As for a spring summer 2010 season: orange is a colour that will bring the attention to your lips. It’s bright, it’s powerful and absolutely trendy. This intense color comes in an array of vibrant hues which is a must for spring. MAC Senior Artist Lynsey Alexander’s advice: “Orange looks best against a nude tanned olive skin with lots of black mascara and little else”.

Orange lips trend has been sported by Scarlett Johansson, Beyoncé and Pixie Lott.
As seen on Prada, Sonia Rykiel, Loewe and Giambattista Valli.

Makeup artists point at earthy tones on the contrary to the vivid orange. Delicate, neutral lips in pastel colours require a great deal of smoothness and moisturization. Shimmering pearl shades are allowed – they give the impression of fuller and bigger lips. Also, a nude lips trend is a great complement to the crazy prints, patterns and colours that are showcased by the designers.

As seen on: Gucci, Jean Paul Gaultier, Dsquared2 and Akris.

Matte-finish lips is a rich and classic option for spring summer 2010 season. The electric red pout looks great with a contrasting pale skin. The intense, full-coverage red lipstick needs a flawless background so don’t forget to use your concealer to hide what should be hidden. Full and defined red lips with a glamorous finish – this is what seduces and rouses.
