Orange is HOT this season. The runways are filled with this color and the world is being bathed in its beauty by our Good Lord - The Sun.
I am a recent fan of this color on my lips but have been a life long fan of the color itself. My mom calls it the
Gold Spot Color. Gold Spot is a orange soda that was very popular in India several years back but unfortunately is no longer available. Damn you Coca- Cola.
Coming back to the lipstick, I cant get over the versatility of this shade. No matter what your skin tone, finding the right orange will be just as sexy an experience as finding your own red. Several brands have an orange in their collection but if all else fails, I'll tell you how to make your own orange lipstick ! Don't worry I
gotchu covered !
My Favorite Orange LipsticksI have a few orange, orange-
ish lip products. All summer I have been wearing them with just a
bronzer and some mascara. The focus is on the lips because , because I said so. No, seriously nothing beats orange during summer. Orange trumps Pink. Orange trumps Red. Orange trumps every other color. These are some of the orange lipsticks I love...

The Beauty of Mixing ColorsYou don't really
have to buy orange lipstick. Layer a peach gloss over a orange-
ish red lipstick or a orange-
ish red lip pencil and voila it becomes orange ! My pick would be to layer
Julie Hewett Lip Lush Chloe over
Julie Hewett Lipstick Belle
Noir.
Or you could layer a red gloss over peach-orange lipstick. I got a deeper orange by layering Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Lipgloss in Juicy Cherry over
Milani Cashmere.

Method If you're lips are feeling dry , first exfoliate them so they are soft and even. Apply a thin layer of
chap stick to aid the
softening process. Wait five minutes and wipe it off. Apply a thin layer of clear gloss all over your lips. Now take your orange blush. With a clean finger , take some color and spread it on your lips. Do it until you are satisfied with the
intensity of the shade. That's it ! Your new
orange lipstick is ready to be taken on a tour around your city !
Now go ahead and try this trick out while I go enroll myself for some Orange Lipstick Therapy.
