Orange Lipstick is a MUST!

Step aside red, there’s a new lip color in town and her name is Orange (pronounced OR-WRENCH). I touched on the orange lipstick cause now is the time to give her a go. The bold hue is best complimented with a fairly understated face and a bad attitude–needed for all the NOsayers trying to blot out your shine.



If you’re ready to be bold, check out the tips for finding the right orange:

For women whose skin tone falls somewhere between warm and cool, that’s where a coral comes in of versatile pink-tinged versions of mango and papaya.
As it turns out, it’s every bit as compelling on the lips, where it radiates a similarly addictive blend of couture elegance and unabashed optimism. Orange is bright, it’s beautiful, it’s a little bit extreme. And it’s a great alternative to your classic red lip.



Fair Skin (think Rihanna): Try a more modest pinky-orange. Anything too dark and bright can be too much for your fair skin. Try MAC Lipstick in CB 96 or Make Up For Ever Lipstick in Pinkish Orange 403!

Tanned/Golden Skin (think Beyonce or Eva Mendez): Go for a bright warm orange like
Make Up For Ever Lipstick in Pinkish Orange 403 or try a MAC Lipstick in Lady Danger!



Don’t get too personal in racial or ethnic backgrounds when it comes to skin color. People of different racial or ethnic backgrounds can have similar coloring and therefore can wear similar makeup shades. The suggestions I made above are to help you narrow down your choices, but are not absolutes, you can definitely try shades for a skin tone that differs from yours (for instance MAC Lipstick in Morange can be worn by a multitude of tones). The general idea is the darker your skin, the deeper and brighter you can go with your lip color.


P.S. For a fire orange lip, try MAC Lady Danger Lipstick with Make Up For Ever Waterproof Lip Pencil in 17C and then top it off with Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss in Temper.
