Beauty Alert: Coral + Orange Crush

Try coral if you are a little orange shy…And if you are still a little wary, the same rules for applying red go for orange too.  Ease into the orange and coral craze by trying glazes, glosses or balms and tone down the eye makeup for balance.   The results?  A groovy, sunny and super carefree look that says, “I’m ready for Spring”!

Here are my favorite picks sure to brighten your day!

L’oreal Colour Riche in Volcanic– I’ve been wearing this coral-orange colored lipstick for almost a year now.  I love the hue’s versatility.  Surprisingly I can wear this with so many different colors: purple, grey, navy, you name it!               Walgreens,      $9

MAC’s Cosmetics Lip Glass in Lychee Lux–  This is my fall-back lipgloss because it is perfect…Non-sticky, long lasting, shine without the tackiness.  The coral shade with a hint of pink and golden glimmer is perfecto.

Stila Lip and Cheek Stain in Mango Crush– Sheer, juicy blendable color that smells like mango,  in a fun, clickable pen? Sign me up!               ulta.com,     $24

Revlon Moon Drops in Orange Flip– I saw this worn yesterday on Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere and loved the way it looked!   The orange looks really bright in the tube, but translates beautifully.  Bright and definitely orange but not over the top.               CVS,     $9

Nars Love Devotion Lipstick– A lippie in a corally-nude color.  It’s sheer, but you can layer it if you want to go darker.               sephora.com,     $24

And there you have it…Are there any takers on the new Coral/Orange trend?
