MAC Lipstick:It’s the only one I buy. I love the vanilla scent, the reasonable price, the wide array of colors and finishes. There’s a decent length of wear, but they’re not “long lasting.” My only complaint is that they can be a bit drying.

So Chaud by MAC is my favorite! I’m wearing it here with a bit of gloss over it to make it more “day time” appropriate: http://tiny.cc/matndw. It’s just red enough that it’s a too in your face like some oranges can be.

I’ve not got my true orange yet, but after seeing your pics I’m very tempted to find one :0) It looks fun and vibrant. I do believe in ex foliating lips for colours such as these, it true they do show imperfections on lips.

I LOVE that orange on Eva! I’m actually on the hunt for a good orange lip color and that one is in the family of oranges I want. It’s bold and fiery, which is perfect for spring/summer. Can’t wait to cop me the perfect one!

Thanks for sharing, I am ga ga for orange at the moment as it helps to brighten up the dismal weather we are having in London. I am on a mission for awesome orange lips and will definitely try out your suggestions. I have had success by using a brown lip pencil with MUA’S coral, MAC so chaud and MAC vegas volt.

I haven’t worked up enough nerve to go all out orange, but a while back I found a nice orangy-coral that works well for my dark skin. It’s a shimmery, kind of sheer lipstick and I LOVE it. Unfortunately, it’s been discontinued. Although I can still find it in some corners of the web, the hunt is on for a replacement. Hopefully one of your suggestions will work!

Thanks for sharing Tia’s tip for toning down the orange lipsticks. Now you have me excited about finding the right orange lip color so off to Sephora I go. I will try your recommendations first to see if they work for me.

Orange fever in spring and summer! Not everyone knows hot to work out an orange lipstick and yes, you are totally right that bright lipsticks show peeling unfortunately. Thanks for the tip of using a scrub. This is the second time someone advised to check Sephora for orange makeup; they probably got a good collection. Cheers!
