Tangerine Dream
This August why not think of orange lipstick as bright red's cooler cousin - its fun, flattering and oh so fresh looking, so slick some on and get ready to turn some heads... Citrus-toned lipstick is having quite a moment-and with good reason! Tangerine is this year's Pantone Color of the Year. But there are certain things to keep in mind if you're want to try out Jennifer Hudson's look. "Orange can be the hardest to wear of all the bright colors," said makeup artist Melanie Inglessis, who works with Lea Michele and Olivia Wilde. Keep reading to find out how tangerine can work for you.
People with fair skin and light hair like Kristen Bell should opt for peach-toned oranges. "Softer hues are more complimentary for those with fair skin and blond hair," Inglessis said. "Look for a light coral or peach shade you can layer." Chanel's Rouge Coco Shine in Flirt (£22 Chanel.com) looks bright in the tube, but it imparts a sheer wash of true coral on the lips.
If you have coloring similar to Solange Knowles, Inglessis advises looking for a bold tangerine with blue undertones. "The vivid color really pops against darker skin tones." I recommend the MAC Tendertone lip balm in Purring (£15; maccosmetics.com), a cool-toned orange that won't dry your lips.
