Makeup Monday: Spring-Inspired Lip Colors

Spring is in the air, and a new season calls for a new look.

Spring is known for its characteristic bright colors, which just so happen to fit perfectly into your makeup routine – and it all starts with fun, spring-inspired lips.

Soft Pink

Brighter than a nude lip, a soft pink lip color is a spring staple. It is a refreshing jump into all things sweet and pleasant that the season brings. Revlon’s Super Lustrous Lipcolor has the perfect shade for pulling off this subtle lip.

Candy Apple Red

Everyone knows the red lip is a classic look, but it’s also a look that easily transitions with the seasons. Let your red lip pop with a vibrant variation of the shade. Pick a red with a touch of pink to achieve this color, like NYX’s Round Case Lipstick-Cranberry Red.

Fun Coral

Coral made a surge in spring and summer fashion a couple years back, and it’s been one of our favorites ever since. Apply the soft-meets-sassy shade to your lips to capture the essence of spring in a couple quick strokes. For this lip, give Maybelline’s Color Sensational Vivids-Vibrant Mandarin a try.

Deep Berry

Not all spring colors have to be loud, bright and bold. A deep purple-based lip color still matches the freshly grown tulips, but it keeps things calm and sophisticated amidst so many bursts of color. Splurging on Urban Decay’s Sheer Revolution Lipstick won’t make you feel so guilty when it is a color that can be worn through multiple seasons.

Light Fuchsia

Make your lips the center of attention with a bright fuchsia. This lip color is bold and makes a statement, but still has touches of pink to keep the color wearable every day. Try Color Sensational Vivids Lipcolor by Maybelline for a popping purple and pink combination.
