DIVA DISH: All About Orange

DIVA DISH: All About Orange

MAC launches it’s All About Orange collection on June 6th. And as an orange-lover (cosmetically speaking), I know all too well the appeal of this shocking shade. Distilled down: It’s all about defiant energy.

Orange requires a confidence that can’t be faked. Because when you wear it — and I’m talking lipstick specifically — get ready to turn heads and possibly raise eyebrows. Orange is not classic like red, not girly like pink, not vampy like maroon, not mod like nude – orange is bright and sunny yes, but at the same time a little dangerous.

To me, the woman who paints her lips true orange isn’t simply nonconventional, she’s anti-convention. She’s not afraid of attention or a bit of controversy. She’s got guts. 

She’s my kind of girl.

So in honor of the shade itself and the new line debuting in a little over a week, here are my TOP 3 FAVORITE ORANGE LIPSTICKS (no surprise, 2 of which are MAC)…

1. MAC LIPMIX in ORANGE

2. MAC PRO LONGWEAR LIPSTICK in GOOD TO GO

3. MAYBELLINE COLOR SENSATIONAL COLOR VIVIDS in ELECTRIC ORANGE 

Now, if you want to cautiously dip your toe into the sea of orange before diving right in, you’ve got options too. I recommend a “gateway gel” of sorts, as it’s a sheer tint of vibrant color that will get you warm and cozy before you take the full plunge. Try Maybelline Color Sensational Color Whisper in Orange Attitude. 

Kisses!
