Coral is one of those great colors that is just as feminine and statement-making as a punch-y pink. While the hue looks especially great on medium to darker skin tones, fear not pale complexions! Anyone can pull it off. For an ideal everyday shade copy Sofia Vergara's exact tint: CoverGirl Queen Collection Lipcolor in Into The Red, $5.94.

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.
One of my favorite lines in "The Devil Wears Prada" happens when Meryl Streep's character is looking at options for a spring photo shoot and she sarcastically quips, "Florals for spring? Groundbreaking."
That's exactly how I feel about spring makeup trends like pink lipstick.
True, certain seasons will always come hand in hand with classic looks. A wine-stained lip for fall. A bronzy blush for summer. And I get it -- these trends are a big part of why we look forward to the change in weather every three months. They give us an excuse to update our look and keep us from getting stuck in a beauty rut.
But what if, like me, you're beyond bored of the same spring lipsticks -- those humdrum pinks and reds? It's not exactly like there is a rainbow of bright and chic colors to chose from (unless of course, you follow Nicki Minaj's beauty handbook), right?
Wrong. There are plenty of less popular -- but still stunning -- shades. Orange, coral, and rose often take a backseat to the beloved raspberries and crimsons come spring, but that's why returning to them is the perfect way to switch things up. Keep clicking to see the spring lipstick trends that'll help you mix things up this year.
