Lipstick can instantly transform your look without too much effort. Finding the best lipstick shades will definitely make you stand out and so gorgeous. I just love the spring/summer 2011 makeup trends because you can play and experiment with different make up hue that can actually matches your personality

Aside from Pink and Fuchsia, Orange is one of  hottest colors when it comes to lip makeup trends for spring/summer 2011 . You will definitely love this and you should wear this with extreme self-confidence by women and girls who feel beautiful and powerful. One think i like about this trend is they manifest of sophistication and elegance. I suggest you wear this on a flawless skin makeup.

Vogue Magazine Recently released its new “trend” when it comes to lipsticks/ lip color and that is the Orange Hue or shade where in,  it radiates a similarly addictive blend of couture elegance and unabashed optimism. “Orange is bright, it’s beautiful, it’s a little bit extreme. It’s a great alternative to your classic red lip,” says makeup artist Fulvia Farolfi. 

The best range of juicy shades comes in tangerine, coral, papaya, cantaloupe—and textures, you will be amazed because it’s  far more wearable than you might expect. “Orange is a punchy pop of color, but if you’re nervous about going for full pigment, you can always try a sheer stain or a mellowed-out gloss first,” says makeup artist Pati Dubroff, who pairs the vivid shade with a soft flush of peach on the cheek and a well-groomed brow.

I suggest, wear orange lipstick with a light eye makeup using just a soft eyeshadow and mascara for a matte, fresh look. If you want to create the illusion of plumper lips, apply some gloss in the center of the lower lip.

Here are some make up suggestions from Vouge Magazine:

FAIR COMPLEXIONS: APRICOT FIZZ

“If you’re very pale, a matte punk orange is going to be hard to pull off. A beautiful apricot will be more flattering,” says Farolfi, who prefers softer versions of the shade for fair skin tones.

FAIR TO MEDIUM COMPLEXIONS: CORAL POP

“For women whose skin tone falls somewhere between warm and cool, that’s where a coral comes in,” says Dubroff of versatile pink-tinged versions of mango and papaya.

MEDIUM TO GOLDEN COMPLEXIONS: RIPE TOMATO

“Naturally tan [skin tones] look great in a tomato-orange lip,” says Dubroff. “Something that almost crosses the line into red.”

DARK COMPLEXIONS: ORANGE ALERT

“A true orange looks great on dark skin,” says Dubroff. “That’s when you can really go for a full, saturated pop of color.”

AllAboutBeauty: Ever Bilena Extreme Lipstick in Red Romance – a great alternative to expensive RED LIPSTICK brands

 Ever Bilena Extreme Lipstick in Red Romance

This beautiful ever bilena extreme lipstick  called Red Romance a great choice! Red Romance looks like MAC’s or NARS’s  red but for a fraction of the cost. A great alternative for those who are budget conscious and looking for the same quality for a red lipstick which MAC and NARS have.

I love the smell of this lipstick because it falls between sweet and fruity! This not a matte lipstick and when you apply this on your lips, its a bit shiny (subtle) but not glossy which is perfect if you dont want a very matte lips! What i love about this is, it will give you the needed moisture for your lips without the need of a lip balm. The Red color is rich and long lasting, so there’s no need to retouch that often. The Red Color would leave you with a great reddish even tint so even if it’s gone after several hours the red tint is still there.

Ever Bilena Red Romance Lipstick is very sexy and can brighten up your complexion specially if you apply a red lip pencil first!

I actually like the packaging. Sleek and decent. They’re inexpensive but they don’t look cheap. One thing that i dont like about the packaging is, its very generic. i mean all colors comes with the same packaging so you have to open it to check the actual color.

Make sure you know how to apply red lipstick. Here are some hot lip tips:

• Apply a lip moisturizer and then a thin layer of foundation.

• After the foundation dries, add a layer of face powder which will help set the lipstick so it will last longer.

• Next, line the lips with a pencil that matches your lipstick. Keep within the natural line of your lip.

• Apply a thin, even coat of the lipstick.

• Blot. Always remember to blot.

• Apply a second coat and you’re ready to go.
