5 Great Coral Lipsticks

5 Great Coral Lipsticks

Reader Angela thought to be cruel to me by suggesting coral lipsticks–because picking a favorite coral is like picking your favorite child! I will say that the closest to all-time favorite coral would be Guerlain Gems, which was limited edition and no longer available, but the below five are all near and dear to my heart!  Want more corals?  Check out our swatch gallery of coral lipsticks.

What’s your favorite coral lipstick?

I am a big fan of MAC Cockney, Hibiscus, Eager, Toxic Tale and Crazee. Revlon and Maybelline also make great corals in their Colorstay and SuperStay lines, respectively.

The third try was a charm for me, I came across a Wearable Lip Kit in Coral by Bare Escentuals. It contains a lipstick, lip liner and lip gloss that compliment each other. Anyone can truely wear this. I found it at their outlet store from $6.50, yes a score!

I like the Laura M and the MAC ones here best only because they are lighter in shade and I know I would have issue pulling off the darker corals on my coloring & over all look I tend to go for.

It really is difficult to choose a favorite coral lipstick. My favorites are MAC Viva Glam Cyndi, Missy, By Degrees & Funshine Slimshines, Ever Hip, Dressmaker, Dressmaker, Made to Order, Ultra Darling Sheen Supreme and NARS Niagara. Can you tell I love me some corals? I love both orange corals and pink corals. They’re so pretty!

I bought Crosswires on a whim a few weeks ago and LOVE it! <3 I lovee coral-pinks! Most of all, I love the fact that its so moisturizing on my lips.

Personally, I have been reaching for Ever Hip ever since buying it from CCO a few weeks ago. It’s so flattering on me, and I love layering it with Strange Potion.

My two favorite coral lipsticks of all time: MAC Strawberry Blonde (lipstick not lip gloss) and MAC Poppy Hop. LE of course, and I only bought one of each at the time that they were released. I use them sparingly and hope that one day that will be re-released in another future collection. 🙂
