Orange lipstick is one of those bold makeup choices that I always thought was more about the attitude of the wearer than anything about their complexion, style, or any other superficial trait. That’s probably why I think out of the three ladies above Aggy pulls it off best — who knew one could look so bad-ass with orange lips! That said, besides confidence, the key to this trend is keeping the rest of your face understated and natural-looking (ie no blue eyeshadow and uber-pink cheeks!). Would you sport orange lipstick?

I’d give it a try (at home), since I love bold lips now and again, but no guarantee it would make it out of the house…I have a bit of olive undertones in my skin, and I would want to make sure it doesn’t make me look too sallow like Leighton there.
I absolutely love the bold orange lips. I would rock that look in a heart beat.
