Summer trend: bright orange lips

We always associate the hot season with bright colors, non-standard solutions and breaking the rules in makeup. This summer, by tradition, we give preference to rich shades of orange, but we use them not only in eye makeup, but also on the lips. Orange lips look very fresh and impressive, becoming the main accent in the most colorful makeup!

Orange lipstick on the lips of models could be seen on the catwalks, in glossy magazines, in photo and video shoots, and legendary brands replenished their arsenals with lipsticks in a pure orange shade. A cheerful and refreshing color looks ideal against clear skin, slightly touched by the summer sun, thereby emphasizing its warmth and light tan.

Who suits orange lipstick?

Before using orange lipstick, let's figure out who it suits. This shade is most suitable for girls with tanned or dark skin, as well as those with dark skin. For girls with lighter skin, it is also quite possible to choose an orange lipstick to match their face, but only with warm undertones. If the model or client has a cool undertone, orange lipstick can give the face a sickly look.

Also pay attention to the color of the girl’s teeth. Fiery or coral lipstick will highlight even the slightest yellowness of the teeth, so in this case it is better not to use it for client makeup.

What to combine orange lips with?

If you are going to use orange lipstick, make sure that the client's skin looks perfect. The tone should be even, and all imperfections should be hidden with the help of a corrector. Conceal dark circles under the eyes with a thick concealer.

Orange is a very self-contained color, so combining it with other bright colors can be risky. Complement the color scheme with neutral shades: beige, brown, black or white.

Incredibly beautiful orange lipstick combines with expressive eyes, so generously paint the model’s eyelashes with black mascara, and if desired, draw a clear, expressive arrow. Don't forget to pre-color the space between the eyelashes with a dark pencil. If you need to use shadows, choose warm shades that are as close as possible to your skin color.

When choosing blush, do not forget - they should be in harmony with the color of the lipstick. Opt for warm peach and pastel orange tones to balance out the look. It is better to avoid cool pink tones. To give your skin a beautiful tan effect , use a matte or shimmer bronzer.

What lipsticks are suitable for this makeup?

To create expressive orange lips, you can use completely different beauty products. It can be an orange lip tint, matte lipstick, a cream-textured product, or even a translucent tinted gloss - it all depends on the effect you want to achieve.
