I've been cracking some fierce shades of orange/coral/watermelon on my lips of late. (I'll post proof pics later.)
Orange is a dumb colour for lips.
No it's not.
Uh, yeah it is.
IT IS NOT. A shade or orange on the lips in winter instantly brightens the face when the sky/weather/general vibe is dull, miserable, crap, poo. Add some bronzer and you're all fresh and vibrant when every other fool looks matte and blah.
Oh yeah? well, my granma wears orange lips.
And I bet it's a lovely frosted Helena Rubenstein lippie she's had since 1987, too, bless her. But things have changed! No longer are shades of muted tangerine and warm peach relegated to those with blue hair! It's for young people! Cool people! People who know how to use YouTube and think buying organic eggs will save the planet!
You're an idiot.
Well then, so is Chloe Sevigny, who in her typical delicious style, teamed some 70s brushed-out waves and a fly frock with a sterling orange lip to the opening of the Hermes (how appropriate! Hermes! Orange!) store on Wall street the other day. (Note: This is not an admission, this is a facetiousness. Chlo-sev is radness to the maxness.)
Aaaand, let's get a close up of those lips and those bronzed cheeks.
PRETTY.
