Three things that are looking brighter this time of year: the weather, everyone's mood, and your lipstick. Temperatures are (slowly) beginning to rise, meaning it's time to trade the serious-minded lipsticks we've been wearing through fall and winter for brighter, bolder colors. Add some pep to your pucker with corals (Maybelline Colorsensational Vivids in Electric Orange), pinks (Ilia lipstick in Pink Kashmir), and of course, reds (Illamasqua lipstick in Liable). Take a gander at a few of our favorite shades in the gallery above.– Jihan Forbes
