Bittersweet Orange Hues.

Orange is a color about the heart freshening sunsets, it has got the perfect farrago of bright yet subtle hues. On one hand it's fiery and vivacious, on the other hand, it reminds me of an elegant artwork. However you depict, you cannot agree to disagree on the fact that it is a beautiful color and can be a very good choice for a day as well as the night look.

As I notice, we have come to a space where we are given tons of freedom regarding the ways we want to style. I'm not a stylist,

That reminds me I haven't introduced myself yet, I am Devisha Singh, I'm a beauty and fashion enthusiast and a lover of makeup. Well, you already know I'm not a stylist, but I do love the styling. This blog is a reflection of my ways of understanding fashion, beauty, and trends.

Now that you know me a little we can start with the trends and products I'm going to talk about today.

ABOUT THE TREND

Today I would like to talk about the color orange, to be more specific, about "orange lips", red lips have been in fashion for a long time now and a change was much needed, the other day I was wearing a white shirt and reached towards my nude lipstick when I saw an orange lipstick in my stash and thought of experimenting a little, I knew about the popularity of orange lips but never wore any, and why didn't I? I don't know, I'm just happy that day I did because I totally fell in love with the way it turned out on my lips and the way it complimented the white. Frankly speaking, I felt as if it just enhanced the look manifold. 

If you do not wear bright lipsticks on a daily basis, I suggest you start with a coral orange that does not make you feel conscious yet adds that pop of color you need to lift up your look.

Orange suits every skin color and looks absolutely flattering on Indian skin tones, For all the college going girls, trust me orange is your best friend as it is not as bright as a red and not as subtle as a pink or nude, I feel it's just a perfect balance.

Also, orange lips go great with a day as well as a night look, the other day I was wearing a short black dress or an SBD as they call it and I ditched the red for orange and trust me it was worth the betrayal.

You can go for a yellow or blue undertone in the orange if you have a lighter skin tone, or a blue undertone if you have medium to dark skin tone.

RECOMMENDATION AND REVIEW

The lipsticks that  I would be showing here are from Revlon Street wear, simple reason being, I really want to target the college going segment of girls for this color and these lipsticks are really pocket-friendly and come in a wide range of colors. Today we would be talking about two orange based beautiful colors, though.

Street wear color rich ultra moist lipsticks in shade 19 (pink pirouette) and 26(berry dreamy). Talking of the first one, this lipstick is not even close to what the name suggests as it is in no way a pink but a beautiful bright orange color with blue undertones that goes well with any skin tone, It could go well with colors like black, white, peach, orange, tangerine and other pink family shades. 

Moving further to the latter shade i.e. 26 berry dreamy, it is a soft pretty coral-orange color that is totally a treat to the eyes, this one is for all the girls who do not like a lot of bright colors on their lips but still want to stand out, this lipstick is a dupe for the MAC Crosswires (added bonus :) which is a beautiful color, hands down one of my favorites. The lipsticks are creamy in texture and they do have a fragrance which I don't mind much, though. The staying power is not that impressive as it transfers very easily, the lipsticks do give a matte look even after being named ultra moist, I don't question the name as they are fairly moisturizing to the lips.The packaging is not that good but at the price, they are offered at its fine.

As an end note, I would like to say that these are a great option If you do not want to burn a hole in your pocket and still want to experiment with orange lips this spring as the price is very nominal.

You can buy them for 165 INR from www.amazon.in and you do get huge online discounts on sites like www.nykaa.com and www.purplle.com
