Lady danger and Dangerous are definitely reds on me. My favorite orange is a L’Oreal Infallible color called Coral Seduction.
That sounds gorgeous! 🙂
I gotta go with Flame.Lady Danger is a close second.
Lady Danger is a classic!
I’m cool toned with some yellow undertones and have always avoided bright orange lipsticks, but Maybelline Craving Coral really surprised me. After seeing it on Temptalia, I bought on a whim during Ulta sale. If I warm up my face with a little orange blush, I can pull it off, and it’s a very pretty, brightening, pop of color.
That is so amazing, Katherine! It must be nice to have a good go-to orange-y shade.
My favorite orange matte is NARS’ Red Square!
Awesome!
That’s been on my “to-buy” list for ages. Though I’m overloaded with lip products at the moment so it’ll probably be a while before I get it 🙁
I love these lists! I know this might be a much bigger task that it would seem to a reader, but would it be possible to add a picture of the applied look as well? Especially for the lip product lists it would be really cool to see a picture of your lips below or next to the product so we can see the finish/payoff. Yes I could just click the links… but it would be so pretty all together! 🙂
You can click “view swatches” to see them all in a single click!
Ha, of course it was there all along 🙂 Awesome, thanks!
I think the only lipstick I own that is bright orange AND matte is Kat von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in A Go-Go, which I really love and wear a lot. I like that it’s neon bright and doesn’t make my teeth look yellow.
Ha, ha! I forgot that I do have one more: Jeffree Starr Velour Liquid Lipstick in Anna Nicole. It’s not as yellow or neon as A Go-Go, but still very bright and pretty.
That’s a fun one!
Drug-store: Wet n Wild Megalast in Purty Persimmon and 24 Carrot Gold are both great ones. Sorry, I was really sleep deprived yesterday, and I couldn’t remember what I had and liked.
I have only one matte orange lipstick, MAC Lady Danger, and I love that one! Time to bring her back out to work her loveliness on my lips. For an inexpensive matte orange, I highly recommend Nyx Matte Lipstick in Indie Flick. It is a stunner, and it lasts for hours on!
Perfect weather for it, LOL!
Oh yeah!!! Too, too soon!
I don’t really do truly matte lipsticks so any oranges that I have are not in that finish. Saying that, I do have MAC Lady Danger in one of their lip palettes but I think I’ve only had it on the once, just to try it. Now. I could recommended a few non-matte oranges if that’s what anyone’s looking for! I know that that’s not what the post is asking but hey ho.
Tom Ford Lips & Boys Rafael (I’ve seen other swatches online where it looks more red or coral but it’s orange on me!)
Ellis Faas Hot Lips L402 Bright Orange (it’s exactly what it says it is and I love this formula!)
OK, so I could only think of two off the top of my head but if I think of anything else I’ll let you know. ?
Did you not like Lady Danger on, Gillian?
The closest I can get is the Sephora Collection Matte Lip Cream in 10 Mandarin Muse.
Sounds orange to me 😉
When it comes to names I am not good. I love bright matte orange lipsticks and I have a few pictures in my mind but just cannot recall the names. I definitely have tooooo many lipsticks. Only one I remember now is Mac forbidden sunrise. I really like this colour although it is a little bit drying out my lips.
Christine I would love to see the same post with bright/neon pink lipsticks which I love even more than orange.
I just did one a couple of weeks ago – http://www.temptalia.com/10-shades-of-cotton-candy-pink-lipsticks
Thanks.
Fabulous list! You can’t go wrong with Lady Danger.
Thanks, Chris!
