I have loved Jewel since college, when songs like Who Will Save Your Soul and I’m Sensitive felt like personal anthems. I blasted her ballads and belted them out (while blow drying my hair) the way only a soul-searching 20 year-old girl can. I loved her painful poetry and her bohemian hair and was so taken with her personal story.

Jewel’s makeup has always been gorgeous: a slight shimmer, a smokey eye, a nude lip and glorious long hair. The kind of look I’m always going for.

But here she is at the Academy of Country Music awards wearing a strong lip and sleek hair and I think she looks AMAZING.

I am so inspired because her bright pink fuchsia lip color looks exactly like theYSL Rouge Volupte Shine #17 I bought recently. I never, ever wear a bold lip but this is the one color and formulation I think I can pull off and wear comfortably. I prefer it to the bright orange lip that is trending right now because, quite frankly, I just think it’s prettier and easier to wear. I might even go for the sleek ponytail and really take a risk.

What’s your go-to bright lip color?
