According to Jillian Dempsey, the hottest lipcolor for the summer is coral, and different variation of coral ,such as: a pink coral, strong coral, or pale coral.  Also, look out for bright pinks, lots of nudes and neutrals.

Best way to pick the right lipstick according to Jillian, is to pay attention to the shape of your lips. Are your lips thin, medium, or full?

Celestial Spring Avon’s Spring 2009 Color Collection Designed by Jillian Dempsey

This Spring, own a little piece of heaven with the new Celestial Spring Color Collection, designed exclusively by Avon Global Creative Color Director Jillian Dempsey. Inspired by the tranquil blues of the ocean and pastel tones of the sky, Jillian captured the lush range to create a look that is all about twinkling eyes, angelic cheeks and glistening starlit lips.

“The inspiration was based on soft, celestial hues of the beach – the ocean, the clouds and the sky. The blissful blues, sunset pinks and ethereal amber in the collection match beautifully with this season’s romantic designs and accessories,” explains Jillian.

The light and airy hues of the collection brighten up the smoky shades of winter and create a whimsical look for Spring. Eyes remain the focus with a palette of sunny brights, aquatic shades and barely-there tints of pearly coconuts and sandy tans. With swirls of pearl, marbleized baked shadows make eyes glisten while Big Color Glossy Lip Pencils create fresh, soft lips. Pale, opalescent nail shades complete the soft romantic look.

The Celestial Spring Collection: NEW Formula – Jillian Dempsey for Avon Celestial Eyeshadow ($8.00): Mixes of celestial shades are sprinkled with “star shine” for twinkling effects. The ultra-soft marbleized baked powder blends on as smooth as stardust. Available in Moon Sand and Sunset Sky.

Avon Celestial Eyeshadows both very delicate shades and very summery. You can apply Sunset Sky on eye lids just a little over crease and use Moon Sand to fill in rest of eye lid up to brow bone, and inner corner of eyes.
