When the words 'orange' and 'makeup 'are used in the same sentence, it's easy to flashback to
Blossom (character of hit T.V. show of the same name) and best friend,
Six, prepping for an early '90s school dance. Orange is one of the brightest hues in the color spectrum, but there are makeup choices that can look playful without requiring a chaperone.
Some of our favorite celebs, including
Solange Knowles, have taken cue by smearing tangerine and apricot colors all over their lips. YUM! With the recent burst of spring weather, this is the perfect time to try a radiant color. We've arranged a gallery of perfect examples of orange lips, from pastel corals to intense neons.
Try
Bobbi Brown's Salmon lip color for a soft peach color. This is great for work with light makeup or weekend brunch. For an electric lip, base lips with
Make Up Forever's Aqua Lip Waterproof Lipliner Pencil in bright orange then cover with
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetic's Lip Tar in Safety Orange.
Not sure how orange will look against your skin tone? Check out how celebs and models do it in the gallery below.

Orange lipstick, and black women? Oh, my God! What in the world is wrong with these Black women today? It's already bad enough ....one would think that most BW aren't even attractive in the first place, so why add the orange lipstick? Gues BW are into simply looking ridiculous! Perhaps, it highlights in some pathetic way the fake hair! The plot thickens!...lol

Greg,
You have a pathology and you need to get help. You spend waaaay too much time disparaging BW to the point of obsession. No wonder you are unhappy. Will you please, PLEASE, PLEASE go find a white woman and be happy?

8. The Gender Generalizer
Be weary of any man who likes to generalize and stereotype women in
categories like: all women are liars; all woman are scandalous; or all
woman are cheaters. Usually these are the men who really experienced
something hurtful from a woman they really loved and have since been
left jaded and bitter.

Greg -- I beg to differ with you "Black" women are beautiful with beautiful hues that White women" die for --- that is why they are always in the tanning booth and come out looking like red lobsters! Get some goggles man!

You need to find something to do. Who pees in your cereal each morning? Sorry that you didnt get the nurturing from you mom that you should. Oh well, takes all kinds. Spend some of this unwanted energy on reading self esteem books, maybe you won't try to pretend you're not black, and can get over the fact that your mom left you at an early age. Seek help, it's free for welfare recipients....lol.

I'm a white male who has dated women of many colors. I find that most
White women, Black women, Asian women, and Hispanic women wear hair
extensions. Colored lipsticks look good on some women and not on all.
The women i've dated had natural and enhanced body parts. Fake boobs,
butts, hair, you name it. I say do whatever makes you happy. If you're
a confident woman, then you're dateable.
Greg, dude are you kidding me? All black women are ugly? You must be
blind or you don't get out much. There's beautiful black women like
Gabrielle Union, Halle, Naomi, Tyra, Iman, Vanessa Williams, and the
hot black chick that portrayed Tina Turner. There are white women that
people find attractive but I don't. We have the right to our own
preferences, but don't be ignorant and cruel. My fiance is black and
she's gorgeous.

Black women hates her own hair and will copy white women hair doo look with burnt hotcombs, ugly white look wigs, ghetto weaves with 2 textures of hair showing all to achieve a fake false phoney white look hair doo and contacts and yellow or orange lipstick don't help. WHAT IS A WOMAN OF COLOR? besides baby mama's Stop copying white women's hair to be "pretty" black women look better with some curl. We don't care what white women do or don't do, no matter what they do they still look white no problem, But black women look funny like BOZO the clown copying white women.

I agree in being who God made us. Black women need to stop coping the white woman and be ourselves. We are all beautiful in our own way and it takes a strong woman to be comfortable in her own skin. Enjoy life and put Jesus first because what we do for Him is what really counts.

That's funny that you say "black women hate themselves and will copy white women" but you forgot to mention the fact that white women are risking their health and lives just to look like black women. Lip injections for fuller ethnic(black)lips, and tanning(skin cancer)just to be dark like black women. Did I forget to mention, white women would screw a black man at the first chance she gets, cause lets face it, black men have a bigger penis.HA, AND LEARN HOW TO SPELL CAUSE YOU'RE MAKING WHITE PEOPLE LOOK BAD LMAO

Black women should love themselves for themselves. Be proud BW...we were crafted by the hand of Jesus, God himself and he does not make mistakes. Let your beauty shine without trying to be something you are not. Beauty is from within. WE ARE BEAUTIFUL JUST THE WAY WE ARE. And, if you like orange lipstick, wear it. Do not be influenced by the world but by the word of God. Bless all.

And white women look for any excuse to look younger and to have darker skin and fuller lips, which makes them look like DUCKS LMAO. White women also get weaves and where wigs as well so who's the real bozo? BOZO!
