Orange or Coral lips are very trendy for spring and summer.
However… orange sounds a little scary, right? Don’t worry, it can be very wearable in the right shade! Leaning more towards a light coral stain or gloss will still allow you to wear the trend while not looking clownish. Try pairing this bolder lip with a neutral eye and glowy cheeks for a fresh look. Try not to be too matchy-matchy with a lot of other pops of orange and let your lips be the star!
Jessica Alba rocked orange lips last year at the Golden Globes. She went bold and the shade her makeup artist chose is perfect for her skin tone!
January Jones picked the perfect shade for her fair skin and kept everything else simple yet flawless.
Bold lips were all over Spring runways this year. Not very wearable but certainly fun inspiration!
Some of my top picks for this trend include…
1. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable balm stain in Rendezvous
2. Revlon lipgloss in Killer Watt
3. Urban Decay lipstick in Streak
4. NYX Round lipstick in Femme
5. Too Faced’s liquefied lipstick in Melted Coral
6. Marc Jacobs lip vinyl in Gypsy
I’ve included all kinds of brands and shades to fit different skin tones and budgets! From very bold to a more subtle gloss, anyone can wear this trend. Please let me know your favorite coral gloss and how you wear it in the comments.
Good luck mamas, and until next time, stay beautiful!

I was born and raised in Maryland but I lived with my husband, Josh, in Iowa for 10 years while he finished undergrad then med school. We then moved to Vermont in 2012 for his residency and I have since fallen in love! It will be very hard to leave! We have a 2.5 year old daughter, Flor, and one grumpy dachshund. I enjoy Vermont’s summers the most, especially the lake. In my free time, I enjoy walking, reading, gardening, and crocheting.
