Hi Karen!
You mentioned in one of your posts that you love everything coral. May I ask, what are your favorite coral lipsticks? 🙂
It doesn’t matter if they’re cheap or high end. I’m looking for a new one since my only coral lipstick is running out and…it’s limited edition.
I know, right?
Thank you, K!

Hi Emae,
I admire your ability to commit to one coral shade. That’s love, right there!
I have trouble with coral lipstick monogamy. You see, I’m a coral flirt (it’s a legitimate problem), but there are a few corals I keep coming back to over and over again.
Here are some of my tried-and-true permanent collection coral faves…
- NARS Lodhi Satin Lip Pencil: This satiny coral is the real deal, babe, and I start to hyperventilate when I can’t find it. It lasts for hours, doesn’t feather, and it’s super easy to apply. If I ever had to commit to just one coral — perish the thought! — Lodhi would be a serious contender.
- MAC Ravishing Lipstick: This fresh, flirty coral is all innocent and sweet.
- MAC Crosswires Lipstick: For potent “look at me lips,” this punchy, pigmented pinkish orange does the trick.
- MAC Costa Chic Lipstick: You can’t miss this frosty, medium-toned coral. It’s one of my faves to wear with cat eyes.
- Tom Ford Lip Color in True Coral: This bright reddish pink is no joke! At $48, it’s redonkulously expensive, but every time I bust out the tube, I derive great joy out of pretending that I’m hanging out with Lisa Vanderpump and Jiggy… (In these daydreams we’re talking about Manolos over tall glasses of cucumber spa water.)
- Hourglass Muse Opaque Liquid Lipstick: A long-wearing, sophisticated reddish coral with a matte finish, this coral can be tricky to apply (something to think about), and a little goes a looong way. Oh! — but it looks absolutely fab with Nectar Lipgloss from Hourglasson top. I’ve been loving that combo for at least a month.
And more corals of note, because a girl’s gotta have options…
- Too Faced Juicy Melons: I just lurve this light-toned pinkish coral.
- MAC Vegas Volt: BZZZT! an electrifying orangey coral.
- bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie in Light It Up: a creamy coral.
- Milani Flamingo Rose: a pigmented rosy coral.
- MAC Lady Danger: a sophisticated reddish coral.
- Urban Decay Streak: a sweet peachy pink coral.
Hope that helps, Emae! 🙂
Maybe someone reading this has some more ideas. How ’bout it? What are your must-have coral lipstick faves?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

September 10th, 2013 at 3:50 pmNow I’ve got coral fever…and I already have it badly enough! (Still need to get Lodhi…seems like every time I go to Nordstrom it’s sold out. Hmph) You’ve already listed so many of my faves but I do like the Revlon lip butters. Tutti Frutti is the one coral (I think…I feel like there’s way more reds and pinks in that line) and I like it for beach days when I feel like lipstick is too heavy.

September 10th, 2013 at 9:29 pmSweet Tart or Candy Apple is what you’re looking for if you want a medium coral shade in the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter line.
Revlon Superlustrous Lipstick in Coral Berry is similar to Vegas Volt as far as color–not quite dupes but still similar.

September 10th, 2013 at 4:21 pmI love my MAC Hibiscus from their summer collection a while back! Super intense when you apply it, but the stain it leaves behind is beautiful.

September 10th, 2013 at 4:34 pmWell, this topic has my name written all over it! In addition to the Hourglass and Urban Decay choices already listed, there are two that have rocked my world this summer: Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment in Coral (great cuz it has spf 15 in it), and Josie Maran’s Argan Love Your Lips Hydrating Lipstick in Coral Delight (super moisturizing).

September 10th, 2013 at 4:41 pmI’m also a bit of a coral flirt, can’t have enough of them! My most worn coral has to be the Guerlain Rouge Automatique in Nahema, that one goes with so many things! If you like something shiny and lightweight do try YSL Rouge Volupté Shine in Corail Incandescent. For a bright coral I love Guerlain’s Rouge G Gracy. I can go on and on, lol. But those are a few of my favourites. Good luck Emae!

September 10th, 2013 at 5:33 pmLove your coral choices! Juicy Melons is a favorite of mine, but it definitely pulls pink on me. I also adore Milani Flamingo Pose and it is my bold lipstick of choice to swipe on when I’m down in the dumps. Instant mood lifter 🙂 NARS Happy Days is another love of mine that falls under the giant coral umbrella.
A coral umbrella…hmm…that would be quite nice.

September 10th, 2013 at 6:13 pmI love Crosswires. As to MAC lip sticks I also really love See Shear, which I see as more of an everyday (work appropriate) coral lip.

September 10th, 2013 at 7:48 pmI have Muse in my Sephora basket right now (the lipstick, not the liquid) but I just discovered Guerlain Le Rouge in Mandarine Bolero which is a deeper dupe of the Muse shade. Also love MAC Party Parrot over red liner, Sue Devitt Phinda…list goes on. I have yet to try on the Nars b/c it’s always a horrible nub at the Sephora I go to and I refuse to test it on my face.

My everyday must-have coral is Dior Spring Ball Addict Extreme. It perks me up in an instant, and I’d wear it grocery-shopping as well as to a wedding! For bolder corals, Chanel La Favorite, Guerlain Gracy, Chanel Le Baiser are some of my favorites 🙂

September 11th, 2013 at 7:32 amRevlon Coral Berry is one of my FAVORITES 🙂 Along with CoverGirl Lip Perfection in Fairytale, I get a ton of compliments with Fairytale. Revlon Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya is a nice smooth glossy coral and Maybelline Baby Lips in Coral Crush is a sheer coral balm. I love corals too!

September 11th, 2013 at 8:45 amI have NARS Velvet Gloss Pencil in New Lover and think that’s coralish (but please let me know if I’m wrong). You’ll be proud of me that a friend asked me this weekend if I had any lip products on me (at a wedding) and I had like 5 or 6 different options. I was shocked, myself. 🙂
