Lipstick trends 2026

90s-meets-00s with a modern twist

The ‘90s influence has been clear in fashion and beauty for a few years now, along with a more recent sprinkling of the ‘00s. This pairing is set to shape next year’s best lipstick trends: “We’re seeing this huge, nostalgic, Y2K–90s [influence] meeting a modern look,” says Lisa. “I think we’re going to see a lot of lip liner still in mauves and browns with a defined shape, and it’s still going to be really glossy and build volume.”

She adds that nude and pastel glosses are also coming into the mix, but “that lip liner just gives it some kind of weight.”
