Spring is here and it’s time to stash away your fall/winter lip colors…..again. Don’t worry, you can pull them back out in October. I know, every spring we get to hear what the “new” colors are and this year is no different.
Have you noticed that the clothing and makeup trends now are a little reminiscent of the 80’s era? Florescent clothing in the stores and bright makeup back in style. Maybe you should have saved some of your day-glow yellow shorts and hot pink tube tops from 1988.
As a lover of lipstick, I am always pleased to hear about what is happening in the lipstick world. This spring the lipstick trend goes from vivid, bold and bright to muted nude. Most of the emphasis is on matte shades that jump out and grab you with their intensity. The colors are happy and care free.

When going bright and sassy on the lips, make sure that the rest of your makeup is toned down. Pair the nude lipstick with a smoky eye so that your eyes are the focus, not the lips.
Spring and summer is also about looking fresh and clean so lighten up on your heavy foundation and thick powder. Let your skin show.
These colors can be found wherever you buy your favorite makeup. From inexpensive to pricey brands. Why not try some of these beautiful colors? If you absolutely hate it, remember that it comes off with some tissue, it’s not permanent. Makeup is supposed to be fun and expressive. Put your bright lipstick on right now and spread some sunshine!
