Hot Coral
A bright pinky coral, this long-lasting liquid lipstick is a creamy compromise for those who crave minimal maintenance and a luxe, lightweight texture. Thanks to a plush and (and precise!) applicator, the budge-proof formula is easy to navigate -- a non-negotiable when it comes to a statement-making orange lip. Though fabulous on any skin tone, it's especially flattering for those with medium skin and warmer undertones -- i.e. the veins on the inside of your wrist look more green than blue.

Retro Orange
A gorgeous throwback to 1950s glamour, this true orange formula from L'Oreal feels like Marilyn, Elizabeth and Sophia in a tube. With its supersaturated pigment and irresistible price tag, this paint-like lippie delivers mouthwatering color in a single swipe. Suggested pairings: champagne, French macaroons and a marathon of film noir. Try it if you have fair skin with warm undertones or medium skin with cool undertones (veins look blue, not green).

Electric Orange
We'd be lying if we said we don't expect a lot from our lipstick. And to be perfectly honest, even the most promising of formulas have a knack for leaving our pouts dehydrated, flaky and devastatingly underwhelmed. Therefore, when a product claims to deliver shine, coverage and a hefty ten hours of wear, our interest is piqued (we are optimists, after all). Enter: one of summer's hottest exceptions -- YSL's Vinyl Cream Lip Stain -- a bold, beautiful, and surprisingly hydrating pick that we can't stop applying. Try this orange lipstick if you have darker skin with warm undertones.

Flaming Orange
Serious question: What's not to like about a product that includes "catsuit" in the name? As it turns out, absolutely nothing. With its smooth-as-butter formula, lightweight consistency, and saturated, matte finish, trust us when we say our pucker (and wallet) have never looked fuller. Try it if you have dark or fair skin with cooler undertones.

Italian Orange
Another gorgeous pick for those with cool undertones (thanks to the cool, crimson base), this lust-worthy debut form Dolce & Gabbana is a true triple threat. Pigmented like a lipstick, shiny like a gloss, and hydrating like a balm, it's a three-in-one must-have that promises to streamline your makeup routine in the chicest of ways. Plus, the formula was inspired by the inherent sensuality of Italian women. So, there's that.
