4 Spring Lipcolors Straight From The Shows!

By: Connie Wang & Kristen Pisaturo

Imagine this: You're beat, you're late, and you've only got 10 seconds to transform your face from barely there to breathtaking. What to do? If the runways provided any hints, it's to reach for a lipstick in a saturated color. Glossy, matte, with a sheen or without, a swipe of some eye-popping lippy can do wonders in elevating your look without taking up your precious time. This season, corals and nudes are extra glamorous, while girlish shades of fuchsia and purple feel sassy on nearly any skin tone. To make the whole search easier, we've grouped together our favorite beauty shots from the shows as well as products you can snatch up right now to steal the look.

Coral

Coral is a universally flattering color, and stains your lips for that perfect post-Popsicle look.

Nude

Don't be scared of the pale shade! Paired with a made-up eye, nude lips are utterly sophisticated.

Purple

This unconventional hue is still going strong! Lilacs, violets, and heliotropes are all feminine without being saccharine.
