The Coral Makeup Edit.

Spring and summer bring the coral tones back on the scene. Corals are a great colour option to go for as it establishes a fun and seasonal look, but is still within the typical comfort zone as it is not too colourful or unusual. Corals are quite a broad and diverse colour range as it can include pinks, reds, and oranges, so you can select which one of those tones work for you. Another great thing about corals is that they can easily work on the eyes, cheeks, lips, and nails so you can go for the monochromatic look or apply the colour on just one area. Here are my picks on wearing coral tones for the eyes, cheeks, lips, and nails.

Eyeshadow. As mentioned, corals can include forms of oranges, pinks, and reds. You can apply just a swipe on the lid or a full look that combines different hues of coral that can creates a beautiful "sunset eye" makeup look. I enjoy applying corals on my lower lash line which creates a subtle, yet impactful eye look.

Blush. Coral-toned blushes can be so pretty and uplifting to the face. I especially enjoy those that have a shimmery/glowy element as it really compliments the sun-kissed coral cheek look.

Lips. As a bright lipstick lover, I really embrace the bright coral lip look. Again, there are many different undertones to coral lipsticks, but they regardless liven and brighten up the face and compliments all skin tones.                                                

Nails. You can always participate in a colour theme by applying it on the nails which still captures attention. And a plus: I feel that coral nails can give the illusion of a tan!

So these are my preferred ways of wearing coral-toned makeup that are great for spring and summer. Corals are not a colour range that I usually go for, but when I do, I really enjoy it and love the appearance of it on the face, especially for the spring and summer. 

What are your favourite ways of incorporating this colour theme?
