Day to Night: Orange makeup look

Summer is coming! It's time to test out new colors and leave the boring neutrals to fall and winter. I've never tried putting orange on my eyelids because the color is a bit intimidating, but for the sake of this blog... challenge accepted!

Turns out, orange is a really wearable color, I just need to find the right clothes to match the eye make-up.


Day look




Night look



.

Day look
Starting with a bare face, apply bb cream all over the face


Apply primer all over eyelid


Apply a yellow gold eyeshadow on the inner corners



Apple an orange eyeshadow on the outer corners

Blend the two colors together with the yellow gold eyeshadow 



Using a brown pencil eyeliner, tightline and draw a fine line on the upper lashline


Then, draw a thin line with brown eyeliner


Using Benefit's eye bright (or any white/champagne colored eyeshadow), highlight the browbone and inner corners of the eyes, and blend  



Curl lashes

Apply mascara



.

Night look
Just darken up the eye makeup!

Apply a dark brown eyeshadow on the outer corner and blend!



Apply purple eyeliner on the upper and lower lashline




Apply blush, I used a neutral colored one

I like to do some contouring on my nose, apply brown eyeshadow or brown eyeliner on the sides of the nose and blend out, blend a white/champagne colored eyeshadow on the bridge of your nose



I didn't want to use a black eyeliner because I wanted the eye make-up to look fun and colorful, but feel free to use black or any color eyeliner that would match orange! I see myself using the same steps with a bright pink or a bright green. ;)
