Hey curvy girls all over the world,
While I know I have readers and subscribers from all over the world and of a variety of skin tones, today I am sharing a personal beauty video about orange lipsticks. Ever since I saw Solange rock an orange lip a few years ago, I became slightly obsessed with finding an orange lipstick that would work for my skin tone.
That’s not to say there weren’t any out there. There are! However, I had to go through much trial and error to find shades that worked for me. As a deeper skinned woman it can be a task to find orange lipstick shades that flatter. When Lupita hit the fashion and beauty scene and I saw her attend the Hollywood film awards in 2013, she had a very sexy and sultry orange lip. I was slightly mesmerized. It was her perfect shade.
After oohing and ahhing at how beautiful she looked with it on, I knew I had to find my perfect shade and oh boy did I. I found quite a few shades. Below I am wearing Anastasia’s Papaya with a brown lip liner from MAC.
So, today’s video is for my brown beauties who are dying to rock an orange lip this spring/summer season and want to know some shades to try.
The video consists of a variety of lipsticks from drug stores to high-end brands. Of course, these lippies will work for fair to medium skin tones as well. If you are working in the makeup industry or as a stylist, you might already be well-versed in what decisions to take for your clients. However, if you also prefer to get such opinions or take decisions for yourself, probably enrolling in some short-term beauty courses offered by professionals such as the ones at Evo Academy (https://www.evo-academy.co.uk) might be a better choice. This way, you can learn all the nitty-gritty of makeup, style, and beauty products. That said, I hope you guys enjoy the video and I truly hope no one takes offense to the focus being on darker skin tones.
