How to Wear Orange Lipstick

A Quick, Easy Way to Wear Orange Both Day and Night

May 27, 2010

I mentioned earlier that orange lipstick would be back in a big way, and the always trendy Sienna Miller is the latest star to wear the warm-toned shade. Last night at the launch of Matthew Williamson's new store in London, she paired her dramatic, bold lips with a barely there eye makeup. It's a look that's perfect for both day and night, so to find out how you can get a similar effect at home just keep reading.

Think you can't wear orange? Think again. Orange brings out the blue in blue eyes, helps green eyes pop, and complements the warmth of brown eyes. To try Sienna's take on the trend, all you really need is two products: an orange or bold coral lipstick used on both the cheeks and lips, and a softly blended gold shadow. Try the multitasking MAC Cremeblend Blush in Optimistic Orange ($18.50) or Milani Lip Color in Orange Gina ($3.50) with Topshop Amazon Crayon in Sun Shower ($14) or CoverGirl Eye Enhancers Eye Shadow in Golden Sunrise ($3.50).

I think the color suits her. That big awkward smear of lipstick does not.

She's a pretty girl, but orange lipstick makes her look like she's a mental patient. I think because the lipstick is over the lip line, it seems, like she just drew it in a circle. I'm not sure if it's the colour or application I don't like here...
