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 can't believe that it works on each of them! I especially love it on Lorna - I like the contrast of her ivory skin and the boldness of the tangerine. I think I could pull it off too, as I am fair skinned with blue eyes. I will try it anyway, prefer it to pink. libertyvillagegirl@hotmail.com |

![]() | I was hardup to choose between Lorna and Alexandra but I think the way Lorna's color contrasts her face just slightly better. I want tangerine now! |
![]() | I agree that Mandy's looks the best. I was surprised that the tangerine wasn't more orangey...it looks quite natural! |
