As the temperature drops and the air gets drier, we’ve officially entered that dreaded season for chapped lips. While matte lipsticks are undeniably stylish, they often can exacerbate lip dryness, and glossy formulas tend to wear too quickly. Luckily, beauty brands have risen up to the challenge, crafting hydrating lipsticks for dry lips that are not only bold with complementing shades, but also keep your lips soft and supple all day long.
With some extra care and extra attention, you can ensure your lips stay smooth and moisturized all day. As a girl with naturally drier lips that grew up in the cold winters, I have discovered a few tips and tricks that I implement in my daily routine, including staying hydrated and wearing lip balm under my lipstick. No longer do we have to compromise our looks and rely on drugstore chapstick to fight the colder weather. This winter, you can have both! Here are 14 hydrating lipsticks to keep your lips looking and feeling their best throughout the chilly months.
