Orange Lips: Get the look

Fashion trends are weird things. Sometimes we get a variations of a last years trend, sometimes we get what was fashionable a few years ago and sometimes we get the same thing that everyone makes out is the newest thing that as ever hit the Earth's surface. The orange lip trend is the latter.

But I'm not complaining. I love orange lips. If I'm honest, I just love any bold lip colour because it;s an easy way to spice up an old look and the easy woman's way of making look polished.

So, in the spirit of spring and summer I'll share with you some of my favourite ways to wear an orange lip.

Tutti Fruiti 

 

For fear of repeating myself I'm going to quickly mention Revlon's Lip Butter in Tutti Fruiti. I did mention this last week in my favourite spring lipsticks but it is the perfect way to wear orange lips if you are nervous about going full on.

NYX Lip Pencil Orange  

If you want a great, bold, deeper orange colour without having to touch up a lot throughout the day then it's best to use a lip liner all over the lips and the my lip liner of choice is NYX's offering of their slim pencil in Orange (no beating around the bush here with NYX). You'll like this if you Lady Danger by MAC.

I do love this product, the colours can be hit or miss but Orange is definitely a hit. It's dry enough to last and not travel but moist enough to not feel disgustingly stiff and waxy on the lips. I would moisturise the lips and let it sink in before applying the pencil to ensure maximum comfort. But this is a tip I would advocate doing regardless of what lip product you are wearing. If the lips are properly moisturised then they are less likely to absorb what goes on top if them, letting the product fade evenly throughout the day.

Revlon Balm Stain Matte Audicious

This is a stunning colour, however, it is a bit dry so be careful when applying it. I'm including it in this list because it really the orange colour of this year. It's in your face almost neon and it would look great with a tan or on darker skin tones because it would look even more neony.

This is also a great colour to layer. If you put a bright pink lipgloss over this it turns into the most beautiful pinky/orange sunset colour. It retains its boldness but changes to something more "pretty" rather than high fashion.

Sleek Eau La La Liner in Pumpkin

This pencil is a great colour if you want something not as bright as Revlon but still definitely orange. It goes on the lips as a gorgeous true orange. Like a Pumpkin, as the name suggests. Another great perk of these pencils is that they can be used all over the face. Orange liner is incredibly cool in the summer!

Let me know what your favourite orange colours are for this spring/summer! I'd love you know!
