One of my favourite things about Spring is of course the incredible pastel lip colours that suit the season so well. This post showcases a selection of these beautiful creamy and colourful peach and pink hues.
If you are strapped on cash to spend on makeup then this is
the post for you because all but two of these products is drugstore, making
this trend super affordable and accessible to you.
Starting off with the pink options, I have four products
here to tell you about because pastel pinks are generally a lot more wearable
than creamy corals.
THE PINKS
MAC "Snob" is a cult classic shade and one of the first lipsticks I picked up from the brand. In my opinion, it is much more wearable than something like Saint Germaine because it is slightly pinker and has less of a white base to it.

Maybelline Rebel Bloom "Hibiscus Pop" is a creamcicle pink and a colour
that usually would not work on me but due to its creamy luxurious formulation
it does. This is a hydrating lipstick but still makes a bold impact with the
colour, creating the perfect pastel pink for spring time.
Maybelline 14hr "Perpetual Peony" is a great option if you want
something long wearing that you won’t have to be constantly reapplying, which
is the unfortunate downside for the Maybelline Rebel Bloom collection.
NYX "Lollies" Butter Lipstick is another hydrating product and you
would not believe the smooth and creamy
finish while still providing super opaque colour. This pink would still
be considered pastel but it has more of a bubble-gum pink hue to it, perfect if
you want a bold pink lip this season.
THE CORALS
Creamy coral shades look incredible on tanned skin and
blonde hair but can wash out those with lighter skin or dark hair. It is
definitely trial and error though to see what works for you because sometimes
depending on the hue of the lipstick, you can get it to work. More often than
not though I look like I dipped my lips into ice-cream and should immediately
wash them. So I have gathered together my go-to colours that I can actually
pull off. So if you have similar colourings to me then this may be great
options for you.
NYX "Taffy" Butter Lipstick is the perfect option if you find it
difficult to wear light peach colours like this because the hydration and
pigmentation work together to make the lips look great. Much better than the
unfortunate event of when product sinks into the lines of your lips.
The Maybelline Rebel Bloom collection is at it again with
this light coral shade, "Peach Poppy". Similar to the NYX product, the hydration makes the
shade a lot more wearable. This is a very similar colour to the NYX shade but a
little less pigmented and instead of a glossy finish it has more of a satin
finish.
MAC “Sweet and Sour” is the first light coral colour that
actually worked for me. I was shopping with my makeup artist friend Fifi Marika
who encouraged me to try it on and at first I was hesitant, having similar
shades look horrible on me in the past, but I ended up falling in love with it. Something about the formulation and perfect amount of opacity works so well and
compliments blonde hair perfectly.
Those are my pastel peach and pink lip colour
recommendations for this season. I hope this has helped you out and maybe you
can scour the drugstore looking for some more hidden gems. I know I want to
have a bit of a look at the Essence, Rimmel and L’Oreal stands at Priceline.
Thanks for reading!
