We love a red lip year round but the warm weather makes us want to give our classic shade a rest and experiment with bright colors like orange (and pinks!) instead. Although orange lipstick is a bold choice, it’s a versatile color and there are shades that flatter every skin tone. “When it comes to orange lipsticks, there are so many options — from bright to subdued,” explains makeup artist and beauty influencer Jaleesa Jaikaran. “For warm skin, red-based oranges work really well, and on fairer skin tones, both bright and coral hues complement the skin beautifully.” Ahead, find a cheat sheet to the best orange lipsticks for your skin tone.Our Favorite Orange Lipsticks for Light Skin TonesWarm up a fair complexion with a bright orange shade. The Lancôme L'Absolu Rouge Hydrating Lipstick in Rouge Flamboyant is a bold, matte orange shade that's sure to turn heads. For a look that screams summer, choose a vibrant coral. We like the YSL Beauty Tatouage Couture Velvet Cream Liquid Lipstick in Coral Symbol, a creamy, non-drying matte that brings the heat.
