Step aside neutrals and nudes, it's time for bold colors to shine this summer. Sure, it's easy to be intimidated by the high-impact, ultra-striking lippies, but once you get the hang of it, you'll find that they provide an amazing confidence boost. After all, bold lip colors draw attention to your pout — plus they can help you look put together when you're too busy to do a full eyeshadow look.
So, what are you waiting for? Prep your lips and get ready to wear these statement lipsticks: We've picked out 10 of our favorites, from Rihanna-approved popsicle purples to searing-bright classic reds.
