I recently revisited a beauty trend that I had once championed and loved – orange lipstick. If you’re in the mood for some color but want to step away from the classic red lip, orange lipstick might be the perfect option for you. I tried out Westman Atelier’s Le Rouge and instantly fell in love. The vibrant shade of orange has a magical way of brightening up your complexion and is surprisingly flattering on everyone. While I personally find reddish orange shades to be endlessly flattering, there are plenty of other variations to choose from. My advice is to experiment with different shades, take some pictures, compare them, make your decision, and then confidently rock your favorite lip color this summer.
If you’re interested in trying out some orange lipstick options, here are a few recommendations:
1. Westman Atelier Lips Suede Matte Lipstick in Le Rouge – £45, available at spacenk.com
2. NARS Powermatte Lipstick in Feel My Fire – £28, available at narscosmetic.co.uk
3. Victoria Beckham Beauty Posh Lipstick in Fire – £37, available at selfridges.com
4. Violette FR Bisou Balm in Guimauve – £29, available at violettefr.com
5. Merit Signature Lip Lightweight Lipstick in Vermillion – £28, available at meritbeauty.com
In addition to experimenting with different lip colors, it’s also important to protect your skin from the sun during the summer months. One essential product that I can’t live without is a silky SPF that not only protects your skin but also nourishes it.
When it comes to choosing the best SPF, it really depends on your personal preferences. I am currently obsessed with Ultra Violette’s Fave Fluid for a variety of reasons. The formulation is incredibly silky and lightweight, almost like a luxurious skincare product. Not only does it provide protection against UVA and UVB rays, but it also contains skin-loving ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin E, and vitamin C. These ingredients help regulate oil production, treat acne, smooth and brighten the skin, and protect against environmental damage.
Ultra Violette Fave Fluid SPF 50+ Ultralight Sunscreen is priced at £37 and is available at ultraviolette.co.uk. This sunscreen is perfect for wearing on its own or under makeup, as it doesn’t leave a sticky or heavy residue and provides a beautiful glow to the skin.
If you’re looking to transport yourself to a holiday destination through scent, here are three striking fragrances that might do the trick:
1. Trudon Isla Eau de Parfum – £210, available at trudon.com
2. Bibbi Swimming Pool Eau De Parfum – £110, available at libertylondon.com
3. Loewe Paula’s Ibiza Cosmic – £90, available at loewe.com
Escape to the Mediterranean, Italy, or a tropical island with these enchanting scents that will remind you of your favorite holiday destinations. Embrace the vibrant orange lipstick trend this summer, protect your skin with a nourishing SPF, and indulge in captivating fragrances to elevate your beauty routine.
