A bright, saturated lip combines femininity with a touch of fun for a look that has a bold, playful appeal. "It reminds me of things like flowers and lollipops — something that makes you feel uplifted to just look at it," says Imai. "Bright lips are the perfect way to start a new season in a happy mood."

Ladies with dark skin, like the lovely Nyamuoch here, have it easy in the bright lips department — there isn't really anything they can't wear. "The bright and bolder, the better," says Imai. Now, many of you have told us before that you just can't wear a bright lip, but we're here to tell you that is the opposite of true. It's all about confidence — you need to realize the reason that everyone is staring at you is not because you look weird, but because you look amazing. #truth
