Friday Five: Orange Lipstick


Orange is a huge trend right now and has been for some time and I'm loving every second of it. Orange lips are such a fun way to brighten up your look for the summer or put a twist on a classic look. Here's just a few of my favorites.

Lancôme Color Design in Tango FusionThis is my all-time favorite orange lipstick. It's a true orange with amazing opaque coverage that's more or less glides on. 
Maybelline Baby Lips Electro Lip Balm in Oh! OrangeI know, a lip balm isn't really a lipstick but this one has amazing pigmentation for a balm and it's a great way to start off if too bold of an orange lip frightens you.
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in SirenThe Revlon formula is one of my favorites for drugstore lipsticks. This shade is bright and opaque while being just a tad lighter than the Lancôme shade.
Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids Lipcolor in Vibrant MandarinFor a more red orange, I love this one. While it's still quite vibrant, the red tones give it a more classic feel.
Maybelline Color Elixir in Orange Aglow: I'm in love with the Color Elixir formula and this is no exception. Orange Aglow is wonderful to wear on its own for a sheer wash of orange or over any orange lipstick for a glossy finish. Unfortunately this muted neon shade was limited edition (although you could probably find it on ebay/amazon if you wanted to) but they still have a classic orange as part of their permanent collection
