Spring is the time to go into your lipstick collection and dig out some old favorites. Sheer, bright, shimmery — whatever the formula may be, make sure you show your corals, pinks and nudes some love.
You can get an idea of what it may look like on the lips:
Maybelline Color Whisper | 40 Orange Attitude: On the first day of Spring, this was the first color I wore on my lips. I love orangey/peachy tones since I have yellow undertones in my complexion.
Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter | 095 Creme Brulee: This is not normally a color I’d gravitate towards, but once I put it on with some heavy eye makeup, it was the perfect shimmery light brown nude lippie. I feel that this shade could be worn with both heavy and light makeup.
Rimmel Moisture Renew | 120 Coral Shimmer: I never finish up lipsticks — Let’s just say this is my second tube of Coral Shimmer! This lippie is great for everyday use since the color isn’t bright, the color is sheer and the shimmer isn’t noticeable on the lips. Love it!
Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids | 870 Shocking Coral: This is one of the brightest lippies out of the five. Make sure to exfoliate your lips before applying this color as it will accentuate dry patches. Even though it’s named Shocking Coral, it leans more bright coral/pink than coral.
CoverGirl Lip Perfection Lipstick | 405 Fairytale: This is from the same line as Spellbound. The drying formula makes the color stay all day long with minimal touch-ups.
What is your go to Spring lippie?
The Orange Whisper lipstick by Maybelline really looks lovely on you and complements your colouring really well! I have a slight yellow undertone too so I may have to go and check that one out! xx

They all look really good, but Orange Attitude is my fave! Looks gorgeous on you. I love orange lippies for summer, too.
Clinique Citrus Rose and MAC Fanfare were faves of mine last summer.

I see you’re a major coral fan too! I love Fairytale though, too bad it’s drying. But sounds like it’s still worth checking out!

Oh no it still is worth checking out for its price and pigmentation. Of course you know I’m a coral fan! Fairytale is a fun bright lippie.

Love Rimmel Coral Shimmer and Mayblline Orange Attitude on you! Out of your list I only HAD the Revlon Lip Butter in Creme Brulee – but I gave it away as it wasn’t too flattering on me – too brown.
I’m really lame when it comes to lip colour… I hardly ever apply any but I’m making a real effort lately! The lip colour I’m currently enjoying is from Burt’s Bees in their lip shimmers line, the shade is called Apricot, it’s a wash of peach. I guess it’s better than just clear balm.

Thank you! I love those shades. I think the creme brulee looks nice in person, but in my photo it came off dead looking since I put it next to such vibrant colors. But it’s ok. Those burt’s bees lip shades are great! I’ve tried hibiscus. Apricot sounds lovely 🙂
