8 Makeup Color Trends to Try

tangerine tango lipstick

Time to Tango

Since you already know about the latest orange craze, tangerine lipstick should come as no surprise. One of the main reasons Pantone picked this shade is because it’s both “exotic” and “friendly.” (Sounds like a good pairing.) And if you’re not ready for a bright orange matte lip, Maderich recommends starting with a gloss, like Nars Velvet Gloss Pencil in Happy Days, $24, and working your way up. Find the perfect tangerine shade for your skin tone with these recommendations:

Fair skin tones: A bright orange-red lipstick works best with your skin tone. Try Nars Semi-Matte Lipstick in Heat Wave, $24.

For medium skin tones: Choose a burnt orange color, like Dior Rouge Dior Lipcolor in Blazing Red, $32.

For darker skin tones: Doud says to go for a blue-based orange, like Hourglass Femme Rouge Velvet Creme Lipstick in Raven, $30.
