There’s no better way to show off your bold personality than with a statement lip. Lime Crime’s lip lineup includes glossy, matte, and semi-sheer lip makeup in every standout shade you can imagine, from confident reds to dramatic darks (and even some blues). If you really want to turn up the dial, try layering a glitter gloss over your favorite lipstick color for a party-ready pout that has style and sass. 

Here, we’ll introduce you to all of Lime Crime’s best lip colors, so you can give bland beauty the boot. Mix ‘em, match ‘em, coordinate them with your hair color. However you wear them, our pigment-packed lip shades are a surefire way to never blend in. Find your new go-to hue(s), ahead.

What Is The Best Lip Color For Me?

The best lipstick color for you is the one that makes you feel your most confident—and that’s likely to change depending on the day (that’s part of what makes beauty so fun). Let yourself experiment with different colors and textures. Our lip makeup comes in a wide range of shades and finishes to suit every beauty mood. 

For something bold and bright, try playing around with our fan-favorite liquid lipsticks. These long-lasting lip colors come in 44 unique shades, including punky pinks and moody mauves, for a high-impact look that won’t fade or feather. If you want something a little less in-your-face, reach for our cherry-scented lip glosses. Pick from one of 23 semi-sheer lip shades for a stylish splash of color and shine.

What’s The Difference Between Warm and Cool Lip Colors?

Describing a color as warm or cool may be confusing if you’re not familiar with what that actually means. Basically, temperature is a way of describing a color’s undertone. Warm colors tend to be fiery shades with hints of gold or peach, like Ruby Red and Marmalade. 

Cool colors, meanwhile, are shades with blue or grey undertones, like Cashmere or Gigi. Some colors fall somewhere between cool and warm, and those are what we would refer to as “neutral” tones. 

What Is a Good Everyday Lip Color?

Why put beauty in a box? At Lime Crime, we believe everyone can (and should) express themselves with whatever colors they want, whenever they want. Turn heads with a powerful purple lipstick shade, pair a bold lip liner with a swipe of sheer gloss for a graphic look, or put the cherry on top of your no-makeup-makeup look with a creamy nude or grungy brown shade. The (beauty) world is your oyster, and you don’t need a special occasion to rock a standout look. Experiment to your heart’s content. 

That being said, a lot of people like neutrals for everyday looks (especially if you’re in a professional setting). Thankfully, you don’t have to sacrifice style to go to work. Our Plushies Soft Liquid Lipsticks provide long-lasting, soft-focus color to enhance your natural lip shade. Pick from one of 14 soft, subtle shades for a toned-down tint perfect for daytime.

What Lip Color Should I Wear To Make a Statement?

We love an eye-catching lip look. That’s why our range of lip makeup includes vibrant shades sure to turn heads (and steal hearts). Swipe on a moody dark hue, like Bloodmoon, for a cool and confident look with serious style, or reach for an electric lipstick shade, like True Love, to dial your look up to 11. You can wear your lip color alone for a high-impact look, or pair your chosen shade with a glam glitter gloss, like the gold-and-green Cherry Slime, for an extra helping of attitude. 

How Should I Choose a Lip Color?

There’s no right (or wrong) way to pick your best lip color—it’s all about playful experimentation. Snag a few shades and bring one out for a different look each day, or, if you’re not ready to commit, use our virtual try-on tool to see different lipstick shades IRL.
