Try this brilliant way to put pep in your step: colorblock bold lips with spring accessories!

Definition: col·or block /kələr -bläk/ Colorblocking, is a method of wearing multiple solid colors in a look. The outfit or look inspiration revolves around a palette of two or more colors, usually in bold and bright shades.

After a long winter of wool scarves and black down coats, we’re craving fresh, juicy spring hues! In lieu of precisely matching lipstick to spring accessories, opt instead to colorblock by layering bright (slightly contrasting) shades. This allows for tons of creativity and a wealth of color combinations!

Here are Pantone swatches of some of my favorite two-toned beauty trends:

Red & Fuchsia

Try: Velvet Matte Lipstick in Light My Fire and Fifi or Copa

Coral & Strawberry Ice

Try: Subtle Shine Lipstick in Giddy and Strawberry Fields or Tutu

Lilac & Tangerine

Try: Velvet Matte Lipstick in Bikini Machine and Subtle Shine Lipstick in Beach Bunny or Sheer Lip Tint in Melonade

And as always, my favorite beauty “rule” is to have fun!
