Tangerine Lip Pose Off: Comment to Win!
Pantone's colour for 2012 was recently announced as Tangerine Tango; since being introduced to the colour, we've gone bananas for tangerine! First we tried it out on our nails and loved the results! We also dug up a few options for tangerine makeup but weren't sure if this look was actually wearable... so we decided to Pose Off in Tangerine by experimenting with different shades and skin tones. We invited a friend along, Xolisa, who was kind enough to lend us her time and our guinea pig for the day- special thanks goes out to her!
Orange you glad we're here to test out these trends for you?
Sorry guys, couldn't resist the pun...
Lorna
Lorna used Mary Kay Creme Lipstick in Give Dreams (C$13.00) with MAC Lipglass in Ola Mango (C$17.50) to create a red-orange with pinkish hues. The bold colour in contrast to her minimal makeup lets her lips standout to create a statement without being overwhelming.
Alexandra
Alexandra used Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Grandma (US$13.00) for an opaque and bright orange lip. This one isn't for everyone but Alexandra likes the peachy undertones for a lip that can be transitioned from day to night.
Mandy
Mandy used MAC Lustre Lipstick in Surprise (C$17.50) for an intense orange lip that complements her subtle pink blush and basic eye makeup. We like that this look is all about the orange: it makes the shade really pop on her olive skin.
Xolisa
Xolisa used MAC Amplified Creme Lipstick in Morange (C$17.50) for a lip that is perfect for her skintone. We think this shade is sophisticated and chic on Xolisa. We love the tangerine lip because it brings a little something extra to a basic look and in this case, it's no exception!
What do you think of the tangerine lip on us? Is this one a keeper or should we ditch the look? Leave us a comment telling us who you like the tangerine lip on best by January 22nd, 2012 for your chance to win!

 | I really like Alex's the best. It looks really soft and a itty bit pinkish instead of straight orange which I find un-natural looking. |
 | First off, you are all beauties in my opinion, but as far as this shade of lipstick goes, I gotta give it to Mandy!! It really compliments her skin tone...as well, Lorna pulls it off in second for me :) |
 | i don't know about tangerine lipstick...but i think Mandy's look is the best |
 | This just proves my point that pretty much everyone can wear orange if you can find the perfect point on the spectrum (cooler pinky-oranges or warmer rusty-oranges) - admittedly, that's the tricky part! |
 | Mandy's look is my favorite, i think it complements her skin tone well and looks healthy. |
 | I love all of these - tangerine lips are gorge. But I'm definitely liking Mandy's! This makes me want to go straight to Mac and see how this shade looks on me too. |
 | I don't like the orange lip. The only one I think pulls it off somewhat is Mandy. |
 | This is definitely a KEEPER!!! It's so 'happy' look!! Ya know what I mean? Looks so summery and fresh! And all of you ladies really managed to pick shades that are perfect for your skin tones! |
 | OO LA LA I was not a believer before in the lipstick, but these ladies have converted me! I like it on Mandy with her shirt, she is glowing. If I were to try anyone's look on myself, it would most likely be Alexandra or Lorna since they both have pale complexions. Keep the look ladies! |
