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.

Culty Coral
Maybelline's iconic line of Baby Lips Lip Balms doesn't discriminate when it comes to its cult-like following. The hydrating and whimsically packaged balms never fail to create a frenzy in A-list celebrities and their magical makeup artists alike. So, unsurprisingly, we were instantly smitten with the brand's punchy new line of ultra-pigmented lip crayons. To rock summer's orange lipstick trend, bite into the creamy coral -- a thirst-quenching, juicy formula that lasts all day and looks especially sultry on those with cool undertones.

Double-Take Orange
Sucker for beauty products that kill two birds with one stone? Us too. Thanks to this lippie and liner duo from Benefit Cosmetics, we now have time to perfect our pout prior to our morning commute (a blessing to drivers everywhere) and in a single swipe, to boot. Ingeniously equipped with two complementary shades of fiery, orange-red, the trusty teardrop tip shapes lips into a fuller, more alluring version of their former selves. The satiny shade looks especially mesmerizing on those with dark skin and warmer undertones.
