Red should be a staple lip color in every girl’s makeup collection. It’s the perfect power color to boost your confidence in any situation. Red is always in style or in season, so finding your perfect shade is worth the effort. Beauty Forum addressed that here. Red is also going to be a big deal for Spring, so you’ll definitely want to grab that shade for your statement lip to go with a great thick black liner. Here’s some great choices:

Red:

• E.L.F. Essentials Lipstick in Fearless
  
  
• TooFaced Lip of Luxury Lipstick in Runway Red
  
  
• NARS Semi Matte Lipstick in Jungle Red
  
  
• Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Fire & Ice
   
• ExudeLipstick in Red#1
  
  
• MAC Russian Red
  
  
• Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Red Velvet
  
• NYX Round Lipstick in Snow White

I love the way that orange/coral lips look for the spring and summer! They make a fabulous addition to a glowy sunkissed face. It’s also a very unexpected pop of color that makes any look. Orange and Coral shades can be great for everyday without being too over powering. It’s also a great way to incorporate Pantone’s Color of the Year: Tangerine Tango. Try any of these options below for a great lip.

Orange/Coral:

• MAKE UP FOR EVER Rouge Artist Intense in #40
   
• Bobbi Brown Lip Color in Atomic Orange (As shown in picture above)
   
• Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in Coral
   
• MAC Morange
   
• NYX Round Lipstick in Femme
   
• Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Kiss Me Coral

We’ve already seen the bold statement lips that graced the runways for Spring 2012 and I am ecstatic. I think that Statement Lips are the perfect addition to any look day or night! It’s a great way to stand out, get noticed, and look totally fabulous this season. There are so many variations from fuchsia to tangerine to red that there is a bright color for everyone. It doesn’t have to be an everyday look, but it can be depending on the shade and the rest of your makeup! I thought it would be appropriate to do these in a series, so that I can give you a few options for each color without making each post overwhelming. 

Fuchsia/Hot Pink: 

• MAC Girl About Town
   
• Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Lollipop

• Urban Decay Super Saturated High Gloss Lip Color in Crush
   
• Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Color in Fuchsia Fever

• Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Love That Pink
   
• NYX Soft Matte Lip Creme in Addis Ababa
