We're calling it, 2025 is the year of the lip oil. Yes, lipsticks are still in the game. After all, NARS paid homage to its first-ever line of 12 lipsticks from 1994 with the reimagined Explicit Lipsticks, £34, while MAC Cosmetics listened to the calls of beauty buffs and reintroduced its biggest nineties icons with the Nudes Collection.
