How does it become a different color on everyone? Is this the same technology they use today for those self-adjusting foundations?

When I have some extra money to throw away, I'll order this. Click Testimonials, too.

My mother wore Tangee for as long as I can remember until it was discontinued. It's one of those smells I associate with my childhood. However, my experience is that it turns into some shade of pink on everyone. Pink lipstick looks terrible on me. It did when I was 4 and it still did the last time I tried this maybe 10 years ago. So be forewarned, if you can't wear pink, don't waste your money.

No idea how the technology works but there are many lipsticks that change colour on people's lips, intentionally or unintentionally. For instance, even if a lipstick doesn't seem to have blue in it it can take on blue tones on my lips. I used to wear Tangee Natural as a teenager and I loved the smell. A lot of teens who were not really allowed to wear makeup were allowed to wear this one, which was considered more demure. Tangee has come up in the world: I notice it's now $14.95. I think when I wore it it was 29 ¢!

As I recall, Tangee did indeed yield pinkish hues. Mine was kind of an orangey pink, not really flattering or what I wanted.

Many lipsticks change color on me, but most notably reds. For this reason, when I want darker colors, I have to stick with browns, which I find dull. So color-changing lipsticks are the story of my life (unless they are boring brown).

Tangee was the first lipstick I was allowed to wear back when I was maybe 13 or 14 years old. That was AWHILE ago. It had hardly any color and looked orangy but turned kinda pink. It turned on everybody. It was supposed to!! Most Mom's let their young teenagers wear this because it looked the most natural. It had a strange smell also.
Why anybody would want this now is beyond me. Certainly no adults.

OMG, back in the day I wore Tangee. It depends on the lips of the person applying it. It always turned from orange to a pretty shade of coral on me, and I was a flaming redhead at the time.

Those changeable lipsticks always turned garishly orange on my skin ... finally a cosmetician told me I probably have a high acid mantle which brings out the orange in lipsticks.

When I was going through my Mom's cosmetic drawer after she passed away I found a nearly new tube of Tangee, which I kept for nostalgia's sake. It turns kind of orangey on me too.

It sounds like it has to do with the personal pH of your skin. Interesting.

I like the way women of the 50's and 60's would wear a bold, matte, opaque, unsparkly, coral, flamingo or orange shade....

Rita Hayworth and Julie London were famous for this look...

I think it helps to carry off that look when you have full lips and perfect white teeth.

I love that look!

I don't know how it works but it turned a horrible purple red on me. It smelled like fruity, waxy candy. Not good.
