The Best Beautycounter Lipstick for Spring & Summer

Looking for a new lipstick to enjoy during the warmer weather? These Beautycounter lipsticks are buildable, creamy, feel like a balm on your lips, & are the best shades for Spring & Summer!

Beautycounter Sheer Lipstick

If you’re looking for a pretty lipstick for Spring & Summer, look no further because I’m sharing 5 of my favorite Beautycounter Sheer Lipstick shades! I always enjoy completing my makeup with a lip product, either a lip gloss or lipstick – I feel naked without something on my lips haha! What I love most about this specific Beautycounter lipstick is that it’s kinda like a hybrid between a hydrating lip balm & the buildable color pigment of a lipstick. These Sheer Lipsticks really are the best of both worlds!

This month over on my IG (you can find me at @madi_rowan) I did a week-long makeup series featuring each of the shades in this post. I called it my Spring Lipstick Series & saved everything to a story highlight if you want to watch me going through the application process for the five Spring makeup looks included in this post.

I wanted to feature the best Beautycounter lipstick shades for Spring & Summer as well as, showing how I’d compliment each shade with a different Cheeky Clean Cream Blush & Lid Glow Cream Shadow. Makeup is something that I personally really enjoy playing around with. My goal with this Spring Makeup Series was to encourage anyone watching to play around with makeup, try different shade combos, step outside of your normal makeup comfort zone, & simply just gain more confidence using their products.

Beautycounter Lipstick

I love Beautycounter for all things clean beauty & skincare because I know I can trust them regarding all things safety, transparency, third party testing, & more. Did you know Beautycounter bans over 1,800 harmful or questions ingredients from all product formulations? You can read more about the ways Beautycounter goes above & beyond just being another clean beauty brand here!

Beautycounter offers a few lip products including the Sheer Genius Conditioning Lipstick (which I’m featuring in this post), the Color Intense Lipstick (for anyone looking for bolder pigment), the Beyond Gloss (scented with ethically sourced Vanilla), the Lip Conditioner (a lip balm that comes in two scents, & the Jellies (a fun “clean” take on 90’s lipgloss).

I’m a true lover of lip products, so of course I love ALL of them but the two I use most in my everyday makeup are the Beautycounter Sheer Lipsticks & the Beyond Gloss. I really love the shade selection of both products & I love the way the formulas wear throughout the day. My lips never feel dried out or crusty – a HUGE pet peeve of mine! And neither of the formulas are sticky!

Why is Clean Lipstick Important?

Let’s get real for a second…if you’re wearing lipstick, some of it is going in your mouth. I think anyone who has ever worn lipstick knows this. Not intentionally (obviously) but hey, it happens!

Did you know that frequent lipstick wearers may consume 4 POUNDS of lipstick in their lifetime?! And that’s on the lower end of the spectrum…honestly, it could be MORE! That alone sounds pretty awful haha, but let’s break it down further. The skin on your lips is super thin, which allows them to really soak in whatever you’re applying on them – GOOD or BAD.

Did you know an FDA study has found lead in hundreds of lipsticks at levels up to 7.19ppm. Five of the 10 most lead-contaminated brands in the FDA study are made by L’Oreal USA. Lead is a neurotoxin & unfortunately a common ingredient in lipstick. There is never a “safe” amount of lead or heavy metals in a lipstick. Remember, the skin on our lips is so thin & we unintentionally end up ingesting a portion of what we apply on our lips. I don’t know about you, but I prefer my lipstick to be free of those worries.

Conventional lipsticks may also contain mineral oil, fragrance, parabens, PEG-compounds, BHT, & more. Want to read about why it’s smart to learn more about the ingredients found in your beauty products? Check out this post!

Beautycounter Sheer Lipstick Review

Okay, here’s why I can’t get enough of Beautycounter’s Sheer Lipstick. It’s a creamy & buildable lipstick that seriously feels like a hydrating lip balm once you apply it. It truly glides on your lips! I find it to be a perfect everyday lipstick thanks to the sheer wash of color, buildable formula, & light-catching sheen. Thanks to a blend of botanical waxes & sustainably derived jojoba esters, the formula of the Sheer Lipstick is luxe, yet weightless. Trust me, you’ll want one in every purse!

Sheer Lipstick Benefits:

  • Buildable Color: These Beautycounter lipsticks feature hardworking CleanCoat pigments in moisture-rich castor oil which delivers an even coat of pigment & light-catching sheen to your lips.
  • Weightless Wear: Once you apply your Sheer Lipstick, I swear it feels like you’re wearing a hydrating balm! The formula provides weightless coverage without sacrificing any creaminess or pigment payoff.
  • Lip-Loving Ingredients: So not only will these lipsticks provide gorgeous pigment, but the formula will simultaneously soothe & condition your lips with every swipe. This is due to Beautycounter’s SmartWax Botanical Blend, which is a conditioning blend of emollients & plant-based waxes to help lock in moisture.

Featured Ingredients:

  • Responsibly Sourced Vanilla: Beautycounter has formulated the gorgeous sheer lipstick shades with ECOCERT-certified organic vanilla from a woman-owned farm in Madagascar. The sweet vanilla makes up the amazing scent of the lipstick.
  • Jojoba Esters: These esters are sustainably sourced & native to South America. They are plant-based emollients that melt into the lips & transform into a balmy texture with a polished sheen.
