Put some Pink in your pout!:)

Spring is almost upon us, so in addition to creating a new wardrobe, you may want to give your makeup a seasonal overhaul as well. So, what about pink lipstick? You may be thinking, 'my skin is too dark for that--I'll never be able to pull it off!' Not so--there are plenty of great companies that offer pink glosses and lipsticks that are great with any complexion.Check 'em out--after all, we support all things pink around here:)

NYX "Paris" OK, first, let me just say, you won't pay more than $5 for this lipstick. That alone should be reason to at least try it:) This light pink shade is perfect for warm skin tones, and has a barely-there tint that will give your whole face a healthy glow. You can wear it with a smoky eye to balance out your look, or with nude eyeshadow to complete your fresh-faced them. To make the lipstick even more sheer, brush on a little shea butter before putting this lipstick on to condition your lips and keep the color on longer.

Revlon "Stormy Pink" This purplish-pink lipstick is the perfect pout companion for both cool and warm skin tones. Line your lips in a beige shade to keep the lipstick on longer and bring more attention to this slightly magenta hue. A baby pink plush or face bronzer and long lashes will make you springtime pretty. You can find this lipstick for about $10 at your local drug store. For a matte look, dab a little concealer on your lips before you apply the lipstick.

MAC "Girl About Town" This deep pink lipstick should be the feature of your look. Understated eyes with black or dark brown liner and a bone-colored eyeshadow will make this aubergine-tinted lipstick stand out. The creamy texture makes your pout appear conditioned (and, let's face it, kissable;)). Women with cool undertones should add this to their makeup bags to make their faces look bright and refreshed.





So, there you have it:) Once you try these shades out (and you know you want to) send me your pics so I can post them. And of course, I'll be adding some pics from my pink lipstick experiments as well. Now go--be fabulous:)
