Dewy Petal Lips: The Fresh Spring Lip Look You’ll Be Obsessed With

Spring is approaching, which means it’s time to swap heavy winter mattes for something softer and fresher. Dewy petal lips are the go-to look this season—hydrating, sheer, with a touch of glow. Think of it as the lip version of a spring: delicate and effortlessly pretty.

This look is all about lips that appear naturally flushed and moisturized, like you just bit into a juicy berry. All you need is a lightweight rosy lipstick and a hint of gloss to add dimension without looking overdone. The result? Soft, plump lips with a subtle pop of color perfect for the season. Whether you're heading to brunch, a picnic, or just want a fresh, easy way to liven up your makeup, this trend is an easy go-to for spring.

How to Get Dewy Petal Lips

1. Hydrate Your Lips

Soft, smooth lips make all the difference. Keep them hydrated with a gentle lip scrub or a lightweight lip balm.

2. Swipe on a Rosy Lip Color

A soft pink or berry-stained satin lipstick is essential for achieving this look. We think Caviar Hydra-Creme Lipstick in 689 Le Marais is the perfect medium warm pink for spring. If you prefer a juicy red, 571 Rue De Rivoli works too! Apply a small amount to the center of your lips, then use your fingers to blur the edges for that diffused, petal-like effect. This gives you that naturally flushed, "my lips but better" look.

3. Blot and Layer for That Just-Bitten Stain

Lightly wipe off the first coat with a tissue, then apply another small amount for the second coat. This keeps the color vibrant without your lips feeling too heavy.

4. Add a Glossy Touch (But Make It Subtle)

To get that dewy look, apply a tiny amount of sheer lip gloss onto the center of your lips. If you applied pink lipstick, go in with the Laura Mercier Lip Glacé in the shade 125 Rosé to enhance the soft pink glow. If you chose red, apply 190 Rose Syrup for a glossy, rosy touch.

What to Pair with Dewy Petal Lips

What's the best about this style? It complements everything. However, to achieve that carefree, springtime glow, combine it with:

• Fresh, dewy skin: Try Skin Tint Natural Dewy Tinted Moisturizer for lightweight coverage that lets your natural glow shine through.
• Soft pink blush: A creamy blush keeps the look youthful!
• Bright eyeshadow: A neutral, shimmery shade of Caviar Stick Eye Shadow on your lids ties everything together.
