This summer its the coral and the orange tones that have been catching my eye. Although they tend to be rather bright, this season allows for some added punch to our colors, be it in makeup or fashion and besides, when else will you be able to wear them so comfortably? It's a forgiving season, one that has seen far too many tan lines and orange streaks and it is also the perfect time for those meeker among us to give bright and bold a whirl.

I have picked out 4 shades that I've been loving the most this summer, shades that I feel are best appreciated in these few months, uplifting and dazzling, they remind me of the tropics. I can promise they will keep your spirits high all the way through to the fall!


This is a gorgeous coral-red shade in a creamy-to-matte texture which gives it its sophisticated matte finish without being too drying on the lips. Similarly to the rest of the Kate collection, it carries the faintest scent of watermelon, not too over-powering and actually quite pleasant. On the lips this colour looks almost neon but don't be alarmed, its brilliantly flattering.
