If you’re looking for lip color trends, you’ve come to the right place. Much like fashion, popular looks in makeup vary from season to season. Winter lip colors occupy two very different ends of the spectrum: taupe-y nudes and the deepest burgundies. But the two extremes do share some common ground: super-deep pigment and an ultra-matte finish. And of course, we all know that testing on animals is never in fashion, so we’ve found some gorgeous cruelty-free vegan lip color for you to try this season:
