Out With The Red, In With The Pink! - Stylehive

Spring's strong lip isn't a quintessential shade of red. It's a sweet shade of pink.

And just about any pink fits the bill. Cotton candy, ripe raspberry, pink zinfandel, lush bouganvillea or frosted fuschia.

Pink is one of those glorious colors that boasts a broad range of tones and saturation, so there is truly something for everyone. Given this, there is simply no excuse for not giving pink lips a chance this Spring... which is right now!

Make pink lips work for you by keeping the rest of your makeup minimal and understated. Pink lips can be as strong of a statement as red lips... so don't force the rest of your face to compete.

Most importantly, if you're going to cast aside your usual Red or Nude lipsticks... choose your pink wisely. With so many pinks to choose from, it may seem a daunting task... but the rewards, so sweet.

Choose your pink based on your skintone. If you're a warm-toned girl, there's coral-based pinks or pinks with a golden highlight that will simply make you glow. If you're a cool toned girl then you're the luckiest of all... you can wear the flamboyant magentas and vivid lilac-pinks extremely well. Most of us fall somewhere in the neutral range, and nude pinks with a yummy dose of baby-girl pink, fawn and buff tones give us that holy grail that we're always looking for... "your lips but better". When you find that perfect pink, it simply gives your entire face a much-needed sparkle... and next thing you know, if you're anything like me... you'll be reaching for the faux demi lashes in a snap!
