It is believed that not all girls will fit orange lipstick. In fact, this is not so, because there are many of its variations and shades.

How to choose a shade of lipstick?
Remember one important rule that works with almost every lipstick: before buying, bring it to your mouth and smile as wide as possible. If, in comparison with this lipstick, your teeth look more yellow, then the remedy does not suit you.
Of course, you should not choose lipstick solely by this rule. In order to choose the right shade of orange lipstick, first deal with your color type. The tone mainly consists of mixing two colors: yellow and red. And the shade is obtained depending on which color has the advantage. Let's see what shades suit each type.
Shades and skin types
- Light-skinned girls are perfect for softer, peach colors, as well as very bright and saturated.
- If your skin is not light, but not dark, take a look at the choice of very bright carrot or coral shades.
- For dark-skinned girls with dark skin, red-orange lipstick, a dark caramel color and dark carrot are perfect.
- Girls who have a soft and pink skin tone should look at variations such as fiery and caramel shades - they perfectly accentuate your natural blush.
- But the owners of a warm undertone are recommended to take a closer look at amber and carrot shades.
If you suddenly bought too dark lipstick, try the following life hack: powder your lips after applying lipstick. Try mixing different shades of lipsticks if the color doesn’t suit you, like orange and red, to get a richer shade.
Who does not suit the orange tint
Orange lipstick is not suitable except for owners of very pale skin. It will only emphasize your flaws, circles under the eyes, add even more fatigue. After all, you don’t want to emphasize what you want to hide? We advise pale-faced girls to take a closer look at delicate, pink and refreshing lipsticks: they will add freshness and a pleasant color to your face.
How to use orange lipstick?
You will create a spectacular and unique image if you follow some important rules. Thanks to the competent application and use of orange shades of lipsticks, you will undoubtedly make a good impression.
- Before applying all makeup as a whole, you should always prepare not only the skin, but also the lips. Make some kind of scrub so that there are no flaky particles, and moisturize your lips properly. Without these actions, the product can coolly emphasize the uneven surface and peeling of the lips.
- Orange matte lipstick. Do not use any shine regardless of the shade you choose.
- Makeup should have only one accent - remember this important rule. If you prefer bright lips, you should not do bright eye makeup, and vice versa. Orange is a pretty bright and unusual color in makeup. Therefore, the natural skin tone and only slightly accentuated eyebrows and eyes will look most advantageous with it.
- Do not use bright shades of lipstick if you have any redness or imperfections on your face. Bright accents in makeup will only inevitably emphasize them.
- Orange, unfortunately, is considered one of the most moody colors. It is quite difficult to immediately select the right shade and not be mistaken. Therefore, when purchasing you will have to try many lipsticks. But you will get an incredible effect and emphasis on the lips, which will make your image especially attractive.
- If you decide on an orange lipstick, do not forget that this color is very striking. That is why lipstick should be applied carefully, and throughout the day look as often as possible in the mirror and carefully adjust makeup.
What to combine such lipstick with?
We have already figured out that with the presence of such a bright accent on the lips, you should not make the same bright eyes, because it will look at least vulgar. With the orange color of the lipstick, natural makeup and barely tinted eyelashes will look great. It is ideal for both gentle makeup and evening wear. Both will look equally impressive! The main thing - do not use colors other than orange: makeup should be done in about the same color scheme. As for the whole image as a whole, try complementing it with another orange thing. Try, for example, shoes or some other interesting accessory.
Remember the important rule: you do not need to do massive eye makeup if you already have an orange lipstick on your lips. Of course, you can make up eyebrows, but you do not need to draw eyes. If it seems very unusual to you and even to some extent risky, try to barely tint eyelashes, apply natural shadows, draw a crease of the eyelid or add small and delicate arrows. Highlight all the brightest areas of the face with a highlighter, draw cheekbones. Thus, you will get a catchy look with bright lipstick.
