1. Lips Too Rough?

Do it like the French and smooth your kisser with a lip polish that’s vegan, organic, and uses natural fragrance. French Girl Organics Rose Lip Polish, $20, Anthropologie.

2. For Shine

Put some pep in your pucker with this high-gloss, high-pigment lipstick, which has the added benefit of hyaluronic acid.
