If you haven't heard, this beachy hue is making waves for summer 2011. It's bold and bright and, better yet, brings out the best in your skin tone. From pinkish-peach to orangey-red, the color is fresh and youthful. But don't overdo it. Wearing all-over coral shades is a no-no, but highlighting one feature in coral can be beautiful. So perhaps you might wear a coral lipstick with a neutral eye or a pop of coral blush with a nude lip. Here, a guide to the best of coral lips and cheeks the season has to offer.
Luscious Lips
Get the glossiest lips around with Lorac Multiplex 3-D Lip Gloss in Untamed. This unique formula contains holographic pigments for multidimensional, high-lacquer shine and long-lasting color. Antioxidants nourish and protect while the creamy, moist texture helps lips look silky-smooth. Your pout will come to life in 3-D.
Hint of Tint
ULTA Hydroshine Lip Gel in Papaya looks intense, but its effect is subtle. The gel formula glides effortlessly along lips to provide moisture and shine while imparting a subtle wash of color. Hydrators like jojoba oil, apricot kernel seed oil and vitamin C keep lips soft and supple.
Cheeky Touch
Cheeks, meet your new best friend. Smashbox Blush Rush in Chiffon is not your grandma's rouge. The powdery formula imparts long-wear color that wakes up your skin instantly. A swivel, mirrored compact makes touch-ups on the go a cinch.
Forever Flush
Tarte Natural Cheek Stain in Tipsy is that coveted wind-blown flush that never fades. The gel formula not only looks like a natural blush, but it also lasts all day. You get 20 seconds of blending time before it sets. A mix of antioxidant-rich superfruits and vitamins deliver refining, anti-aging and skin-restorative benefits with each application.
