BellaSugar's Top Five Hot Pink Lip Gloss Picks

BellaSugar — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 09:00:28 PDT

Hot pink lip glosses are a summertime must have. They're flirtier than a classic red and pack more punch than a pastel. Plus, they match all of this season's trendiest neon pink nail polishes. If you're willing to try wearing a bright and daring hot pink pout, below are five of my favorites for you to check out! (I'm a poet and didn't know it.)

Sephora Brand Ultra-Shine Lip Gloss in Hot Pink ($15) is a semi-sheer, shimmery gloss with a sweet taste that glides on smooth and has a doe-foot applicator.
Trish McEvoy Beauty Booster Gloss in Brighten Pink ($25) is a sugary, sheer yet bright and smooth gloss that doesn't have an overbearing, synthetic scent.
Stila It Gloss in Smashing ($18) is a creamy, not too bright punch of pink gloss that goes on more opaque than their famous click glosses, but is more sheer than a lipstick.
Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss in Pink Popsicle ($19) is a bright pink shade that doesn't contain any shimmer. This gloss creates tons of shine, but the only drawback is the icky sticky factor (just warning you). It was a limited-edition color, but I've found some in stock if you act fast!
Lancome Color Fever Lip Gloss in Volcanic Pink ($23) is by far the brightest and boldest pink I've ever worn. And although it looks shocking in the tube it goes on quite sheer. I like to pair it with a champagne shadow and black liquid eyeliner.

Trend Alert: Bright Pink Lips

The last time we saw bright pink lips like this was on Elisha Cuthbert and before that it was at the 2007 Spring Diane von Furstenberg Fashion Show. Now, two gorgeous A-list ladies are looking fierce in fuchsia!

Natalie Portman matched her dress and her lips at the Mr. Magorium Wonder Emporium premiere, while Beyoncé sported a shiny pink pout at an autograph signing in Seoul, Korea. I love that stars are starting to experiment with color. How do you feel about this bright pink lip trend? Here are a couple of product suggestions for those of you who are willing to play with pink.

Dior Rouge Dior Replenishing Lipcolor in devilish pink ($26) is a long-wearing lipstick that provides full coverage, moisture, and unrivaled shine thanks to its new Color Reveal Complex. If you are looking for a rich pink to pamper your pout, this is a pretty great product!

For one more magnificent magenta lipstick,

Sephora Lip Attitude - Chic in Fuchsia Vamp 10 ($12) is a moist and creamy lip color without any shimmer (kind of like Beyoncé's) but with tons of shine - think liquid lip color in a tube. The color stays semiglossy and lasts long!

Bright, florid lipstick shades are a huge red carpet and runway trend right now, whether the color in question is fruit punch, cerise, or neon pink.

Try Emily Blunt's Hot-Pink Lipstick Trick

Jaime Richards — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 12:47:00 PDT

Hot-pink lipstick has often gotten a bum rap thanks to its more garish 1980s roots. But for Emily Blunt at the premiere of The Five-Year Engagement, her hot pink - CoverGirl's Lip Perfection Lipstick in Spellbound ($7), a bright, creamy fuchsia - was hotter than hot.

Part of the reason the palette worked so well is that makeup artist Jenn Streicher kept Emily's eyes and cheeks simply elegant, opting for a clean-skin palette to begin with, starting with Hourglass No. 28 Primer Serum as a base, followed by Dolce & Gabbana Perfect Finish Foundation. But another reason the palette worked so well is all thanks to the science of color. Pink (as seen on Emily's lips) when paired with green (as seen on her earrings and in her frock) is a winning combination. The reason is because pinkish tones are directly opposite of greenish tones on the color wheel, so Emily's overall ensemble made for one truly spellbinding style.

Who Wore the Best Neon Pink Lipstick?

BellaSugar — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 08:48:25 PDT

Celebrities are rocking electric colors on nails, lips, and even hair this Spring (a trend so bright even the paparazzi need shades). Seen here on Kate Bosworth, Beth Reisgraf, and Amber Rose, pink is only one of the possibilities when it comes to choosing a neon hue. Kate chose to wear her watermelon color in a matte formula with barely there makeup and tousled curls, while Beth dressed up her neon lip with a braided updo. Amber gleams in a glossy shade that complements her winged eyeliner. But now you must decide, which celebrity's neon look shines the brightest?

At the L!fe Happens premiere, Krysten Ritter added a blast of color to her black and white Jenni Kayne ensemble by wearing orange-red heels. But it's what makeup artist Amy Nadine did next that took the entire ensemble up several notches. To complement the actress's eye-catching footwear, Nadine created a "strong and modern" makeup look that featured matching orange-red lips. Learn how to get the Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 star's palette below.

To add a flush of color to Krysten's cheeks, Nadine used Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Hush ($14), a pale pink. Then, Nadine swept Chanel Illusion D'Ombre in Emerveillé ($36), a neutral champagne hue, all over Krysten's lids, followed by black liner all along the lash lines. Finally, to match Krysten's lips to her bright-colored shoes, Nadine applied Tarte LipSurgence Lip Tint ($24) in the new poppy shade, Spirited. So if the spirit moves you, give this matchy-matchy technique a try.
