NYC make-up artist Denise Markey shared her Spring favorites with us!
I love the bright lipstick colors of this Spring season...they are so fresh & optimistic! The bright pinks remind one of yummy Confectioneries and the bright corals are like a field of Poppies! My favorite coral lipstick is the NARS Heat Wave and there's no better pink than Dior's Chic Pink. Flawless.
