Tangerine Lip Pose Off: Comment to Win!
Pantone's colour for 2012 was recently announced as Tangerine Tango; since being introduced to the colour, we've gone bananas for tangerine! First we tried it out on our nails and loved the results! We also dug up a few options for tangerine makeup but weren't sure if this look was actually wearable... so we decided to Pose Off in Tangerine by experimenting with different shades and skin tones. We invited a friend along, Xolisa, who was kind enough to lend us her time and our guinea pig for the day- special thanks goes out to her!
Orange you glad we're here to test out these trends for you?
Sorry guys, couldn't resist the pun...
Lorna
Lorna used Mary Kay Creme Lipstick in Give Dreams (C$13.00) with MAC Lipglass in Ola Mango (C$17.50) to create a red-orange with pinkish hues. The bold colour in contrast to her minimal makeup lets her lips standout to create a statement without being overwhelming.
Alexandra
Alexandra used Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Grandma (US$13.00) for an opaque and bright orange lip. This one isn't for everyone but Alexandra likes the peachy undertones for a lip that can be transitioned from day to night.
Mandy
Mandy used MAC Lustre Lipstick in Surprise (C$17.50) for an intense orange lip that complements her subtle pink blush and basic eye makeup. We like that this look is all about the orange: it makes the shade really pop on her olive skin.
Xolisa
Xolisa used MAC Amplified Creme Lipstick in Morange (C$17.50) for a lip that is perfect for her skintone. We think this shade is sophisticated and chic on Xolisa. We love the tangerine lip because it brings a little something extra to a basic look and in this case, it's no exception!
What do you think of the tangerine lip on us? Is this one a keeper or should we ditch the look? Leave us a comment telling us who you like the tangerine lip on best by January 22nd, 2012 for your chance to win!

I think Mandy pulls it off the best. Between to pale of skin and to dark of skin there's the in the middle tone that seems to suit and pull this color off. I don't care for Tangerine on the lips as it causes your teeth to look more yellow. not a favorite color trend ! | |
I like Alexandra's lip color the best | |
I love it! You guys all look great. I thought that Mandy pulled it off best. | |
I love Alexandra's look! | |

I think that all the looks are great, but I think I like Alexandra and Mandy's the best. | |
I think I like Alexandra the best - though it was a hard pick! |
