Bold lips are the ultimate spring accessory. Seasons past have seen countless rebirths of berry, red or some permutation of pink. But this spring, it’s all about a poppy orange mouth. Versatile as it is bold, here we review the day and night guises of bright orange lips.
Fresh and Fun
Without a lot of other heavy makeup, an orange mouth feels like a juicy popsicle on a hot summer day. Curl your lashes but ditch any mascara other than clear and forgo the eyeliner. Use a dab of cover-up or concealer here or there but steer clear of rouge. Groom your brows perfectly to make the look young and warm.
Nighttime Glamour
For an edgier finish with a poppy pout, do a slight smudgy brown eye, an almost toned down smoky look. Put two or three coats of brown mascara on the bottom lashes and step out in style. Make things even more rock 'n' roll by opting for jet black, winged liquid liner and even false lashes. Or, try some retro glamorous white eye shadow.
Orange Musts
Picking the right kind of orange is essential. Here are a few pointers:
- Stick with matte shades, nothing pearly
- Go with a bluer based orange to keep teeth from looking yellow
- Try coral if your skin tone is very light as brighter orange does work best on more tanned skin
- Always use a lip brush, as precise application is pivotal with orange lips
