Catch the Coral Craze

The hottest new color for summer is a little bit red, a little bit orange and a whole lot of glam

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.
