Thinking Pink - Spring Lip Trend


With Spring right around the corner, it is time to start thinking about new clothes, new hair and new lipstick that will help celebrate the new season. One of the hot makeup trends that will come in with Spring 2011 is pink lipstick! Pink has always been a favorite color for women because it is the one color so closely tied with femininity. As an added bonus, just about everybody looks good in pink and can find a perfect pink lip color that pops on their pout. Pink lips can be flirty and fun or downright glamorous.

A great way to wear pink for the daytime is by getting a darker pink color and applying it as a stain. Then, take a shiny clear gloss and apply it on top of the stain. So pretty! This natural look is best without a lip liner, but if you must, make sure it is very neutral. If you want a more natural look, choose a pink that enhances the natural color of your lips just slightly, skip the gloss and go.

For pink at night, you can be a little more daring with a very bright fuchsia or orchid color. Put some concealer on your lips to even out the color. Line your lips with a lip pencil in a similar shade, then apply the lipstick. A dab of shimmery gloss in the center of the lips will add some fullness and shine and make your lips the center of attention. There are great glosses for nighttime wear with gold or silver shimmer in them, and these will really amp up your hot pink lip colors.

So when you see the tulips and crocuses making their Spring appearance, think about how pretty these pinks shades will look on you! Think pink!
