Hey Beauties!

If someone would ask me what is my favorite color, it would probably be orange or all versions of it, especially peach :). Orange lipstick is huge for this spring/summer and why not switch it up and use it on the eyes. I admit, I love orange and use bronze orange shades all the time. This time I wanted to try the true orange eye shadow and I think the eyes came out quite summery and hypnotizing. You decide, if you like orange on the eyes or not. 

I started by applying bright orange matte eye shadow all over the lid. Keeping it away from the crease. In the crease and on the outer V, I used warm light brown eye shadow to contour the eye. 

Now as far as the rest of the face, I used foundation, a little powder on the T-zone and bronzer on the contours and a bit all over the face. I also added a nice shimmery bronze peach blusher and beige highlighter. As far as the lipstick goes, there's a lot of choices. Mine go from a very bold combo to a more nude and subtle.

I think I like the last version the best. What about you? Would you wear orange on the eyes?

Hey Beauties!

One of my favorite spring / summer makeup trends has to be orange lipstick. Orange and red usually go really well with my skin tone, so I was more than excited to create one of this seasons makeup trends. The orange shades of lipsticks that are really trendy are really really bright oranges, but I went with a bit darker choice. It's still pretty bright, even though it doesn't look as such on those photos.

I left the eyes very simple. I used a mixture of a matte bronzer and a shimmery bronzer and blusher all in one. Those mixed shades I put all over the lid and on the bottom as well. I didn't want to line my eyes heavily, so I used berry brown eye liner to get some depth around the upper lash line. I also lightly put some champagne highlighter in the inner corner of the eye. Finished with lots of mascara. Just very simple eyes.

For the face I applied my usual foundation and concealer. Then I used a mixture of those two bronzers, I talked earlier, and put them across my cheeks, nose, temples and my neck. Just to get the overall sun kissed look. I didn't go overboard with this, like I would go in the summer, it was just a little to give my skin some glow. I also used highlighter on tops of my cheeks and a bit on the end of my nose. Slightly shimmer bronzer and highlighter give a very beautiful glow to the skin, which many people need after a long dull winter.

As far as the lips - my favorite part! - a bright orange lipstick. Ah..doesn't this shade looks amazing? I love it. I ordered a tester from Avon, just because I didn't have any bright orange and look what I got? Beauty! It's Avon Ultra Color Lipstick in the shade Tangerine Tango. This is, in my opinion, a pretty wearable slightly red warm undertoned lipstick that will suit a lot of people. Probably not the best choice for very cool toned skin, though. 

Would you wear orange lipstick?
