Pretty orange-tinged red lipstick is a big color trend, popping up on models' lips at fashion shows as diverse as Christian Dior, Viktor & Rolf, and Zac Posen. But how does it look when you take it off the runway and onto the street? We've photographed how the shade works on four women with different skin tones and hair colors, so check out just how varied it can be.

This is SUCH a useful post, love it! I'm terrible with liking an eyeshadow/lipstick/lipgloss colour from a photo and assuming it'll look the same on me; it's fascinating to see the difference. (PS that Coco Mademoiselle worn by Vanessa Paradis on the ad? Looked awful on me!)

Thanks so much, LadySeven! I love that thing. I got it from Janeane Basil on Etsy and haven't looked back :) Girlfunk, I'll definitely be doing more of these from here on out. I think they're a really useful tool for considering color, and it's cool to see how much your own skin, clothing, and hair affects the way it comes out.
