-like finish with a weightless, comfortable feel. Available in a range of sheer to medium-coverage shades, it delivers a subtle hint of colour that enhances your natural lip tone. We love the pink colour Cherub.

Fenty Beauty’s Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminzer £19 continues to reign supreme with its universal shades and high-shine finish, perfect for a night out or a day at the beach. New colour Fuchsia Flex is just gorgeous for spring with a shimmering holographic style.

Craving a high-shine pout with a hint of colour? Look no further than YSL’s new Loveshine Candy Glaze £36. This innovative lip gloss combines the glossy shine you love with the nourishing care of a balm. Its jelly-like texture melts onto lips for a comfortable, non-sticky feel. Infused with pomegranate extract, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E, it delivers a subtle plumping effect and keeps lips feeling hydrated. Available in a range of juicy colours, the Loveshine Candy Glaze is perfect for anyone who wants a kissable pout with a touch of YSL luxury.

Oil Spill
 

Lip oils are all the rage for good reason. They combine the shine of a gloss with the nourishing power of a balm, leaving your lips looking plump and healthy. 

Summer Fridays (founded by renowned influencers Marianna Hewitt and Lauren Ireland) just dropped their Dream Lip Oil £26, available in a range of sheer, buildable tints that smell like a tropical vacation. Summer Fridays’ Dream Lip Oil is all about keeping your lips kissably soft, healthy, and beautifully shiny.

Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil £32 is another must-have, with 3 new limited-edition shades to choose from, a delicious cherry scent and a hint of colour that enhances your natural lip tone. The formula boasts cherry oil and shea butter to keep lips feeling soft and hydrated, while the buildable tint allows you to customize the intensity for a perfect day or night look. The Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil offers a luxurious take on lip pampering.

Gisou, known for their luxurious honey-infused haircare, is buzzing into the lip care game with their Honey Infused Lip Oil £24. This multi-tasking lip lacquer combines their hero ingredient, Mirsalehi Honey, with hyaluronic acid and the Mirsalehi Bee Garden Oil Blend. This lip oil is perfect for anyone who wants a healthy-looking pout with a touch of sweetness. Gisou has recently launched new juicy, fruit-scented shades.

Bold Balms

Don’t underestimate the power of a good lip balm this season. Brands are getting creative, offering tinted balms that deliver a wash of colour and serious moisture.

Crickle Daisy, Petra Ecclestone’s new beauty and lifestyle brand for adults and children, has launched a lip treat £16 that caters to both gloss and balm lovers. Their Lip Treats come in two sweet flavours – Strawberry Shortcake and Marshmallow. This 2-in-1 balm is packed with three super oils and offers long-lasting hydration and a glossy sheen without any stickiness. 

Laneige, the brand known for its expertise in lip hydration, is offering a two-pronged attack on dry, winter lips. Their Lip Sleeping Mask remains a cult favourite for overnight moisture repair. However, for all-day TLC with a touch of fun, the Lip Glowy Balm in Gummy Bear £17.50 is a must-try. This balm-gloss hybrid delivers a sheer wash of pink with a yummy gummy bear scent. Packed with murumuru and shea butter, it leaves lips feeling nourished and smooth, while the lightweight, non-sticky formula offers a subtle, glossy shine that’s perfect for everyday wear and lasts for ages.

And of course, let’s not forget about the Peptide Lip Treatment from Hailey Bieber’s brand Rhode £16. This luxurious balm combines cutting-edge science with luxurious ingredients for visibly fuller, smoother lips. Formulated with a powerful peptide complex, it stimulates collagen production to enhance lip volume and definition. Shea butter and hyaluronic acid deeply hydrate, leaving lips feeling soft and supple.
