Deep Berry Replaces Classic Red

In 2025, deep berry tones like mulberry and black cherry are taking center stage. These shades give a bold, modern twist to the classic red lipstick. The look is strong yet sophisticated and works for any occasion. Pinterest even predicts a "cherry-coded" year according to its annual trend report.

Try it: Line lips, apply a thin layer of berry lipstick, and blot for a lived-in effect.

Terracotta Browns: Your New Neutral

Terracotta, caramel, and burnt sienna are the new neutrals. These shades add warmth and work across all skin tones. They’re perfect for daily wear and easy to apply. Celebrities have been embracing this trend wholeheartedly. 

Zendaya recently showcased a deep-brown lip liner topped with gloss at the Met Gala, while Gigi Hadid opted for a soft-matte nude to balance her sparkly dress. Even the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has been known to favor a lovely pinky-brown shade that works as a versatile neutral. These hues work well for daily casual outings.

Best occasions to use this shade: Long workdays, formal events, and when you need your color to last.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How do I stop matte lipstick from drying my lips?
Start by gently exfoliating your lips with a soft toothbrush or a sugar scrub. Apply a thin layer of moisturizing lip balm and let it absorb. Blot away any excess balm with a tissue. Apply your matte lipstick in a thin, even layer. Avoid layering too much product, as this can emphasize dryness.

Q2: Why is mini lipstick a good option?
Mini lipstick offers portability and fit easily into small bags or pockets. It allows you to try several shades without committing to full sizes. The formula is usually identical to the regular version, so you don’t sacrifice quality. Mini sizes are ideal for travel and quick touch-ups. They also help reduce waste if you rarely finish a full tube.

Q3: What lipstick shades match different skin tones?
Fair skin often looks great with peach, light pink, or soft rose shades. Medium skin pairs well with mauve, berry, or warm coral. Deep skin tones shine in plum, brick red, or rich burgundy. Always test shades in natural light to see what flatters you most. Personal preference and comfort should guide your final choice

Q4: What helps lipstick stay on longer?
Begin with clean, dry lips. Outline and fill in your lips with a matching lip liner. Apply one thin layer of lipstick and blot with a tissue. Add a second layer for intensity. Press a tissue over your lips and dust translucent powder through it to set the color.

Q5: Which is better-gloss or matte, for daily wear?
Gloss provides a shiny, fresh look and feels hydrating, making it great for casual or Quick routines. Matte lipstick offers longer wear and a more defined finish, which can be ideal for busy days or events. Your choice should depend on comfort, the look you want, and how much time you have for touch-ups. Both finishes can be part of a daily routine, depending on your needs
