Orange Lips

The A-list are ahead of the game with their bright orange pouts. From tomato red to bold tangerine, orange was the shade du jour on the autumn/winter 2012 catwalks. Models at Julien David and Monique Lhullier flaunted tomato red lips, while the lip shade of choice at Narciso Rodriguez was a glossy burnt orange. The great thing about this fiery shade is it works brilliantly with a tan right now - look to Busy Phillips and Karolina Kurkova for proof; but come winter it will lift an ashy skintone. Alternatively, a softer coral-orange, spotted on Kate Bosworth, also works all year round if you want something less traffic-stopping. To get the striking look try Dolce & Gabbana Monica Bellucci Lipstick in Italian Monica, £24.50 (Harrods). For a more subtle take we recommend Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Rendezvous, £7.99 (Boots).
