Hi Christine, I’ve been looking for an orange lipstick for the summer and it’s proven more difficult than I expected! After seeing your gorgeous swatches for Maybelline’s Electric Orange and Vibrant Mandarin, I went to test them in store and found that Electric Orange shows up on me as more of a coral, and Vibrant Mandarin is a pinkish red! Neither look really orange on my pale East Asian skin. I have a lot of yellow in the surface of my skin but I’m pretty sure my undertones are olive, not warm. Any idea what I should be looking for to get a really orangey orange? Should I be looking for oranges with more yellow in their base? Do you have any to recommend? Thanks!
You might want to look for a really yellow-based red — think more tangerine, less orange orange. Go lighter, less dark.
Ravishingly Rich is a true Doppelganger, nice!
It is!
Oh good! I have Electric Orange, I don’t have to buy Morange. MAC lipsticks are better for me, they last longer, but I can do with reapplying to save a bit.
Thanks for posting this!
Hmmm, none of these seem to have the slight peachy tone it does.
