Marine Life: Beach Beauty Essentials 4

CORAL LIPSTICK In my experience there are two kinds of women, those who abhor coral lipstick and those who love it! Ironically, coral lipstick comes in many shades, which make it possible for any person to find a shade of coral to suit them.

So what color exactly is coral? It’s not orange, it’s not red, and it’s not pink but, rather a delicate combination of all three. It can be deep and intense or soft and pastel-like. It’s that color that elicits a double take every time. Because coral is such a special color it is often easier to wear than reds or oranges. It almost always evokes aquatic luster or springtime flora, and instantly imbues the wearer with an aura of power. For a great nautical inspired look try a bright coral worn against bronzed and flawless skin. Singer Ashanti pulled the look off with real glamour recently.

Finding a great coral lipstick to suit you is definitely going to take a bit of trial and error but who says you can’t have fun finding it! Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick in Sari Dore is a wonderful, easy to wear shade that will flatter many skin tones and has a fabulous, smooth formulation! Thankfully, pretty much every make-up line makes a coral lipstick so you’re bound to find one you’ll feel you can take home. Put on your coral lipstick over a coral lip liner if you want a bold and defined look. I think, however, that applying the color directly from the tube to your lips provides a more modern, supple lip. Dabbing the color on or swooping it across the lips is a great way to apply. Gently touching your fingers along the crest and outline of your lips will help to modernize and soften the look. Now what kind of woman are you?
