The Lipstick of Summer: Coral

coral lipstick

I have exactly one tube of coral lipstick. Β I wear it maybe once or twice a summer and only on occasions when I am feeling bold or adventurous. Β I am not sure where the hesitation comes from, but I find coral to be a brighter color to wear thanΒ red. Β Sometimes I feel the need to talk myself up to slathering on a layer….a problem I never have when it comes to wearing hot pink?

But apart from my own oddities, coral truly is the happiest of colors to wear during the summer months. Β It speaks of sun, health, and (in my case) courage! Β But just like many colors, not every shade of coral works on every skin shade. Β You have to play around a bit to find that perfect blend which adds to your overall glow… not the other way around.

To help you on your search, I have found four lovely shades of coral in differing color tones, finishes, and prices! Β I hope they encourage you (as they have me) to embrace this happy, “beachy” color!
