During the throes of a St. Louis summer, the last thing any girl wants is to pile on her makeup and later find it pooling up her pores. Sometimes, all you need is a great tinted moisturizer, a little mascara, and the perfect shade of rogue—but finding the right bold lipstick hue can be a challenge. From fuchsia to magenta, here is a quick guide to picking the right brights for your lips.
Nars: Heat Wave
Perfect for fair-skinned beauties, Nars’ Heat Wave lipstick is the go-to orange shade this season. Heat Wave’s velvety finish gives your lips a full finish, leaving your lips looking plump and perfectly defined. This is definitely a show-stopping color that brightens up even the lightest of complexions.
MAC: Impassioned
MAC’s Impassioned lipstick is a great combo color. Mixing fuchsia, orange, and a hint of red, Impassioned is a bold color sure to get you noticed. It works great for both day and night looks, thanks to its versatile color you can dress up or down.
Maybelline: Fuchsia Flash
If you're in the market for a pink with a punch, look no further than Maybelline's Fuchsia Flash. It's a beautiful pink that doesn't come off as Barbie-esque. A great daytime color, rock Fuchsia Flash anywhere from the office to a hot date.
Tom Ford: Cherry Lush
Every woman needs a red in her lipstick lineup. So when I found out that Tom Ford had a makeup line, I knew he would come through in quality and color options. Cherry Lush is a great go-to red lipstick that compliments almost every skin tone. Its long lasting and moisturizing combo make this designer lip color a mini beauty investment that is sure to pay off.
Victoria's Secret: Color Drama Lipstick in Shiver
Purple isn't usually the first shade that comes to mind when on the hunt for a lipstick that is both practical and pretty. But fear not, lipstick-lovers. Victoria Secret's Shiver lip color has just enough pink and purple tones to make it extremely wearable and still give you a beautiful pop of color without being overwhelming. The pink tones down any harsh purple pigments, while the hint of purple brings an unexpected edge. And who doesn't want a lipstick that gives you the best of both worlds?
