LIPS IN BLOOM
When flowers spring up, it’s time to make your lips pop. Try the hottest colors of the season, and play with a few formula or finish. These are the hues you can’t do without.
Orange
Like Dreamsicles, orange color peaks in summer. It’s a bold shade that marches to its own beat, so find your own original way to wear it. Try a lip paint topped with gloss for a juicy effect. Go for ombre (darker color on your bottom lip, lighter on top). Or pick a glam metallic luster to amp it up even more.

Pink
A touch of pink, a twist of romance. Once just for shy girls, pink is now the ‘it’ color for anyone that loves a soft, flirty look. Choose a muted bubblegum hue – looks great with a soft pink blush and shimmery eye shadow. Pick a finish, from slick liquid to modern matte, depending on your mood. And remember: Pink is a lot more versatile than you think.

Magenta
More daring than pink, less traditional than red, this color is a rebel. If you’re not used to going bright, here’s a tip: Mix your lip color with clear lip balm then blend with your finger or a brush. Play with intensity until you have a shade that feels right. For a full-on magenta lip, use a liner to perfect your cupid’s bow first – a bold lip deserves to be shaped just so.

Violet
Hyper-pigmented violets are big right now. And the best have an artful metallic edge – definitely for night play. When you do a bold violet, keep the rest of your makeup minimal – clean cheeks and a soft, smoky eye. And remember: Purple lip color can make your lips look smaller, so put a dab of gloss on the center of your pout to create the look of fullness.
