NYFW Trend to Try: The Orange Lip

Prabal Gurung
Matte everything was key to the beauty looks behind Prabal Gurung's candy-colored spring runway. Charlotte Tilbury for MAC Cosmetics created three eye-popping shades: a violent lilac, a Pepto Bismal pink and this fluorescent sherbert orange. Although Karlie Kloss can pull off a smoky eye and bright orange lips, we suggest a simplified eye for real-life wear. Try a hint of liquid eyeliner flicked out at the corners paired with MAC Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in What a Blast.

Marissa Webb
Okay, so technically the lips at Marissa Webb were red. Bobbi Brown's Blazing Red to be specific. But this shade of red, with tomato undertones, is closer to orange than the classic shades of red that have ruled the runway. This shade seems to be universally flattering, meaning no more debating over countless shades in the beauty aisle. I'm moving it to the top of my spring wishlist. (Yes, NYFW has made me want to bypass fall already.)

DKNY
DKNY stood out from other orange lips by going classic glossy. Charlotte Willer used Maybelline New York Color Sensational Vivid Lip Color in #890 Neon Red (finally, a lip color that's already on the market) to create juicy color. To soften the harsh look, Willer used her fingertips to smudge and soften. Slick ponytails, no eye makeup and just a hint of flushed cheeks made this one of the most low maintenance looks of the week. Love it!
