After months of uncertainty, a more hopeful mood is in the air. It's everywhere, including beauty. Which most likely explains the uptick in interest in vivid lipsticks. (There's actually been an increase in customers buying happy-go-lucky shades as lockdown measures ease.)
We don't want moody colors right now, thank you very much. And we've gotten as good as we're going to get at our no-makeup makeup looks thanks to numerous Zoom calls. What we're craving is happy, brighter makeup that we can show off IRL.

Fill in your lips with this cheerful lip crayon for a pretty pout. The vegan formula has a matte finish but won't dry out kissers thanks to wild African mango butter, pomegranate oil and castor seed oil.
The budget-friendly lipstick range makes trying a new shade low risk. But you'll absolutely adore this classic red. Especially with its one-swipe-and-done hydrating formula.
This shot of metallic color can safely be used on eyes, cheeks and lips. It's a grown-up pink glitter that turns heads when worn solo, but can be layered with other products.
There are bright pinks, then there is this statement-making shade. The gorgeous lipstick offers a satin finish and a clean, cruelty-free formula. Plus, the packaging is made with 18 percent recycled plastic.
