When it comes to orange / red orange lips . . .
Think Leighton:
Not Grandma:
All jokes aside, I stick to a few guidelines when donning an orange / red orange lip:
#1 Pick a color that is bold, looks purposeful, and pops.
As you can see from Miss Pink Tulle up above, the color is lighter, harder to distinguish, more of a mauve tone . . and just plain Grandma. (For the sake of keeping things on topic, we won't go into her wardrobe choice at this point in time.)
I prefer a color that is a bit more red in tone and that is darker. I feel it goes better with my skin tone - the darker color pops against my fair complexion.

#2 Keep the rest simple
Since your orange lip is already the statement . . let that be the statement. Keep the rest of your makeup and hair simple.
#3 Pair the look with fashion-forward, modern pieces
This will keep the look on trend and from looking like you stole Granny's 1980's tube of Revlon.
My top picks to keep you trending cheaply:
I found all three items at my local CVS (drugstore) but have provided direct links to online retailers + prices below.
(what I'm wearing)
I love the way this smells - fruity but not overpowering.
This stuff smells SO good and goes on super soft.
I've used these lipsticks from Maybelline before and find them to be incredibly easy to wear and long-lasting.
