There's nothing like the arrival of Spring that makes me want to put away the darker shades and reach for a coral or tangerine lip color. The color instantly brightens my look and my mood and makes me think of laying on the beach in Saint Tropez or sipping an Aperol spritz on a patio in the Amalfi Coast (both of which entailing plenty of sun protection, of course). Here are three favorites in my current rotation:
1. W3LL People Nudist Colorbalm Stick in No. 1 Coral : the sheerest of the bunch, this one leaves lips with just a slight wash of color, a subtle sheen and a ton of hydration.
2. Ilia Beauty Lipstick in Perfect Day : my go-to lip color - the perfect reddish-coral shade that is great for spring and summer but can be worn year round. Luxury, organic ingredients and a beautiful finish that's right in between glossy and matte. This shade is limited edition so grab it now before it's too late!
3. Kjaer Weis Lip Tint Compact in Sweetness : a gorgeous compact filled with a gorgeous lip tint. This one has the most range of the three: it can go on quite sheer or be layered to achieve a vibrant tangerine. And, the mirrored compact makes touch-ups a breeze when you're on that Saint-Tropez beach or Amalfi Coast patio.
