Red Redux
Candy-apple red isn't just for sports cars. Instead of sticking to your standard rouge, push the envelope with this dense gloss. It not only makes lips pop, but has Selena Gomez's name written all over it.
Orange's Next Iteration
Orange-y hues have become a statement since Kourtney Kardashian revealed her signature orange-red version to the masses a few years back. With '70s disco revival on the beauty horizon (see: MAC's soon-to-be released Le Disko collection), we're feeling copper as orange's next iteration.
Rose Glow
Thanks in part to the dainty jewelry revival, rose gold is having a moment. Use the shade—which would look perfect on luminous J.Lo—to brighten your complexion with a gloss just as dainty; this formula delivers a summer-glow enhancing shade without stickiness.
Champagne Dreams
The new way to do nude? Pull a page from the Kate Hudson playbook and capture champagne's incredible lightness of being via your lip color. Thanks to peachy flecks, this hue doesn't read icy; instead, it warms up olive and darker skin tones.
Kesha's Go-To Lipstick
For the boldest metal mouth, try a shade inspired by Rihanna or Kesha, who often turns to this lipstick range to make her standout style. This true metallic silver conjures futurism and gives the perfect edge to an all-black ensemble.
Amped-Up Ombre
Style standouts like Lupita Nyong'o and Rihanna regularly call on metal-tinged purples to punch up more streamlined outfits. Push the concept by creating an ombre lip with deep blue and iridescent lilac.
Go Goddess in Gold
Going metal doesn't mean that lips have to be loud. Try a subtle 24-karat sheen to seal an ethereal look, like Gigi Hadid might wear.

Alloy With an Edge
The new way to go mod? Try a high-shimmer gloss that's only somewhat opaque. This alloy shade combines microfine silver shimmer with a rosy-nude gloss and works on a variety of skin tones. (We see it as the perfect shade for Taylor Swift to edge up a preppy look).
