7 Lip Trends You Need To Try

  1. Jourdan Dunn wearing a trending ombre lips lipstick look using Candy Chic

    1. Ombré Lips

    You may have seen ombré hair and ombré nails previously taking over social media, and now ombré lips are having a moment! This lipstick trend is everywhere, and it’s no surprise! A gorgeous ombré effect using two lip colours helps lips to look fuller and more dimensional. Try filling in your lips with a darker shade of lip liner like a berry or brown, then dab a pale colour in the centre; by blending the two together, you will create a gorgeous gradient that accentuates the shape of your lips and makes your pout pop!

    2. Concealer Lips

    Who remembers wearing concealer on their lips in the 2000s? Concealer lips are trending, darlings, and they’re back to give your pout a magical, minimal lick of lipstick. The thought behind concealer lips is to give your lips a tone that matches your foundation – you don’t actually need to use a concealer on your lips to get the look! Reach for a nude lipstick that closely matches your skin tone and create the look of oh-so-noughties concealer lips!

    Tilbury Tip: To add modern dimension to concealer lips, choose a darker shade of lip liner that’s perfect for creating a soft contour effect.

    3. Frosted Lips

    The y2k magic doesn’t end with concealer lips, darlings! Make way for frosted lips – the shimmering lip trend that makes every pout sparkle and shine! The icy, frosted look that was so popular in the 2000s is a playful way to ice out your pout! Choose a lipstick shade that’s infused with light-reflecting properties that will make your lips glow, then swipe on to give your pout a shimmer finish that can’t help but become centre of attention.

    4. Gym Lips

    Just got back from the gym, darlings? That’s what the gym lips trend wants you to think! Gym lips are all about easy, minimal, natural-looking lip makeup with a juicy, glossy finish. The best way to get the gym lips look is to softly line your lips with a lip liner that closely matches their natural tones, then topping it with a glaze of lip oil or lip gloss for supersizing shine! Wear gym lips to the gym, to the office, or around town – you can have trending lips in seconds!

    5. Bold Lips

    Bold is beautiful, darlings! I love a neutral, natural-looking lipstick, but playing with your lip colour is one of the most empowering ways you can update your makeup. Bold lip colours are trending everywhere – the brighter, the better! Bold lipsticks make every pout stand out; try wearing a rich, purple lipstick like Festival Magic; a vivacious coral like Hot Emily; or a bright pink like The Queen to dial up your lip look.

    Peach is the colour of the year, darlings, and it looks fabulous on your eyes, lips, and cheeks! Peach makeup can act as a perfect pop of colour for your look and is an easy way to warm up the look of your face by adding a sweet, tropical flush. The mixture of pink and orange tones in peach makeup looks beautiful on a variety of skin tones, whether that’s a slick of Angel Alessandra Lipstick; a tap of Beach Peach Glow cream blush; or my Collagen Lip Bath in Peachy Plump.
