What better time than spring to break out a bright matte lip? I'm currently coveting a vibrant orange-red thanks to these backstage shots from Missoni S/S 2013.

First the neon eyes + now the statement lips! I'm slowly building up the confidence to try this out. I only use chapstick + haven't really worn lipstick since high school, so this would be a big jump. I keep buying bright shades, but haven't tried them out in public yet. The trick is wearing it with just a bit of mascara + nothing else. Here are some I've been testing...

+ Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture in 'Le Fuchsia'
+ NARS Pure Matte Lipstick in 'Carthage'
+ Bobbi Brown Lip Color in 'Neon Pink'
+ NARS Lipstick in 'Schiap'
