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.

Bespoke Orange
Though not an entirely new trend (holla, mood rings, color-changing nail polish and Smashbox's cult classic O-gloss), color-converting products are having a serious moment among the beauty obsessed. And the latest crop of goods just so happens to be kind of scientific -- in the prettiest of ways. Manipulated by our heat index and the pH of the moisture on our lips, the newest color-converting lipsticks are as intriguing as they are irresistible. This one by Flirt Cosmetics is semi-sheer -- aka it looks great on all skin tones and is a solid alternative for those intimidated by super-saturated shades of neon -- and miraculously transforms from yellow to a customized shade of coral. We have yet to witness a transformation that isn't totally dreamy.

Citrus Orange
You know that favorite lip gloss that comes in a tube and is impossibly addicting to squeeze and smooth over your lips despite its sheer, less-than-satisfying color? Meet its hotter and heartier cousin -- a 2.0 lipstick that's sure to make its way into your regular summer rotation. Vividly pigmented, squeezable and semi-matte, it's a wear-everywhere compromise that's appropriate for meetings and swim-up bars alike. Try this orange lip color if you have fair skin with warmer undertones.

Pop of Orange
Free of parabens and chock-full of vitamins for a plump and polished pout, this A+ formula from Clinique is great for those who prefer show-stopping shine and a luxe, liquid formula. One swipe delivers a full coverage look that promises an impressive six hours of wear. Put to the test, we even scored a compliment as we dragged ourselves into a 6:30p.m. spin class following a full day of work. Now that's miraculous. Try it if you have medium skin with cooler undertones.
