Beauty junkies, I’ve got a hot tip for you. In fact, it’s so hot, it’s sizzling. Sizzling Orange.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen so many beauty outlets jump on a single trend. Normally, trend reports are pervaded with wishy-washy predictions, such as bold lips… or nude lips. Fresh faced… or dewy glow. Right.
So it’s incredibly refreshing that so many designers, artists and editors have drawn a thick line in the sand, collectively staking their reputations based on the expected popularity of this fiery shade. And when Vogue, Glamour, Harpers Bazaar and Cosmopolitan – among others – declare orange lips as the one trend to try for Spring 2014, you know it’s time to tango with tangerine.

Now I’ll be the first to admit that orange lips just aren’t for me. As much as I love to adopt trends, I have too many 90’s flashbacks when I try warmer shades. However, I’m thinking an orange creamsicle pout is the perfect fun and flirty look for an evening out with the girls, and may just invest in a lipstick or two.
oh no I dont like orange lipstick.
Ha! It’s one of those colours you can either take or leave. I’m not really a fan either :)
wow very vibrant! not for me though
Surprised at just how neon the shade really is!
The closest I ever got to orange was a coral (more pink than orange) lipstick. Definitely not my colour LOL
Orange for me looks best on my plate or in my juice glass LOL
I’ve dabbled in coral from time to time, but even though I think it’ll look strange on me, I’m thinking I at least need to try orange. I’ll keep y’all posted!
I really like this look but I’m worried about it making my teeth look yellow!
Oooh… never thought of that, good point! I noticed that none of the models are smiling, LOL
Orange Lipstick – not for this girl!!!
Hahah touche!
I have to say nay on this trend for me — I love how it looks on those ladies though!
I really want to see someone rock it in real life. I have to know!!!
love the neon orange shade
Oh yeah? Would you wear it?
Eeeee. Not a trend I will be jumping on. :/ I don’t know.. It just looks… off?
What I want to know is if real ladies at the supermarket will be wearing it come spring, LOL!
I am just not into orange. It is so not my colour.
I don’t mind wearing it as a colour, but on my lips? Nervous.
The bright orange shade is too loud for my skin tone. I wouldn’t mind trying a shade that has a little bit of an orange-bronzey tone.
Yes, a bronze would definitely make the shade more wearable – great tip!
I don’t care for it at all, maybe on some it would look alright, but not for me
I think it may look okay on the runway, but I’m not convinced for everyday wear.
i love the colour – just not on my own lips ;-)
I think I’m with you Nicky!
Orange is definitely hard to pull off for most people. I think I’ll stick to the pinks and reds.
I think so too! And I love my pinks and reds :)
Not for me!
Thanks for chiming in!
not a fan of orange and I wouldn’t wear it. that being said it is nice to have more color options for those who like orange or other colors
Indeed! And there are so many shades of orange to try too!
As with most beauty trends, I cant get on board with this one. Orange always gives my mouth a green tinge. :/ I do like the color though.. just not for lips
Green tinge… so interesting!
Hmmmm… Don’t know if I could do this. I did have glasses with some orange in it – a warm dark orange, and I did like that. But orange lipstick might be too strange for me.
I like that you rocked some colour with your glasses frames!
Sorry I can’t do it. Orange just brings out yellow undertones in my skin. I cant even handle much orange in clothing..
I think that’s a common concern for sure.
I love orange lips instead of the classic red. My favorite is Morange by MAC!
Oh NICE!! Happy to meet a fan!
I would love to rock this!!! Was considering getting this from my go-to brand, Stila, but might actually go for something from YSL or Chanel. Loving the lip colours in the first pic.
GO for it Jasmin! Not many women are confident enough to pull it off… I love the YSL colour myself :)
I think I will pass on this trend
LOL! Totally your prerogative!
Orange lipstick is very on trend! I’m not sure I’m bold enough to wear it, but it looks amazing :)
Glad you love the trend Carly!
Hmm.. not sure it will work on me, but I will try! Perhaps Coral would do :P
That’s the spirit – you won’t know until you try!
Thanks for the post.
Welcome!
I never have been able to wear lipstick properly, maybe it is a self conscious thing.
I’m going to have to break out the self tanner! I find orange tough to wear without t ton of makeup on or at least a bit of tanner to the skin. Love the ysl colours, very tempting!!!
You would definitely need the right skin tone to carry this off.
Orange…hmmm, flirty, unique and different. I would try it :)
I’m not sure it would be good for everyday wear.
