Gemma Arterton's lipstick (reddy orange and glossy)

Am getting into red lipstick, but despite buying quite a few have yet to find the perfect one.

I don't have dark colouring, but do have hazel eyes, brown hair and tan easily so don't think the bluey-based ones work on me.

What I really want is something reddy orange and glossy (hate matte) - if you travel on the Tube, the colour Gemma Arterton's wearong on the Little Dog Laughed promo posters.

Anyone seen anything likely?

There was a guide to blood orange-lips in the Style section of the Sunday Times.
1 - apply true red lip liner to lips and then fill in with liner to create a long-lasting base.
2 - apply a bright,glossy, intensely pigmented red lipstick (Mac lipstick in Lady Danger).
3 - put a coating of glossy orange lipstick over the red (Barry M lip gloss wand in Tropical Tango).
4 - alternate between the two for touch-ups.

Thank you, most useful.

Mind you, also drat - I hoped there would be a single product that'd do the trick! Will investigate those two suggestions, though.
