Hello Readers : )
Summer is now and so and its the perfect time to pull out the bright, fun lip colors! : )
Reds/Oranges
For a night out, or simply keeping it classy, a red lip is always the best. Here are some that are my favorite : )
Revlon's Super Lustrous Lipstick in 440 Cherries in the Snow
Despite
the name, this is a gorgeous, classic red. Like most of Revlon's lip
products, this feels amazing on the lips, fades evenly, and applies
easily. This red is a cool toned, true red with a slight pink undertone
that would look great on all skin tones. Its a great red for anytime of
the summer. ^.^
For a more brighter red, try
Revlon's Super Lustrous Lipstick in 830 Rich Girl Red.
This
is a brighter, more sheer red, and more warm than the cherries in the
snow one. It has the same texture, but is sure, while the other one is
more pigmented. It gives off a glossier look, while the darker one is
more satiny.
For a much more orange shade, try
Chosungah22 Flavorful lipstick in Jello Orange.
This is a true orange color, with a slight yellow undertone. This
lipstick can be quite bright, and so blotting the lips after application
will sheer out the color, but also take away the unflattering glossy
sheen when too much product is applied. Blotting your lips will also
give it more of a stain appearance, with looks very fun and summer-y. : )
Pinks/Purples
The next two shades are from the same line of lipsticks, and that is
L'Oreal's Color Riche lipsticks in 171 Pink Cashmere and 175 Violet Chiffon.
Both apply sheer with build-able color and are very easy to apply to
the lips. The pink cashmere one is much cooler in tone than the
packaging suggest, but is a beautiful pink with blue undertones. The
violet one, although a rather cool purple on the packaging, is actually a
very true lilac purple. Its very fun but because its sheer, is very
wearable and my favorite out of these two.
Next, for a more pigmented cool-toned pink, try
Pixi Shea Butter Lip Balm in Pixi Pink. Its a very fun pink color for summer, and is very easy to apply, given it is a lip balm.
For a more purple toned lip balm, try
Almay's Smart Shade Butter Kiss in Berry-Light. I did a more in-depth review
here.
For a lip product that would last through a very hot day, try
Mirenesse Mattifinity Lip Rouge in 8. Sydney.
This
is actually really easy to apply, though I do suggest giving it some
time to dry so it can set and won't budge. The color is a very dark
magenta, with a slight red tone. Its cool, its bright, and its perfect
for summer nights :D
Lipglosses
Revlon's Super Lustrous lipgloss in 225, Berry Allure is
a very glossy, bright purple with warm pink undertones. I its a gloss,
but is not sticky, and is a glossier version of the Mirenesse lip rouge,
but with a more purple tone to it. This can be worn sheer, or build up
for more intensity.
Lastly, for a 'barely there' kind of makeup day, there is
Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Opal. This
is a beautiful medium nude shade, with slight gold shimmer. Worn for
the day, or out at night with a smokey eye, this lipgloss is the perfect
summer lip product. : )
So, those are the lip products I recommend for summer, thank you reading! : )
