Today's Purchase

MAC Morange lipstick

It's a really good bright orange shade if you have dark or olive skin.

If you have fair skin, I'd recommend Barry M's orange lippie

Which looks more like this when applied:

It's a little bit too light for me but it works well on other people.

I've been wearing MAC's Russian Red all winter, it's a lovely deep, warm tone

(but the picture makes it look really gaudy and bright - don't be fooled!)

It goes on matte and looks great on brunettes

But in anticipation of the summer I'm planning to break out the orange lippie for a retro vamp look

Like lovely Rita

It looks especially striking against black skin

Betty Bacall did it

& Vogue Paris dit ouí!
