Unabashedly feminine, calmly pretty, and never too saccharine — blush hues feel almost edgy this time of year. Softer than stark whites or nudes, pale shades of pink are a refreshing choice when you just want something easy to wear that still adds a little color. Perhaps that's why they're appearing in the fall (Dior, Céline, Miu Miu) and resort (Acne Studios, Altuzarra) collections, as these shades are literally easy on the eyes, and go well with a tan even after it fades. Pair these pinks with whites and other neutrals for a light, summer palette or with darker shades of fuchsia and cranberry for a monochromatic look. In more refined silhouettes, like Zara's double-breasted jacket or sporty silhouettes like ICB's knit dress, these pieces avoid froufrou territory (the opposite of Gwyneth's dress when she won the Oscar, or Andie Walsh's homemade prom dress in Pretty in Pink).

Best Bet: Bite Beauty 15 Shades of Sephora
Canadian cosmetic company Bite Beauty is solely dedicated to treating and beautifying your lips. To celebrate Sephora's fifteenth year of existence, they've put together a comprehensive collection of lip glosses. The set of candy-colored, hydrating shades comes in an array of finishes that include sheer, shimmery, and nearly opaque (these are glosses, after all). The colors range from basic neutrals to more adventurous violets, and even tangerine. Sized at less than an ounce each, it's the perfect sampling of hues for those who can't commit.
