The ORANGE Lip

One of this seasons TOP TRENDS , hot off the runway and easy to achieve at home for a new , bright , bold and out-there look .
Wear it toned down during the day and amp it up for the evening!
The popular ‘red lip’ look is out the window …… welcome THE ORANGE LIP!

Straight from the Spring 2011 runways of some of the top designers in the fashion world such as :

Jill Stuart , Isaac Mizrahi , Marc Jacobs , Zac Posen , Lela Rose , Alice and Olivia , Temperley and many more.

For blondes , tone the colour down , wear more pastel tones with a nude eye.

For brunettes , amp the colour up with rich , matte tones and a smudged smoky , grunge eye.

To achieve a perfect ORANGE LIP ……

*Conceal the entire lip with your normal face concealer or invest in some lip primer.

*Line the outside and fill in the entire lip with a suitable lip liner colour.
*Apply your pick of orange lipstick. Best applied with a defining lip brush.
*For a matte finish lightly dust a translucent blotting powder over the top to set the colour in place.
*For a rich glossy finish apply your pick of lip gloss or balm.

Doing these step by step tips should ensure your colour stays in place for hours.

Here are some of my favourite products to create  this seasons orange lip ;)
