One of the many memories I have of my grandmother involves lipstick. She loved AVON and had a bunch of those tiny lipsticks in her bathroom. I used to lock myself in her bathroom and try out all of the colors. She was the blog’s first sponsor, lol. Granny and I agree – it’s time to refresh that makeup bag with some of the spring’s best lipstick colors for women over 50!

Nothing brightens up your face (and your mood) like a fresh swipe of lipstick—and if you’ve been sticking with the same shade for years, let’s shake things up. Whether you love pinks, corals, nudes, or a bold red lipstick, I’ve got something for everyone. (Plus, there are other options than the one shown if you like the brand but not the color.) These picks not only have fabulous color payoff, but they’re also packed with hydration, vitamin E, and shea butter to keep our mature lips looking soft and smooth. Plus, lipstick is an affordable way to spruce things up. Let’s dive in!

I like to change my lipstick colors frequently. However, I’ve been using this trio for about a month, and I have no desire to change it anytime soon. I’m using Merit Beauty’s Signature Lip Liner in the color Coupe. Then, I use Signature Lip Lightweight Lipstick, a satin, extremely creamy lipstick, and finish with Shade Slick Tinted Lip Oil in Pointelle for added sheen. Merit is a clean beauty company, and I’ve been slowly incorporating more of their products into my routine.
