Thrive Causemetics just brought back a whole lineup of berry-toned makeup, and this is not one of those blink-and-it-is-gone seasonal drops.
The brand says its Winter Berries shades are back by popular demand and are now permanent. Permanent. That is the part that matters, because finding the exact berry lip color you love and then watching it disappear after six weeks is a tiny, specific kind of betrayal.
The Winter Berries Collection Covers Eyes, Cheeks, Lashes, and Lips
This is a coordinated collection, not one lonely lipstick wearing a holiday name tag.
The lineup includes the Brilliant Eye Brightener in Cindy, a sugar-plum shimmer; Liquid Lash Extensions Tubing Mascara in Elena, a berry-brown shade; Triple Threat Blush Stick in Tessa, a rich berry; EmpowerMatte Precision Lipstick Crayon in Rosa, a deep berry; Sheer Strength Hydrating Shine Lip Tint in Rowan; and Sheer Strength Lip-Plumping Peptide Gloss in Liliana.
Prices currently range from $26 to $36 per product on Thrive Causemetics’ website. The brand is also selling coordinated sets if you want the whole monochromatic situation without having to pretend you enjoy choosing between six nearly identical shades on a screen.
The Berry-Brown Mascara Is Doing a Lot of Work Here
The lip colors are obviously the stars, but Elena, the berry-brown tubing mascara, might be the sneakiest good idea in the collection.
Black mascara can feel like a lot when the rest of the look is soft and rosy. A berry-brown version keeps the definition while making the entire face look intentional. Add Tessa on the cheeks and one of the deep berry lip options, and suddenly “I bought makeup because the fruit in the photo looked pretty” becomes a legitimate color story.
Thrive also built several complete looks around the shades, from an everyday “Berry Chic” combination to a more dramatic “Berry Glam” version. You can copy one of those, or you can do what most of us do and use the same three products until the lettering rubs off the tubes.
The Best Part Is That These Shades Are Staying
According to Thrive Causemetics, Cindy is back and the returning winter berry shades are now permanent. That makes this collection much less annoying than a typical seasonal beauty launch.
The Winter Berries Collection is available now through Thrive Causemetics. And if you are still emotionally committed to fall flavors, the brand also recently brought back its Pumpkin Spice Latte lip treatment.
Berry makeup for winter. Pumpkin spice for your lips. Apparently our faces have a full seasonal menu now.
