Tomato I love a red lip and always go back to it, but even I'll admit cherry and brick are a bit played out. That's why I'll be wearing this fiery orange-based red this spring. The vibrant undertones dramatically brighten the hue to an almost neon level, especially with a high shine formula like Estee Lauder Vivid Shine Lipstick in Fireball, $25.

Why does it feel like most of those colors are variations of orange? Rose is just about the only one I have any interest in trying.

orange looks bad on me but I do like rose. I have a light complexion.

LOVE the salmon color-great idea! However, I have found that the tomato red and the coral have been popular recently.

The orange and tomato are awful, but the rest are very pretty. Going to have to try the rose, salmon, and coral!

Bummer that there's only one blue-based color among the five. Although I wish I could wear the salmon pink.

All of these colors have been in style for the past few years...especially oranges and corals. For an excellent tomato red MAC's 'Russian Red' or their Archie's Girls Collection 'Ronnie Red' are awesome!
