I wasn't really feeling the coral trend until I bought Revlon
Coral Reef - then it just kind of exploded in my face - and on it. I realized how well the
Dior Aurora +
Guerlain Sunny Pink* combo complemented the Revlon gloss, and coral became part of my new favorite look; it pairs so well with brightly colored outfits and it just feels so cheerful.

There actually aren't a lot of corals in my train case. The bigger sad? No coral nail polish! My eye is totally on Dior
Riviera, but that'll have to wait. For the moment, I'm still enjoying these things. Not all at once, mind you. But it's nice to have variations on a theme.

| Dior Aurora on its own is not coral, but when I layer Guerlain Sunny Pink* over it, I get a beautiful coral cheek color that lasts and lasts. |
My favorite combo at the moment consists of earthy eyes (think the Tarina Tarantino
Wonderful palette), a coral cheek (Guerlain
Sunny Pink* layered over Dior
Aurora, à la
Wandz), and a juicy coral lip (Revlon
Coral Reef).

Sometimes, I'll play around with
Fyrinnae Romantique on lips;
Romantique is peachy gold, but can be almost a shimmery MLBB shade when paired with the right face products. Because of the shimmer though, I try to wear it with more matte shades on eyes. If I'm going with nude lips, I'll bring coral to my eyes: BE
Citrus Twist is a pinker coral, while Fyrinnae
Rapunzel Had Extensions has more gold and a faint green shift. Here's a look:
