Spring-ready mints, grassy pastels and metallic emeralds, pave the way for fantasy and dare. Rich, shimmery and flattering, when placed next to each other, they create a wave of magic. Add to it, some more pop. If you have been shying away from bold lip colours, marsala is a good way to start. It’s subtle, with the right amount of punch. You could pair it with a green eyeshadow to blend in with your single-shade outfit.

ORANGE OOMPH

A quick way to brighten your day...swipe a radiant orange lipstick. Try a dash of vermilion, or opt for warm tones like tangy orange, coral, orange and peach—smear the hue with aplomb. First-timers can choose an orange with a coral base; it brings in some red, which usually works for most skin types. For a safer look, pair a blue with a shade of peach, or nude for lips with a tinted eyeshadow. For vibrancy, team it up with an orange or peach lipstick and eyeshadow.

PURPLE PASSION

The deep shade of purple is perfect to add a glamorous touch to your look for a night-out. If red lips are your go-to look always, it is time for a revamp. Purples give lips a fresh and slightly berry hue. A bewitching plum wine looks striking, both on fair skin and more enchantingly, subdued on dark complexions. Purple is versatile too. There’s a shade for every skin and mood; whether it is lilac, lavender, plum or beyond!
