On Trend: Orange Lips

Hi guys!

Today I wanted to share the latest lip trend with you guys. Can you guess what it is?
Orange!
Yes, orange is the “in” color for lips this summer. At first I couldn’t believe that it would actually catch on but then I went and looked at the lip colors I had been reaching for recently. Somewhat to my surprise, the were all light apricot shades!
After that I thought to myself “ok, self. Let’s actually give this summer trend a chance” and I headed down to my local drugstore to find my top summer lip picks.

(sidenote) Lisa Eldridge also has a post with her picks for this trend. Check out her post here! She includes both drugstore and high end products as well as tutorials for how to wear orange lips without looking crazy.

L’Oreal Colour Caresse Wet Shine Stain in Coral Tattoo

This is by far the most orange of the bunch. I have heard that this one is a dupe for the YSL Kiss And Blush stain. I am tempted to go back and pick this one up for my more daring days. It starts as a gloss and ends as a longer lasting stain and the color pay off is super pigmented.

Maybelline Vivids in Electric Orange

This looks really scary in the tube but once swatched out on the hand it looses all it’s bite. It can be applied with a light hand for a light apricot stain to the lips or built up for a more orange look.

Revlon Colorbust Matte Balm in Mischievous

I gravitated towards the Revlon Balmstain products mainly because I know they are great products and have a love/obsession with them. This one is a nice soft apricot shade with (of course) a matte finish. This could easily be paired with a clear gloss if you love the color but don’t like matte finishes.

Revlon Lip Butter in Juicy Papya

This is one that I already had in my bowl of lip colors and has become of a recent favorite. If you haven’t already tried the Revlon Lip Butters, run out and test one out. They are lip balms on steroids! Super moisturizing, great buildable color, easy for the everyday, and can be applied on a dime. This shade in particular is a lovely soft apricot shade. Tutti Frutti is also a great shade with some more pink undertones.

Those are some of my top orange lip picks for this summer.
