Real Girls Show You How to Rock a Unique Colored Lipstick for Summer

Real girls show you how to rock unique-colored lipsticks.
Lavender Lipstick

If you’re looking for a reason to experiment with your makeup look, the freedom and care-free vibes we get from summer is the perfect excuse. It’s the ideal time to whip out all the products you’ve been wanting to experiment with and take a second look at the trends you’ve seen from your favorite YouTubers and give them a try. We think one quick and easy way to spice up your summer beauty look is with a super unique colored lipstick.

Believe it or not, there are lipsticks in literally every color imaginable—pastels, greens, blues and even black, plus much, much more—and they’re easier than you think to pull off.

Just to show you how wearable unique colored lipsticks are, we’ve rounded up some shots from real girls on Instagram that show no matter what color your skin, hair and eye makeup, you can rock an out-of-the-box color lipstick instead of your typical reds, pinks and nudes.

 Paired with some serious lashes, this chick is nailing the black lipstick look. It doesn’t matter what time of year it is, we think black lipstick doesn’t have to be “goth” anymore.

If you don’t want to go completely black, a super dark maroon will do the trick. Pair it with barely-there makeup, and you’ll get heads to turn.

Since blue-purple hue brings out the purple tips in her hair, as well as the orange shadow hues in her smokey eye – go bold, ladies.
