There's nothing like spring to make you want to overhaul your makeup routine, whether that means streamlining it or simply redefining it with brand-new looks.

If the latter is more up your alley, look no further than lip products. For the record, we're all for a dramatic seasonal hair color change, but trying out a new lipstick or lip gloss is certainly less of a commitment — in both time and money.

As for what lip looks to try this year? Keep reading to check out three ideas that will instantly refresh your look in just a swipe or two.

A High-Shine Glossy Lip

What goes better with a '90s- and early-2000s-inspired outfit than some lip gloss? This lip product has only gotten better since then too. (We're talking about better high-shine finishes and way less stickiness!) If you're looking for a classic clear version that you can wear by itself or over a pigmented lipstick, reach for the e.l.f. Cosmetics Lip Lacquer in Clear ($3). On top of providing that covetable high-shine finish, it's infused with vitamins to help nourish the delicate skin on the lips.

Another great option to try this spring is the e.l.f. Cosmetics Lip Plumping Gloss ($7). Available in 10 shades, the formula works to instantly plump up the lips and leaves behind an impressive shine.

A "Bitten" Lip

For that "bitten" lip look, look no further than a lip stain. Using a lip stain also ensures the pigment will stay put throughout the day. For that look, pick up the e.l.f. Cosmetics Glossy Lip Stain ($6). The super-popular, newly launched formula is available in eight shades and gives lips a dose of sheer color with a slightly glossy finish. Once the gloss wears away, you're left with a pretty stain.

A Bright and Bold Lip

Spring is the perfect time to switch up your lip routine with bright and cheery colors. Instead of your go-to wine-hued lippy, try out a red-orange shade, like the Well People Optimist Lipstick in Brave ($16). The lipstick formula, which is available in eight shades, provides lips with buildable color in a satin finish. It's also made with sunflower-seed wax and castor-seed oil to moisturize and nourish lips.

If you want something with a little less pigment, reach for the e.l.f. Cosmetics Sheer Slick Lipstick ($3). This formula also delivers a slight sheen and can be purchased in eight shades.
