BUBBLEGUM POP
FLARE picks: Lancôme Le French Touch Absolu in #314 Rose Candy, $40, at Lancôme counters. Joe Fresh Matte Lipstick in Bubble Gum, $6, select Joe Fresh stores. DuWop Lipstick in Private Pink, $25, at Shoppers Drug Mart (April).
BURGUNDY BEAT
On the darker side of the spectrum this spring, deep wine hues add a sensual sophistication to a choice evening ensemble. Take a cue from Ashish, Donna Karan and Loewe for the best way to wear this flattering lip colour.
FLARE picks: NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Train Bleu, $30, narscosmetics.ca. Clarins Rouge Prodige Lipstick in #114 Blackberry, $26, at The Bay, Sears and Shoppers Drug Mart. Avon Pro Luscious Pout Lip Color in Rich Plum, $12, avon.ca.
CORAL REEF
A touch of sunset coral is a punchy way to brighten your look. We loved the shade on the models at Karen Walker and Rebecca Minkoff.
FLARE picks: DuWop Lipstick in Private Coral, $25, at Shoppers Drug Mart (April). CoverGirl Blast Flipstick in Stunner, $12, at mass market retailers. Maybelline ColorSensational High Shine Lipcolor in Coral Lustre, $10, at mass market retailers.
MATTE ROUGE
A matte lip in a bright shade of red will make your lips pop. Paired with simple black eyeliner, as at Christian Dior and Jason Wu, it is fresh and sharp.
FLARE picks: Chanel Rouge Coco lipstick in #19 Gabrielle, $39, at Chanel counters. Nars Lipstick in Jungle Red, $30, narscosmetics.ca. Estée Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick in Scarlet Siren, $32, at Estée Lauder counters.
NEUTRAL PALETTE
A precise application in a neutral shade that blends perfectly with your skin is a refreshing way to wear lipstick. A hint of shine, as seen at Antonio Berardi, is especially slick. Going matte, as at Balenciaga and Fendi, is an ultra-modern option.
FLARE picks: Shiseido Perfect Rouge in BR735 Tawny, $30, shiseido.com. Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Brown Sugar, $10, at drugstores. Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss in #03, $6, at drugstores.
ORANGE SODA
An orange lip may not be for everyone, but it is a tart and quirky look if you can pull it off. Choose a sheer tangerine if you are unsure, but a true orange, as seen at Jeremy Laing, is a juicier choice.
FLARE picks: M.A.C Lipstick in Morange, $18, maccosmetics.com. Clarins Joli Rouge Lipstick in Orange Fizz, $27, at The Bay, Sears and Shoppers Drug Mart. Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense #40, $22, makeupforever.ca.
GRAPE DIVIDE
Nanette Lepore, Richard Chai and Yohji Yamamoto all had one thing in common for spring: purple lipstick. Nanette Lepore went for a soft lilac, but a more flattering option is grape, as seen at Richard Chai.
FLARE picks: Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in Black Plum, $22, at Shoppers Drug Mart, Murale and Sephora. Lancôme Rouge In Love Lipstick in #381B Violette Coquette, $30, at Lancôme counters. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Violet Frenzy, $10, at drugstores.
POLISHED CHERRY
Glossy red lips are unabashedly sexy, as Temperley London, Jean Paul Gaultier and Anna Sui all proved with this spotlight-grabbing shade.
FLARE picks: M.A.C Satin Lipstick in MAC Red, $17, maccosmetics.com. Urban Decay Super-Saturated Lip Color in Fbomb, $24, sephora.ca. Giorgio Armani Rouge D'Armani Sheers in #400, $30, at Holt Renfrew.
PETAL PINK
Sweet and feminine, a soft rosy pink is the perfect choice for a flattering spring shade. It may not scream out like a purple or an orange, but pale, cotton candy lips are extra kissable and right on trend.
FLARE picks: Dior Lipstick in Tulip Pink, $36, at Dior counters. Guerlain Rouge G de Guerlain in Rose Innocent, $51, at select Guerlain counters. Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Perle in N116 Milky Pink, $38, at Holt Renfrew.
