"Those of you who read my blog will know that when it comes to beauty and cosmetics, I&amp;#x27;m a complete dunce. It takes me courage to go to a beauty counter where they bombard me with lingo and I leave either none the wiser or laden with products because I&amp;#x27;ve stupidly fallen for whatever sales spiel they&amp;#x27;ve dished up. Fashion Week is currently in swing, and from New York to London to Milan and now to Paris, my makeup courage has been growing so much so that I tried out an orange lip. This won&amp;#x27;t be revelatory at all to beauty junkies where orange lips, either matte or shiny, have been around for a few seasons, but go easy on me. I am person who didn&amp;#x27;t know that primer was something you could put on your face. To get this vibrant shade, I didn&amp;#x27;t plump for a lipstick though but instead used Barry M&amp;#x27;s Eye Kohl Pencil in orange (it&amp;#x27;s safe on the lips!) mixed with a bit of peach lipstick to make it smoother . Barry M is a British cosmetics brand that specialises in shades brighter than anything you&amp;#x27;ll find in more conventional makeup ranges, and, thankfully, they now ship internationally if you&amp;#x27;re in need of a rainbow colour fix. My Orangina moment was inspired by two women I spotted at London Fashion Week sporting shades of orange, making the colour their own, without falling into a beauty trend trap. Michelle Jank, an Australian jewellery designer, was sporting pieces of her own work around her neck while also springing for orange lipstick. Louise Gray, a London-based designer who happens to make the sort of clothes that induce fits of happiness for even the most cynical of people, manage to smear eyeshadow and glitter haphazardly in a car to make imperfection a covetable thing. To be fair, Gray may probably be one of the few people who can pull it off, but it&amp;#x27;s still an inspiring feat to stare at. Photos: Susie Lau"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
