While you’re at it, check out the over 300 pins on the I love me a great lippie board on Pinterest: not only lip color, but also cute lipstick-themed products. My favorite is this Reiko Kaneko bone china mug:
Let’s face it: lip liner is usually obvious, even if you match your lip liner to your lipstick.
That’s where It Cosmetics Reverse Lip Liner comes in. A reverse lip liner, occasionally called a barrier lip liner, is a waxy crayon or pencil that goes on clear.
It Cosmetics Reverse Lip Liner
I line my lips with It Cosmetics Reverse Lip Liner just outside the lip line. It provides definition to the shape of the lips and prevents seepage of lip color in fine line.
My only quibble is that it requires sharpening. I would have preferred a twist-up mechanism.
Makeup Artist Margina Dennis shares her picks for a Radiant Orchid look:
Radiant orchid is a great color for the season because it is a universally flattering color like coral. What makes it work for everyone is the hint of red that is in it. The key to keeping this color looking fresh is to use it as an accent color or soft muted. If the lips are the focal point I like to use it as gloss, lip stain, or hydrating lip color.
OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE COSMETICS Lip Tar – Matte in Hoochie is a soft matte look.
Pur Minerals Chateau De Vine Lipstick – Show Off is a great option for deeper skin tones.
Then keep the rest of the face simple. A nude eye or just a bit of black or grey liner as a simple wing eye or lots of mascara. For a muted look use Benefit Lolli Tint- a cheek and lip stain that is a universally flattering sheer wash of color. Pairing with soft pink in a sheer wash can be an instant fresh look.
Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colors in Soft Iris and Violet Orchid, work for most skin tones. Again, keep the rest of the face muted. If you want to go a bit bolder with the trend and wear a radiant orchid inspired eyeliner, like STILA Sparkle Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner Royal, this can look great as a winged or dramatic cat eye, just keep the rest of the face simple and let the liner be the focus.
For eye shadow you can use MARC JACOBS BEAUTY Style Eye-Con No.7- Plush Shadow as a great palette for a radiant orchid smoky eye. Keep cheek and lips in a pinked nude tone to keep the focus on the eyes.
DHC. Quick – what do you think of? Its mail order catalog? Its Deep Cleansing Oil?
DHC is rolling out a new collection of color cosmetics this month. Take a look! The new collection includes 6 shades of Premium Lipstick GE, 4 shades of Face Color Palette EX blush, BB Mineral Powder, and Q10 Moisture Care Face Powder.
I’ve swatched the lipsticks on my arm (thanks to Mr. Style Page for the staging and post-processing).
DHC Premium Lipstick GE swatches
From L to R:
Rich Raspberry (RS107)
First Blush (RS105)
Bold Persimmon (OR112)
Rose Gold (BE111)
Velvety Red (RD109)
Petal Pink (PK102)
There are no wash-out nudes or vampish dark shades among them: just simply complexion-flattering shades There’s a slight but appealing sheen to the lipstick, which is apparent when applied to the lips. DHC Premium Lipstick GE keeps your lips soft and supple with emollient ingredients such as macadamia, olive, and rice bran oils. If that doesn’t prove the power of makeup, I don’t know what does.
DHC Premium Lipstick GE costs $19 per tube and may be purchased via catalog or DHCcare.com.

Tangee Natural lipstick is an iconic lipstick: just read the testimonials from women even older than The Style Page (!) They fondly remember Tangee Natural as their first lipstick.
First of all, let’s get one thing out of the way: “Natural” refers to the lip color, not the ingredients. While Tangee Natural is bright orange in the tube, it turns to a soft blush rose on the lips.
Tangee Natural lipstick
The soft blush rose color stays on, and Tangee Natural feels comfortable on the lips. This lipstick would suit women with fair to light skin tones with blonde to light brown hair. As I have dark brown hair (from the bottle!) and a light complexion, I need a deeper shade of lipstick.
Tangee Natural’s appeal is that it’s an iconic lipstick. This is one lipstick that cries out for retro-packaging: Gabriela Hernandez, are you listening?
Milani, the fashion-forward mass market brand has rebooted its lipstick collection. Color Perfect Lipstick is now Color Statement Lipstick, with new packaging and a new formula. Check out this page for a graphic that maps Color Perfect Lipstick shades to Color Statement Lipstick shades.
