Orange Lipstick On Dark Skin

Orange Lipstick On Dark Skin

Okay, I admit it. I’m a sucker for lipstick. I love it. In fact, I’d even venture as far as to say I’m obsessed. Fine, are you happy now? I’m obsessed. Matte finish, cream finish, glossy, you name it. I love it.  I’d pretty  much wear any color on the planet. And right now, I’m all about orange.

I think orange lipsticks can work year round, especially if you’re a girl who likes to go bold. That being said, toning down an orange lippie can be done fairly easily. For women of color, I would suggest using a brown lipliner in your skin shade (Cork or Chestnut in Mac work nicely for me), or a red lip liner (Mac’s Cherry is divine). Red liners can warm up an orange lipstick so it blends better. Personally, I prefer more reddish orange shades. Here are a few of my favorite orange lipsticks on dark skin.

    The lipstick looks great on you! Definitely goes with your skin color. 🙂

  2. I have an orange and coral lipstick by MAC that I love. I do agree that the orange needs to be toned down. I really need to get into the habit of busying lip liners. They really are amazing. Thanks for the suggestions you made in this post. BTW, I love your hair!
