Trend alert: Tangerine lips.

Usually it's the red lippy that we ladies tend to favour, however when Spring 2014 arrives orange is predicted and appears to be the next go to hue. If you are feeling daring to wear this hue, below are some tips to ensure you select an orange lippy that compliments you the best.

1. Consider your skin colour

Be sure to select a shade that compliments your skin complexion. If you are a fair-skinned beauty you can get away with bolder shades with yellow-ish and peachy undertones. Dark skinned beauties on the other hand should opt for lipsticks with a deep red or brown base.

2. Choose your texture

If you are feeling really brave opt for the matte experience. If you are not ready for such experiments yet - opt for a lip gloss! This will give you a more fresh natural tint.

3. Match wisely

Unless you know how to work this bold shade in to a more colourful outfit like Solange featured in the image above, it is advisable to tone everything else down. Apply a good foundation and mascara and you're good to go. For your wardrobe, opt for a minimalistic outfit - black and white will most certainly make the orange pop!

Most importantly; have fun!
