Pumpkin Picking: 10 Orange Lipsticks to Help You Get Into the Halloween Spirit
Read our lips: the only thing scary about orange lipstick is that so many women have been afraid to use it. From soft creamsicle shades to high-voltage brights, read on for a spectrum of shades to begin experimenting with this Halloween and keep using long after.
The Estée Edit Mattified Lipstick in Killin' It
This matte from The Estée Edit comes in a saturated bright orangy-red hue for showing everyone who's boss (they don't call it Killin' It for nothin'). It's also formulated with conditioning oils to prevent overdrying. Did we mention the cool blue-silver ombré tube?
Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in Spectacle
Just like with the last shade, this bright orange cream is, well, a scream. Wear it to work for day — it's close enough to red — then swipe on an extra layer for those Halloween festivities come evening.
MAC Liptensity Lipstick in Lobster
Wear this fiery, burnt-orange shade from MAC's new Liptensity collection as-is for a mod matte finish, or up the ante with a high-luster gloss.
Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in A-Go-Go
This liquid lipstick from Kat Von D's line is like a party in a tube. The long-wear formula, which dries to a smooth, matte finish, will also ensure you make it through the night.
Make Up For Ever Artist Rouge Lipstick in Orange
While this shade is along the lines of blood orange, you can take comfort in knowing the creamy, easy-to-apply formula will not bleed.
Nars Audacious Lipstick in Geraldine
Nars's Audacious collection has perfected the art of selling a soft formula with a very strong message. Use this tangerine shade to complete your favorite looks this Halloween, and keep it on hand for those times when you could use a little boost of confidence to follow.
Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids Lip Color in Electric Orange
It's electric! Start your night on a positive (make that fun) note with this energetic pick from Maybelline. It's formulated with honey nectar for added moisture.
