It’s not just me – hot-hue fever seems to be everywhere. Even if I’m too timid to wear these captivating colors out of the house, I can’t help but feel energized just looking at them. From the street to the beach, perk up your lips, eyes, or nails with a brilliant shot of Technicolor. Just keep your daring element down to a minimum. Only one burst of tangerine or turquoise at a time, please!
1. Le Métier de Beauté Limited-Edition Nail Lacquer in Not So Safe Orange: The only time of year to really wear piping-hot orange is when it’s burning-hot outside. This take on neon feels classic, not tacky.
At Neiman Marcus for $18.
2. Illamasqua Intense Lip Gloss in Indulge: Bright pink is approachable when it’s in the form of a high-shine gloss. This brand’s formula stays true to its name – this color is really vivid – without getting sticky.
