It’s not sundresses or cut-out
sandals which have us got us excited for the summer but sultry shades of
lipstick. It’s time to bust out the brightest colours of the rainbow with hot
shades of pink, purple and peach. Store the kohl eyeliner and vampy blushers
away and get radiant. Discover the hottest lipstick shades for S/S ’15:
Raspberry Pie by Revlon
We adore this knockout shade of
bright pink. The lip butter formula is super moisturising, like a pigmented lip
balm. The consistency is glossy and thick making lips appear voluminous and
full of life. Leave the rest of your face natural save for a wand of mascara
and a light base of foundation.
Peach Blossom by MAC
This nudey-peach shade comes from
MAC’s cremesheen collection- another super hydrating formula perfect for
combatting the dryness brought on by heat from the sun. This shade is ideal for
a day in the office when you want to feel summery but not overdone. Complement
your complexion with a pinky-peach blusher such as Benefit’s Hervana. Sweep over the apples of your cheeks for a
fresh, au naturel look.
Electric Orange by Maybelline
Orange is a colour that divides
opinion. Unlike pinks, peaches and purples, orange is unmistakably bold and
demands attention. If you dare to apply this lip shade then go matchy-matchy
with a similar coloured outfit or make your lips pop by wearing all black.
The honey nectar formula nourishes
lips and the appearance is bright and glossy. Some orange shades can be too in
your face but this one manages to avoid looking garish. Orange looks great
paired against olive skin so invest in a good bronzer to give your face that
glowing goddess look.
Lavender by Barry M
Barry M is known for his
theatrical make-up shades. Browsing the collection it’s not unusual to spot sun
yellow nail polish and neon green eyeliner, so this lilac shade of lipstick
hardly a shocker. Ideal for spring, the formula is understated and complements
pale skin perfectly. The consistency is silky and the solution is enriched with
natural moisturiser for a smooth finish.
Go pastel crazy by painting your
nails mint green and teaming the look with a baby pink outfit.
Mazette by Dior
Winter calls for deep shades of
red and berry, but come the summer you want to achieve the perfect marriage of
red and pink. This shade is the perfect combination of both. Almost watermelon
in appearance, the voluptuous formula moisturises and reshapes the lips and the
colour is luxuriously rich.
