So if you're yearning for the sweet bloom of the new season, here are six lovely choices.

Make Up For Ever: Just Bitten

by Isadora Dunne

Makeup artist Wendy Karcher's inspiration is the just-bitten lusciousness of a ripe pomegranate as its juice stains the lips. To replicate the look, she fills in the entire lip with a tangerine orange pencil, over which she layers a sheer red gloss, creating this unique orange-tinged, red-stained mouth. She then uses a similarly red-orange blush at the apples of the cheeks. Karcher delicately enhances the eyebrow, but leaves the rest of the eyes bare except for a coat of black mascara and a fine black liner across the upper lash line.

Here's what Karcher used:

Face

#8 Mat Velvet Oil Free Foundation

#23 Compact Powder

#3 Corrective Base

#1 Lift Concealer

Eyes:

#1 Brow Pencil in Taupe

#1 Color Liner in Black

#1 Volume Mascara

Cheeks:

#16 Blush Powder (ruby reddish pink)
