Like it or not, you're in for an orange juicy year (hopefully you like it, because a year is quite a long time, ladies). The Pantone color of the year, Tangerine Tango, exudes a certain sensuality, but it's also playful, quirky and energetic - all elements that are just as much a part of a great beauty routine as a fashionable wardrobe.
A cheap beauty find is always a thrill. We love CoverGirl Wetslicks Fruit Spritizers Lip Gloss ($5.49) in Tangerine Splash for an incredible shot of shine and just a hint of tint.
If you're feeling bold, dust a layer of NYX Single Eye Shadow ($4.99) in Hot Orange over your lids for a head-turning look. For even greater color payoff, apply it wet for an intense finish that lasts the day - or perhaps the night, when this color will look most electrifying (and appropriate).
Though it's not a shade everyone can pull off, tangerine definitely boasts a certain freshness that looks incredible against golden skin. A true favorite is Revlon Super Lustrous Creme Lipstick ($6.39) in Siren, a rich orange variation that can be toned down with a gilded gloss for a more wearable look.
Merely its name could be enough to send anyone running away in fear, but Audacious Orange, a phenomenally bright Yves Saint Laurent Creme de Blush ($38), is worth a try. Thanks to its cream-to-powder formula, it blends beautifully into the skin and leaves behind a surprisingly natural flush. Use a light hand for a barely-there glow that anyone can pull off.
