2020 is coming to a close, and now is the best time to tap into any and all beauty trends you’ve been thinking about but haven’t quite gotten around to. Aside from the fact that the year is almost out (and oh, what a year it’s been), this is a season where stress seems to reach its peak and the demands of life tend to pile up. I don’t know about you, but nothing helps me take my mind off the ills of the world and decompress like adding a few new lipsticks to my online beauty cart. The joy and anticipation of dabbling playing with a brand new lip color seems to lift my mood like nothing else – and joy is something we can use a lot more of these days.

Bring the drama with these seven bold lip hues from some of your beauty faves like YSL Beauty, Smashbox, MAC and Maybelline. Whether it’s a deep and moody burgundy red or an otherworldy cosmic blue, there’s something here for every beauty babe that’s not afraid to go all out with her glam.
