Someone recently asked what's the new lip shade for the upcoming season. Palest coral and soft pinks make the prettiest pouts this spring and summer, just like a fresh bouquet of peonies brightens any room. Of course I have a few suggestions. Click the links for pictures.
- Bare Escentuals Buxom Lip Cream in Creamsicle ~ easy lip gloss type applicator
- Fresh Sugar Coral Tinted Lip Treatment ~ best part is it's SPF 15
- Benefit Posietint ~ doubles as a cheek stain in a pretty poppy shade
- MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner in Fuchsia Fix ~ don't let the "fuchsia" scare you away. I wear this one all the time. It's perfectly sheer and SPF 15
- Urban Decay Super Saturated High Gloss in Lovechild ~ stain like effect with stay power
All 5 of the products listed above are light, sheer lip colors. Perfect for summer wearing when you don't want to cover too much of anything.
Hot tip: If you are someone that likes a more opaque look you might want to try applying a pale coral or pink lip liner followed by a gloss or translucent lip conditioner on top. This way your color has more punch and hold (lip liner has better wear time than lipstick) but you're keeping that spring/summer moisturized look. *See hot lips below ;)
