Jam Lips Are Having An It-Girl Moment In Time for the Summer Season
The latest edible beauty trend focuses on hydration and shine.

There's a new edible beauty trend in town, and it's called jam lips. Not to be confused with the jelly lips trend during the spring season, jam lips step away from a sheer and glazed look finish and lean into reddish, brown, and burgundy hues. The products used to achieve the jam lips look do have a glossy finish, but the gloss doesn't overpower the jam-hued tones.
The trend is perfect for the summertime and acts as a transition into the heavier berry tones seen in the fall and winter seasons. There's still a lightweight quality in the jam colors that makes them wearable in the warmer weather. To achieve this latest beauty trend, you'll want to embrace the raspberry hues and toasted brown tones, and the look can be either a glossy or a matte finish, depending on the wearer's preference. For a glossy finish, lip oils or glosses are ideal, like the Clinique Pop Lip + Cheek Oil in Black Honey or the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Oil Luminizing Lip Oil 'N Gloss. For a subtle, sheer finish, lip balms are the best option, like the Le Chouchou Lip Softening Balm or the Mario Badescu Acai and Vanilla Lip Balm.
When going for a full matte finish, this requires a matte lipstick or a mattifying lip gloss. It's important that when looking for the right products to partake in this trend that they also help maintain the hydration for your lips. Remember: Whether it's skincare, body care, or lip care, hydration is always key.
The best thing about beauty trends is that they can be revamped or reimagined for every season. Keep scrolling for a list of our favorite products to achieve this spring and summer's jam lips trend.
