I have a soft spot for orange lips! In this guide I am giving you a variety of lip and eyeshadow combinations that beautifully compliment an orange lip to give you the ultimate makeup artist aesthetic.
There are so many different ways that you can approach orange lipstick. I prefer to keep things simple. To me, it is all about how the eye meshes with the lips. If you do those two areas of the face correctly, the entire look will fall into place and make you look like an expert. First, I will share a list of orange lippies. Then, I have a list of eyeshadow palettes that I love to sport with an orange lip.
Lip Colors
I am going through my own personal collection to craft this list of lip colors. As they say, variety is the spice of life, and I am serving that saying up in a major way for you. This list includes so many formulations, from standard lipsticks, to liquid, and even powder. Besides original orange, I am even featuring corals, peaches, and red orange. Even the finishes vary from matte, to glossy, and everything in between.

Eyeshadow Palettes
When it comes to selecting an eyeshadow palette to go with your orange lip, I go for two different types. The first type is a color range that features orange (of course!) or a variety of orange-related hues. The second type is a nude palette. Now, my collection is completely inundated with nude palettes, and I am sure yours is as well. I will not sit here and tell you to go by a Naked palette. All of these suggestions are for high-quality, easy to use drugstore and high-end palettes that will add something fresh to your collection, while supporting an orange eye. I could even go on further with this list, but the last thing I want to do is overwhelm you, dear reader.
