Tip Tuesday 'Summer Beauty Look': Orange Lip + Smoky Eye

Posted by Alexandra C. | Tuesday June 4, 20138 comments


Summer time means that it's time to put away the burgundy and plum coloured lipsticks and try on fuschias, pinks and tangerines! It's a time to have a little fun and experiment with your beauty routine. One of my favourite lip colours for warm weather season is a great orange. I love that it can take the place of a statement red during the summer, without being over powering. 

MAC recently released their 'All About Orange' collection online (it will soon hit stores June 6th) and the collection features gorgeous shades all in the hue of orange as well as a great accompanying smoky eye palette. This got me thinking about the perfect, trendy summer look: grey smoky eye + orange lips.

It's wearable enough to get away with during the day but bold enough to test out for a ladies night. It's trendy but over the top and high fashion without being avant garde. It's the right blend of fun and dramatic. 

Here are a few orange-tastic lip products to try out: 



1. Joe Fresh Lip Tint in Crush (C$6.00)

2. Le Metier de Beaute Colour Core Moisture Stain Lipstick in San Tropez (C$35.50) 

3. Joe Fresh Rose Gloss in Coral (C$6.00)

4. MAC All About Orange Lipstick in Neon Orange (C$18.00)

5. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar Stained Gloss in Androgyne (C$21.00)
 
6.Paul & Joe Limited Edition Lip Gloss in Dream a Little (C$24.5.50)

7. MAC All About Orange Lipstick in Sweet & Sour (C$18.00)
 
And some smoky eye shadows to go with them (plus don't forget lashes!): 

 
 
1. Guerlain Écrin 4 Couleurs Eyeshadows in Les Fumes (C$65.00) 

2. Sephora Collection Colourful Palette in Smoky Black (C$31.00)

3. MAC All About Orange Eyeshadow Palette 'Rainy Season' (C$47.50)

4. CoverGirl Flamed Out Mascara (US$9.92)
 
5. CoverGirl Flamed Out Shadow Pot (US$5.99) 
 
6. bareMinerals Ready Eyeshadow 4.0 in The Afterparty (C$38.00)

I received an orange lipstick from ChickAdvisor after winning a weekly contest, and I love it. I just have't found the confidence to actually wear it outside yet, haha.

I'm not big on orange lipsticks, but it does look nice the model.

I just bought an orange/coral lipstick and I am obsessed! I have Revlon Colour Stay Ultimate Suede in Cruise Collection and I would highly recommend it!

I am not a huge fan of orange lipsticks, I tend to like more of a light coral colour. I just checked out the swatches for MAC Sweet & Sour, and I think I am loving that shade!
