#BLOGGERSDOITBETTER: Wearable Orange {A Summer Trend Pictorial}

Since this week's #Bloggersdoitbetter is focusing on trends, I wanted to try and put together my first ever pictorial on what, in my opinion, is a very wearable orange eye look.  This has been my go to look when I want something quick that is achievable in 10 minutes and still looks cute/ put together. 

  1. Prime eye lid with an eye shadow primer.
  2. Apply Makeup Geek Beaches and Cream and Creme Brulee liberally into the crease using a large blending brush.  These colors will act as a transition shade and pull your entire look together when you're finished.  Any warm peachy color close to your skin tone will work.  
  3. Spray Fix+ onto both sides of a shading brush and pack Trick, a warm copper orange from Urban Decay's Naked3, all over the lid.  The Fix+ will create a foiled look, make the pigmentation pop, and help the longevity of the shadow.    
  4. Going in with Makeup Geek's Cocoa Bear (a reddish brown) on a pencil brush place it into the crease and the outer v, concentrating the color on the outer third of your eye.  This will give the look some depth.  Then going in with the same fluffy blending brush, blend out any harsh lines or misplaced product from the previous steps.
  5. Using Strange, the matte highlight shade, from the Naked3 palette highlight under the brow bone and the inner corner of the eye.  Apply any mascara of your choice and you're done!

OPTIONAL: To take this look up a notch, or transition it easily from daytime to nighttime use the same pencil brush and Cocoa Bear to smoke out the lower lash line.  Use a black gel eyeliner to create winged liner, and apply a shimmer highlight to the inner corner to brighten your eyes more.

I seem to have done a terrible job photographing this look because the photos don't do Trick any justice.  It's a beautiful shadow on it's own, but combined with the Fix+ it becomes such a beautiful bright orange copper. What I think makes this look so wearable is that although the colors are all very warm toned, and well orangey they are still neutrals and compliment each other beautifully.

  4. I'm currently in love with a similar eye make up look using UD shadow in sin from my Urban Ammo palette, it's more of a light peachy shade but it's gorgeous.

    2. Aaw you hit a sore spot: I don't own any of the Naked palettes but I think it comes in the first one. I'm lusting over number 3 though, I think it has the most beautiful shades of the 3, for my taste of course.

    3. Definitely. I'm lucky, I own 3, my mum has 2, and I just bought my sister 1. Between the three of us we have the whole collection so I don't need to buy every one for just myself!

    4. That's 3 times lucky! I don't have any siblings and my mom has never used make up in her life so I'm on my own... lol

  6. Great job, and that Trick eyeshadow is just beautiful!!
    I really don't think I will ever get the Naked 3 palette because it's too peachy toned for my liking, will you please let me know if you find a dupe for Trick??

    Love you :-*

    1. It's definitely unique. I find that Naked 3 is very purple- especially in the darker shades.
      I have a dupe list here if this helps! http://www.temptalia.com/swatch-gallery?sg=136688,124571,117866,115556,111095,109587,105600,94345,144418

      Thanks again for your honest feedback MJ !
