Lip Stash by Hue: The Oranges

Hi, everyone! After some more subdued brownish tones in my last lipstick post, I thought I'd switch it up to something a bit bolder! We all know I never shy away from a vibrant lip and one of my favourite hues for Spring and Summer is orange. It's such a warm, juicy, fun kind of colour! It turns out a have quite a few oranges in my collection. Ranging from sheer fruity shades to vivid, saturated near-reds, I think I have an orange for every taste! 



Here are the slightly coral oranges and paler, true oranges in my stash:


NYX Butter Gloss in Peach Cobbler
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Rendezvous
Colour by TBN Kiss & Makeup #881
Lime Crime Unicorn Lipstick in My Beautiful Rocket
MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick in Korean Candy


And the more saturated, slightly red-tinged oranges in my collection:


Revlon Moon Drops Lipstick in Orange Flip
Wet N' Wild Mega Last Lip Colour in Purty Persimmon
NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Iberico (Limited Edition)
Urban Decay Super Saturated High Gloss Lip Colour in Punch Drunk


Here are all of my orange-toned lipsticks swatched on my inner arm (MAC NC15 skin tone):

And each in the context of a completed makeup look:

MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick in Korean Candy

Revlon Moon Drops Lipstick in Orange Flip

Wet N' Wild Mega Last Lipstick in Purty Persimmon

NARS Satin Matte Lip Pencil in Iberico

Urban Decay Super Saturated High Gloss Lip Colour in Punch Drunk

Sporting all of these shades reminded me of just how much I am deeply smitten with orange lipsticks. Revlon Rendezvous has been a longtime favourite for a sheer, completely wearable orange and, on the other end of the spectrum, NARS Iberico is a newer love that is such a stunning bold, matte option. My Beautiful Rocket wins the prize for the most true, unique orange in my stash, and MAC Korean Candy is the ultimate pick for a glossy, juicy lip. Honourable mention goes to Wet n' Wild Purty Persimmon for being the most amazing budget orange out there!

Have I tempted you with any of these bold hues? What are your favourite orange lipsticks?

Thanks for reading, as always! :)

    I have been all over orange this spring (so far, anyway). Honestly, the only lip products I've purchased lately have been orange or coral. (A lip pencil and two lipsticks.) Obsessed!

    Some of these you can't even really tell they are orange. I like to more red ones.

    I don't wear orange lipsticks, they just don't fit me well. But they're looking really beautiful on you! (:

    I am loving these lipstick swatching posts! Orange always seems so scary but it looks good on every skin tone. The NARS Matte Lip Pencil might be my favourite :)

    I don't have anything w/an orange hue actually. I think I'd love to have something like 881 - it's a perfect cross b/w orange and coral it seems like.

    I own one true orang-y red from Maybelline but the formula is a bit slippery and in consequence, dangerous to wear :) I love this kind of colours and should definitively invest in a better quality one. Which is your favourite from the bench, I mean if you could pick just one? xx
