Trying out new lipstick shades is a perfect way to step outside your comfort zone when the seasons change. The right shade can elevate any look, whether you’re going for an all-out glam holiday look or a fresh and natural summer aesthetic. Here are some tips on how to get that perfect pout every time.
You can wear lipstick every day if you want to!
If you’ve ever seen our founder, then you know that she always rocks a red lip. Her signature color is Hibiscus Fruit Pigmented® Pomegranate Oil Anti-Aging Lipstick. If you prefer to only wear lipstick on business days, we’ve got plenty of colors for you to choose from so that you can create the perfect set for any season.
If you’re looking for a lip color that will last several hours without needing to be reapplied, you have some great options.
Most people think that lipstick lasts longer than lip gloss, but there are many styles of long-wearing makeup available. The problem with these products is that they contain harsh chemicals and ingredients that can be harmful to your health. Polymers, acrylics, and parabens may make your cosmetics last longer, but they can also be ingested when you wear them. Decide on safer options for your lips (and health) by avoiding these ingredients.
Instead of opting for lipsticks with synthetic dyes, pick those richly pigmented with safe, natural water-based colors. The deeper pigment will adhere better to your lips and last much longer than conventional lipsticks, without the constant need to reapply or worry about ingesting toxins.
Although each person’s preferences for lip color differ, there are certain shades that become more popular during different seasons. For example, you’ll see ads for nude lipstick more often in the summer and darker colors offered as options during fall and winter.
This isn’t to say however that you can’t wear a brighter shade of red lipstick in summer or a nude color on New Year’s Eve. After all, the perfect lipstick is ultimately one that matches your skin tone and makes you feel confident no matter what time of year it is.
Nude lipsticks are easy to apply and an effortless way to add a bit of natural color if you want a bare-faced look.
A nude eye can be a great way to bring attention to a bold eye or go for low-key makeup, but it is essential that you do your research beforehand. If you pick a shade too close to your skin color, then you run the risk of looking washed out and sallow instead. Do your due diligence and figure out which undertones work best with your skin tone!
Achieve the perfect nude lip by avoiding straight beige shades. Instead, look for nudes with slight undertones of pink or berry; these hues will keep your lips looking natural and healthy while providing a hint of color.
Berry shades are a great option for all skin tones. Raspberry, blackberry, plum, and cranberry work well for different seasons. Berries can be richly pigmented and intimidating if you’re not used to so much color. You’ll find berries glide on easily in a lip gloss or offer deeper, richer colors in matte finishes.
Red is a shade for everyone because there are an infinite number of colors in the red lip color family. While some people may only wear their red lippies on special occasions, at 100% Pure we believe that every day can be made special with a bold red lip.
Wearing red doesn’t have to be intimidating! If you focus on finding shades with the correct undertones for your skin color, it’ll be easy to find one that matches.
Although they’re unpopular colors now, pink shades of lipstick were once quite popular in the 80’s. These hues can range from nude, petal pinks to brighter mauves and fuschias.
Pink lips look lovely during any season but are most common in spring due to the warmer weather.
The color of your lipstick should be related to the undertones of your skin. After first appearing complicated, it is easy to shop from the correct shade families by understanding your overtones and undertones.
Let’s say you’re on the hunt for deep berry lip color. In that case, you’ll want to buy shades that correspond with your undertone family. For example, those with warm undertones should look for deep purples, tawny cranberries, and blackberries.
No matter the season, always remember: you’ll have your own list of favorites that quickly become your go-to’s. If you want to wear a rich red in spring, do it— confidently! There really are no rules when you feel fabulous.
For those of us who want just a little more guidance with our style choices, here are some tried and true picks for seasonal shades that are flattering and always in style.
As the leaves begin to change color, so does our nail polish. We love brick reds, browns, and muted mauves that give our nails a matte finish.

One of the great things about holiday parties is that they give you an opportunity to try out new makeup looks. Seasonal lip colors are a perfect way to experiment with different shades and finishes, whether you’re going for a casual or more formal look.
Deep berries are essential for winter, and they work for both casual and formal events. The darker and more dramatic the color, the more attention-grabbing it will be. Try experimenting with different finishes to achieve a completely different look with the same shade.

After the dark and heavy colors of winter, springtime is a refreshing change. Lighter colors are worn to represent new beginnings, and pastels become mainstays in our makeup bag. To achieve a naturally soft look for the season, opt for pinks, mauves, and bright berries.

With fewer rules to follow in terms of shade selection, summer is the perfect time to experiment with a range of lipstick colors and finishes. Although waterproof options will be advertised heavily, we recommend avoiding them due to their unsavory ingredients. Instead, opt for a super hydrating lip color that will protect your lips from dehydration during the hotter months.
Nudes are a great way to add some sun-kissed color to your skin, and they can help give you a boost right where you need it.
