So, yes, I'm tired of the winter trends, I said it! We're in February, it's time to get jazzed for Spring looks and pastel colors and well, all the fashion weeks that have been starting to gear up. Did you check out Paris' Couture Fashion Week two weeks ago? Be still my heart! It makes me so excited for NYFW I'm not going to lie.
BUT I'm getting ahead of myself. So all of the Spring Fashion's are starting to hit the stores, along with the Spring makeup looks that graced the runway. A couple I feel like could actually be wearable for everyday looks and I just got really excited over them. The first one that I've been mad about, and I never thought I would be, is Matte Taupe Eyes with a Bright Orange Lip.

Now don't you worry glammies, I've been doing research on these lips, because you aren't the only one's who started to cringe when you thought about putting orange anywhere near your face or mouth. Although, I will say, this year has been the year I broke into orange cosmetics on my face...it's been a weird change lol.
Okay, so sorry off track, I have found a couple shades that I am just loving for orange lipstick right now.
The first one is actually the one that most of the makeup artists working on the show used, it's from MAC and it's called Morange. It's an amplified lipstick and has a satin sheen to it, but it tends to dry down to a more velvety consistency.
This lipstick is definitely classified as an editorial "loudmouth" lipstick on MAC's website, and they would be right. The color pops off any skin tone like a dream. It's vibrant without being obnoxious and with a little bit of redder tone to it, it doesn't sallow the skin. You can find this lipstick for $15 online or at MAC counters.
The next one I have been loving is what I would say, the "set it, forget it" orange lip for my busy gals. This one I hope will be a permanent collection to the Revlon Balm Stains. So Mischevious is part of the Matte Balm Stains that came out this winter from Revlon. It has all the qualities of the original balm stains, it's hydrating, stains the lips, and is in a pencil so it's easy to apply.
There is one issue though, if you have dry lips, it's going to show off every dry spot on your lip, so you definitely, definitely want to exfoliate them before you use this product. This color although it looks dark in the tube goes on as more of a yellowy bright orange. It's absolutely beautiful on olive skin tones, I've gotten tons of compliments on it, but it may be a bit too light for darker skin tones, so it would be something to experiment with. I picked mine up at Ulta.com for $7.99. But I've seen these everywhere, I only ordered mine online for hygiene purposes, there isn't any packaging to keep people from testing out the balm stains in store, BLECK!
The final lip product I'm loving, is the most mellow of the bunch. It's definitely for the timid to gently ease you into the orange lip. It's another product from Revlon, one of their Color Burst Lip Butter's in Tutti Frutti.
Although it looks really really pigmented in the tube, it goes on more as a tinted lip balm then anything. The color is gorgeous, you get a hint of orange that just accentuates your lips to make them look a bit brighter and better. I've also paired this on top of the Matte Balm Stain to give it a little more hydration and a deeper color. Again, you can pretty much find these everywhere, I got mine at Ulta.com for $5.99.
I am really loving this look and I've even been playing with deepening up colors and changing textures by adding orange shadows over each of these products (which is also another tip to have your lip color stay all day). With a taupe eye and a slight winged liner, it has this updated Bridget Bardot feel to it, and chases those PNW blues away.
Take a chance glammies!! You'll be surprised what orange can do for your complexion and how you hold yourself once you take that first leap of faith into the unknown that is this bright "wild" color.
