Even though we are in the midst of winter, there is no need to resign yourself to spending the rest of the season in dark and neutral colors. On the contrary, the fashion and beauty trends sweeping the red carpets and mood boards are dominated by bright, bold colors like red and pink. Last night's Emmy Awards were proof of this, with spring motifs like florals and bright colors sweeping the red carpet.

But this movement toward color did not just take place on the red carpet at the awards ceremony. Lucy Hale, for example, appeared in midtown Manhattan last night dressed head-to-toe in bright red, complemented by bright pink lipstick. The actress's glossy lip color was the centerpiece of her beauty look, along with a rosy yet subdued blush and a layer of eyeliner along the top of her eyelids. This makeup, combined with her recently lightened hair, gave her a very radiant look.

I particularly like Hale's lipstick not only because it looks great on her, but also because it represents a departure from the nude and no-makeup trends that have dominated celebrity beauty in recent months. After all, makeup is supposed to be fun, and your face is a fresh canvas open for you to paint on.

Below are a few bright, shiny lip colors to help you get in on the latest colorful trends. Spring may be a ways off, but that doesn't mean you can't access that fun energy.
