I feel like this is the year when everyone is looking at me a lot less insane for wearing orange lips & I’m loving it! I’m not afraid to rock a bright eye, cheek, or lip so orange is just too stinking fun no matter where I put it! Leticia of Cosmetics Aficionado put together an awesome blog hop to sing the praises or orange lips so of course I jumped right in! I went the more wild route but if you want to see some wearable orange posts just let me know in the comments!
Technically this is a gradient lip look but many people are calling these ombre lips. I’m not quite sure why… but that’s what they tell me! A gradient is a the fading of 2 or more shades into each other & for this look I paired orange with my natural favorite partner: bright pink. I can’t remember if it was last summer or the summer before but orange & bright pink paired together was SO in. I’ve always loved this combo so fashion be darned I’m going to rock it!

The orange is Maybelline Vivid shade in Orange Edge & the other is also a Vivid in Fuchsia Flash. These are BOTH limited edition shades & are still available now so if you like them…run to your nearest drugstore! I swatched these shades along with Pop of Cherry (which just might be my favorite!) recently here.

The makeup look I’m wearing was covered in my LORAC Glo-Getter tutorial. But it was pre-mascara so it is far less impressive here 😉 I obviously wear this combo with a more subdued eye…but the lighting was finally right for pictures so I went with it!

What do you think of this combo? Do you love orange lips? What are your favorite orange based shades so I can snap some up? Don’t forget to check out these other orange lip looks! Fabulous!
