I was seeing a lot of orange lips on the red carpet nowadays which got me curious. I don't have any orange-hued lipstick in my meager lipstick collection so I decided to give this bold color a try. I didn't expect to love this one but surprisingly, it turned out to be not so bad.
This color applied satiny and turned out opaque and very buildable. I didn't have any trouble packing it in. You can apply once for a sheer look and more coats for impact and drama.
Overall: 24 Carrot Gold would definitely belong in my "bold-lip" category. When wearing this color, I suggest that you keep your face bare to achieve a fool-proof look. Strong smokey eyes plus an orange lip may be too much for daytime wear. On the other hand, the in-your-face orange look would be a great statement for a formal, nighttime look.
Here's a orange lip video tutorial from one of my fave makeup artist Lisa Eldridge. This video features Keira Knightley's orange lip look for a red carpet event.

Would you dare rock an orange lip?

ReplyDeleteThanks! I might wear this when the sun comes out. The weather has been gloomy lately. :)
