Coral Lips for Summer

I got inspired the other day to stray away from my typical nude colored lipstick and glosses. With summer quickly approaching I thought coral lips would be a good choice. I typically like to keep things more on the natural side. With my skin tone, this is a very wearable coral lip.

                 

                                   

The star of the show was the OCC Lip Tar in Grandma, which is a bright coral color. Lip Tars are so much fun. You can mix them with other lip products for customization. I typically mix Grandma with a nude color, but on this day I decided to wear it with just Makeup Forever's Aqua Lip in 18C, which is also described as a "coral," and a gloss by Buxom in Mai Tai, described as a "vivid coral." Funny thing is, you would think I purchased these products at the same time with the whole coral description thing going on. I didn't.

Here are swatches of the lip products in natural light. Top is the Buxom Full on Lip Cream, middle is the Liner and bottom is the OCC Lip Tar.

You can share your rendition of a coral lip on Instagram to let me know what products you're loving! Be sure to tag @becausemakeupalwaysfits and use the hashtag #becausemakeupalwaysfits.
