Spring Trend: Orange Colored Lips

As the snow melts into springtime blooms it becomes time to transition your deep berry lips for a fresher shade.  Orange colored lips are the newest beauty craze for this spring.  Seen on celebs such as Jessica Alba and Zooey Deschanel, this color is crashing onto the beauty scene.  The color may seem intimidating at first but there is a citrus shade for every pucker.  Skin tones with yellow undertones should stick with the most vivid orange shades while blue undertones should look for more coral or red based tones.  Stick with a sheer shade or a stain versus a true lipstick to prevent looking like a circus extra.  The shade I chose is called “Make it Sparkle” from the CoverGirl lipslicks smoochies collection.  Pair the orange lips with peach blush and a nude eye to complete the look.  A tangerine pout is a fun twist and perfect to reflect the sunny weather!
