Orange is the New Black*


Orange is a lip colour that I always associate with summer, and have been wearing a lot recently. I thought today I'd show you three different options for wearing orange lipstick, using three of my favourite orange lipsticks.

1. The Sheer- Revlon Lipbutter in 'Tutti Frutti'

While it might look a bit scary in the bullet,this lipstick is perfect for the orange-intimidated; it gives a very sheer wash of  orange/coral colour, but nothing too bright or extreme.

2. The Coral- Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in 'Cinnamon Bronze'

The higher coverage (though still very moisturising)/slightly darker version of Tutti Frutti, Cinnamon Bronze is still a fairly muted down colour, perfect for day wear.

3. The Bright- Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in 'In Love With Ginger'

Or, if you would prefer to go for the brighter option, as I often do, there's In Love With Ginger. As you can see from the pictures, while this looks orange in the bullet and in swatches (see below), on the lips it looks like more of a red/orange hybrid; the perfect summer bright.
