How to Pull Off This Summer's Hottest Lipstick Trend

This summer's hottest lipstick trend? Orange, baby!Orange lips.

Now before you write-off this trend as an '80s flashback gone wrong, know that this is actually an incredibly wearable and flattering look. You just have to find the right shade for your complexion and personality. And don't forget black mascara and smoky dark brows.

From blood orange to tangerine, there's an orange shade for everyone. Read these tips on how to make this look work for you:







Peachy/Pink OrangePeachy/Pink Orange
The great thing about any color in the orange family is that it instantly adds warmth, whether your skin is pale or dark. If you're unsure, try either a pink-ish coral or a lighter peach - both universally flattering, and easy transitions into the orange trend.

Best For: Anyone who wants to dip their toe in the orange trend.

If you want to go for the orange yet are put-off by anything too opaque, go for a sheer tint, balm or gloss. It's also a lightweight option for summer.

Best For: Anyone scared of too much pigment. It's also a good choice for those who like gloss over matte, because bold orange looks best without too much shimmer.

A sun-kissed twist on the classic red lipstick

Best For: A red-orange lipstick looks flattering on virtually anyone, and it's a good compromise for anyone apprehensive about "vixen" red. For those with cool skin tones, opt for one that's heavier on the red to compliment your blue-based skin tone. Adding pink (like in coral shades) or red is always a good idea for ladies with fair skin and dark hair.

The bolder your lip color, the less makeup you should wear on the rest of your face. And a matte orange tends to be a little less jarring (and a little more fashionista) than one that's bold and glossy.

Best For: Anyone who wants to make a statement. Bright orange tends to look best on warmer complexions with dark or light hair.

If you feel like you need a little lip liner, an orange liner can look too clown-ish with orange lipstick - especially because the shades of orange can vary so drastically. That's why a nude skin-colored liner looks best with any orange lip color.

Yet an orange lip liner might be all you need. If you're on the fence about going orange, yet are tempted by the skin-brightening look, just lightly line your lips with orange and layer a neutral gloss over top.
