The Orange Lip

Mac - So Chaud, Urban Decay Revolution - Bang, Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet - Peach Club, Nars Satin Lip Pencil - Timanfaya

I used to wear red lipstick as a staple but lately I've been branching out into oranges and purples. I think Orange lips are perfect for the warmer seasons and really pop against pale skin. I wear it with simple black eyeliner, mascara and a bit of contour on the cheeks.
Here are some of my favourites.

L-R Bourjois Peach Club, Nars Timanfaya, Mac So Chaud, Urban Decay Bang

Urban Decay Revolution: Bang

Firstly, Urban Decay Bang. Its a vibrant orange-red. The Urban Decay Revolution lipstick formula is one of my favourites for being long wearing without being drying. It feels creamy and lightweight on the lips, so much so that you can forget you're wearing it until you look in a mirror and see that it hasn't budged. I find the colour range in these lipsticks to lean very pink, there aren't a lot of options for a nude beige or peach but Bang is a must have.

Nars Satin Lip Pencil: Timanfaya

This is my first Nars Satin Lip Pencil, Id tried the matte formula and was impressed with how lightweight it was and when I saw Timanfaya as part of the new spring collection I couldn't resist. It leans more of a true orange than the other three options listed here and has a golden shimmer running through it. Its so vibrant I absolutely love it. I wore it all day with a couple of touch ups and was really impressed with the staying power.

Mac: So Chaud

Mac So Chaud is one of Macs matte lipsticks. Like Bang, its a red-orange and the two are very similar. I love the matte finish of this Mac lipstick although I wouldn't wear it for a long day as I find it can be drying. Between this and Urban Decay Bang Id say you don't need both, so go for Bang as its more moisturising on the lips with the same staying power.

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet: Peach Club

Lastly, Bourjois Peach Club, this is meant to be a peach colour and its actually one of the nude colours in the range but I find it leans orange on my skin tone and its more bold than I expected. The Rouge Edition Velvet range is one I was hesitant over, as at £8.99 I think its pretty pricey for a high street brand, however formula is incredible. Its one of the mist lightweight lipsticks I've tried and it stains the lips so well that only makeup remover will take it off. This one stays put all day. It reminds me of the Hourglass liquid lipsticks only you can layer this and touch it up if you need to (which you won't).
