How to get summer's hottest lipstick trends


Summer is always a good time to experiment with color. And this year there's a variety of trending shades to chose from. In addition to traditional summery hues inspired by seasonal fruit like peaches and apricots, bright pinks, oranges and reds are popping up on red carpets.

The hot fuchsia shades of the moment -- seen on the Marchesa runway and the likes of Kerry Washington -- are an elevated take on hot pink.

Same goes for corals, which have the added bonus of popping against tropical outfits, like Amal Clooney's brilliant combination of orange-red lips and earrings with her yellow Versace dress at Cannes.

The key is choosing a shade that's fresh and bright. See some of our favorite options and celebrity inspiration in the gallery below.
