Focused around romantic, rosy hues, Valentine's Day comes around at the perfect time to break Us out of our winter blues and start shifting toward pastel spring shades. Quite frankly, a mood-enhancing pink lipstick is the perfect place to start. You’ll need a matching lipstick for your Valentine’s Day outfit anyway, so why not use it as an excuse to invest in a lipstick you can also use for the rest of the season? Whether you’re someone who likes a more mild version or a shopper who prefers a more wild pick, we’ve gathered up several hues which run the pink gamut so you can find one that suits you best.
Planning an elaborate dinner party with the gal pals or a romantic date night with your S.O.? Either way, we’ve found a pink-toned lipstick for both your aesthetic and your budget. If you’re looking to add a pop of color as the finishing touch to a simple dress and heels, we found bright hues such as Nars’s vivid pink matte lipstick in Schiap, but also more subdued sheer-finish colors such as Merit Beauty’s Signature Lipstick in Baby. We’ve also included top-rated drugstore lipsticks, such as the Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick which starts at just $11, as well as a few bestselling luxury lipsticks if you’re looking to splurge.
