5 Lipstick Colors We Can’t Live Without For Spring

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Northwestern chapter.

If you’re feeling casual… Naughty Nude by Too Faced

This is the perfect mix of peach, pink and nude. Wear it with minimal makeup to class or keep focus on the eyes with a swipe of this demure shade and coats and coats (and coats and coats…) of mascara.

If you’re feeling girly… Quinta by Bite

A step up from Naughty Nude, Quinta remains subtle enough for class or work without washing you out. And forget the lip balm! Bite’s Luminous Créme formula will keep your lips hydrated when spring weather starts to remind us a little too much of Chiberia.

If you’re feeling creative… Tutti Frutti by Revlon   

Actually, yes you can wear orange lipstick. Shockingly, orange lipstick can be one of the most universally flattering tones. It brightens up your face but avoids the formalness or shock factor of a red lip. Orange you glad you branched out! (sorry…)

If you’re feeling classic…Dragon Girl by Nars

Can’t go wrong with the original. Skip fall and winter’s deep burgundy shades. Instead, opt for a bright red that will stand out against lighter spring colors. Dragon Girl’s bright cherry red tone can be worn matte, or add a gloss for nighttime shine.

If you’re feeling bold… Pourpre Preview by YSL

This bright violet keeps the color of the year in the mix, while keeping it light and fresh for spring. Opt for one swipe if you just want a stain, adding more to up the gloss and vibrancy.  Plus, it’s super flattering on all skin tones, especially those of you with olive to dark hues.
