In case you haven't heard, today is National Lipstick day! Woohoo! So don't even think about leaving your house with bare lips today, chica. Bright bold lip colors are perfect for summer and look especially great on Latinas with medium or dark skin tones. I have a naturally tan, caramel-ish complexion (sort of like Camila Alves') that gets even darker during the summertime, so I'm all about the orangey-red, corals and hot pink pouts. Looking for some gorgeous shades to rock this season? Don't worry girl, I've got you!

Berry
Bright plums and berry shades pop against a medium or dark complexion. I especially love Elizabeth Arden's Beautiful Color Moisturizing Lipstick in Ultra Violet ($25). It's so rich in color and REALLY flattering!
Bold red
Nothing says sexy and sophisticated like a pair of bright, red labios. Try MAC'S Ruby Woo ($11). It literally looks good on all skin tones.
Coral
I love the way vibrant corals and peachy tones look on tan or bronzed skin tones. Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Streak ($22) leaves you look instantly glowy.
Orange red
Bright and bold orangey lipsticks don't just make a statement, they bring out your skin's yellow and golden undertones. Try Dior Addict Fluid Stick in Aventure ($35). It's one of my favorite shades for summer!
Hot pink
A hot pink lipstick, like Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick in Melted Fuchsia ($21), is my go-to color whenever I need a quick pick-me-up. It brightens my face and polishes my look.
