Bright red lips lead the way in BCBG's Fall 2011 campaign by David Roemer in this image from fashiongonerogue
Nothing captures the spirit of summer quite like a lethal dose of color incorporated into your wardrobe in the form of a bright handbag, dress or shoe. But the easiest (and often cheapest) way to add a dash of color to your look is with lipstick.
Finding the best color for yourself is all about experimentation, so it's important to be willing to try out anything. If you hate a certain shade, wipe it off and start again - and don't be afraid to be bold! Even though our hair & skin tones couldn't be more different, we both tend to gravitate towards bright red, pink, and orange lipsticks. But really, any burst of color will do!
Check out our experiments with bright lips, our favorite lip colors, and more inspiring images below to get you thinking out of the makeup box...

Some of our favorite red lip colors(from left to right):
Estee Lauder's Pure Color Lipstick in Red Velvet ($24) is a classic red that stays put and won't smear
Lancome's Coloring Stick with Brush in Rougelle ($19.89) is easy to apply and helps keep color in place
Laura Mercier's Gel Lipcolor in Hibiscus Bloom ($22) is a more modern, traffic-stopping red
