I’ve learned from quite a few beauty experts lately that it’s time to stop hesitating about color on our lips, and just start testing out some products until you find what works for you. For those of you who are really nervous about the bolds and brights, there are plenty of sheer washes of color that will look great for the spring season.
I’ve listed out my recent faves below in some of this seasons hottest hues for all of you colorphobes.
These lip pencils from NARS give you a light wash of color while also keeping your lips moisturized. You have full control over how much color you want with these I’m loving the coral shade, Happy Days. (NARS Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil in Happy Days, $24, narscosmetics.com)
