Celebrity Trend Alert: Deep Citrus Lips

Nude lips may be the makeup trend du jour — but Miley Cyrus, Solange and Bella Thorne are starting their spring with tangy tangerine pouts.

Even though nude lips were the beauty trend to beat during this year's awards season and on the Paris runways in February, nothing makes spring feel official quite like a bright tangerine lip. And though a color-saturated pucker isn't exactly a warm weather revelation, the look happens to feel extra modern at the moment because of spring's graphic black, white and neutral clothes that make the feisty cosmetic color pop especially hard.

Miley Cyrus paired her striped Chanel jumpsuit with blood-orange lips at a Ryan Seacrest Foundation event on March 22, while Solange performed the next day at the Diesel and Edun Studio Africa L.A. Launch Party in a softer citrus hue. Even redheaded actress Bella Thorne broke standard redhead rules by opting for orange lips, which provided a perfect accent to the white and navy Alice & Olivia dress she wore to The Host premiere on March 19.

While most complexions can pull off the look, remember that less is more — unless you want to look like a clown.
“Keep the rest of your makeup slightly defined, but not too done,” says celebrity makeup artist Mai Quynh, who works with Ginnifer Goodwin, Chloe Grace Moretz, Reese Witherspoon and Jessica Chastain. She swiped MAC's Morange lipstick across Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s pout at the AFI Fest in November. “With such a bright color, you want the lips to be the main focus and to make sure nothing else is competing with it.”

It may feel like an unconventional shade for black tie events, but orange works for formal occasions, too. Jessica Alba’s makeup artist used Hourglass Cosmetics Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick in Riviera on the actress to complement the melon-colored Oscar de la Renta gown she donned at the Golden Globes in January. The highly pigmented shade stood out despite sitting next to a $5 million Harry Winston diamond necklace strewn across Alba's neck.

Miley Cyrus and Kate Bosworth's Manicurists Create Limited Edition NCLA Decals

Like any beauty junkie, we're totally obsessed with the raging nail-art trend. And while some of our fave—and most creative!—looks are inspired by stunning celebrity manicures, it's not always easy to replicate the stars' intricate looks.

Luckily for us, a few of Hollywood's most sought after manicurists have teamed up with NCLA Nail Wraps to create easy-to-apply nail decals emblazoned with styles similar to those created for celebrity clients. Jenna Hipp, who counts the edgy Miley Cyrus and Glee's Lea Michele as fans, designed simple chic half moon wraps inspired by requests she specifically received from leading ladies.

"Elegance and simplicity are very important to my style," Hipp explained in a release. "My wraps reflect that."

For the more adventurous gal, Drew Barrymore and Demi Lovato's go-to manicurist, Stephanie Stone, offers an out-of-this world galaxy print sure to spice up any look thanks to colorful psychedelic swirls, as well as a flirty floral style that's just perfect for spring.

And while you might not be familiar with manicurist Madeline Poole's name, you likely know her celebrity clients—the oh-so-stylish Kate Bosworth and our own Kelly Osbourne—and the ombre nail trend she helped popularize. Poole's Electric Gradient design helps you mimic the trendy look in a punchy yellow-to-turquoise fade.

The best part? No appointment necessary!
