ORANGE YA LOVELY!!!

Looks like this Spring, orange is king (Orange doesn't rhyme with anything so we'll just have to make do with that). From the orange-on-orange seperates at Prada to Fendi's pumpkin-coloured mini dresses, orange is everywhere on the runways...including models' lips. And its not a shy peach or a muted coral, it's balls-out traffic cone orange.



Orange lipstick is one of those bold makeup choices that I always thought was more about the attitude of the wearer than anything about their complexion, style, or any other superficial trait. That's probably why I think out of the three ladies above Aggy pulls it off best -- who knew one could look so bad-ass with orange lips!


If you dont want to look like you've just sucked on 5 Rocket Ice Pops, us girlies can tone it down a little for the dance floor in the Grafton Lounge on a Saturday night, by Keeping the face fairly natural (ie no blue eyeshadow and uber-pink cheeks!). and doing a statement lip, one word of advice, dont add gloss on top of the lipstick, you might look like you have a ginger tash!!!! Scccaarrrlethhhh !!!
