MAC Morange Lipstick







I've really started to embrace bright lipsticks lately. By keeping the rest of my makeup quite neutral with the help of the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette & Illamasqua Naked Rose blusher, my lips have been screaming out for some bold colours. MAC Morange definitely fits the bill. Applied straight from the bullet this 'loudmouth orange' is not for the faint of heart. However if you're into orange colours but not full-on opacity lipsticks then this also looks gorgeous patted over some lip balm or lip gloss as a pretty summery tint. Orange isn't a colour I normally go for as whenever I've bought peach colours in the past they've always made me look drained. But this is a completely different shade of orange & it works on so many different skin tones. I personally think it looks stunning on Asian women. The colour is certainly more orange than red but theres still a slight crimson tint to it that makes it very wearable. I adore the formula of MAC's Amplified Creme lipsticks which deliver smooth intense colour in one swipe. It's just so pigmented and creamy! This lipstick really stays put and fades nicely into a stain. It does dry my lips out slightly so I think its important to use a good lip scrub & lip balm first to prep your lips properly before application.

In some ways I think its a great counterpart to Lady Danger which I also reviewed recently. They both are gorgeous bright orangey-reds but Morange leans orange and Lady Danger leans red. If you love one of these shades chances are you'll love the other one too. How do you feel about orange lipsticks?
