The ABSOLUTE Last Word on Orange Lips

I was all set to zip my mouth on the subject of orangey lips, but then Flame fuelled the fires of my love of all things tangerine by asking, "I wouldn’t mind trying an orange lipgloss, anyone know are they nice on?"

Ah girls, how could I resist helping her out? Orange is actually really nice and easy to wear. It pops on the lips and a sheer gloss is always going to be easier to wear than a matte lipstick. Try orange gloss in the summer with a tan, or for an evening look, try a little green liner on the eyes for a contrast. I've scoured Strawberrynet, and here are four sheer shades to try.
