Orange Crush

       Hey everyone! Today's blog post is finally a makeup tutorial! I am still obsessed with the Stila In the Know palette. So, I'm doing another tutorial using that palette for you all. I wanted to do another tutorial using orange. I know that color can be quite scary to wear for some people, but it really is a beautiful color for the eyes. People with any eye color can wear orange, and it will look amazing and just make your eyes pop. 

       Also, I wanted to address the different background and lighting. My sister has moved in with Alex and I for five weeks while she has a clinical. I wanted her to have the guest room/makeup room all to herself without me barging in every time I needed to do my makeup. So, I moved my vanity into Alex's man room, haha. I have the same lighting set up as I did in the other room, but because the wall color is so much darker in his man room, it makes my lighting look way different. So, that explains that, haha. 

       Anyway, with no further ado, let's get into the tutorial. All tips will be listed in the captions below each picture. Enjoy!

I was upset about having a few breakouts, haha.

I primed my face using the Benefit POREfessional. Loooove this primer. Here in the past couple weeks, I've went back to just using this primer, and I still really like it.

For foundation I used the Covergirl Outlast in the color "842."

Foundation is done.

Moving on to the eyes, I used the Lorac Behind the Scenes eye primer to make sure that eyeshadow stayed put.

I first used "Wind" from the Stila In the Know palette, and applied that color all over the lid to create an even-toned base.

Next, with a big fluffy blending brush, I went into "Driftwood" (sorry, you can barely see the name), and blended that right into the crease.

Like so. I just built up that color until I got the desired saturation of color.

Now for the orange! I know it looks like a scary orange, but it's sooooo pretty on the lids! I just applied "Fire" to the lids from the lash line to the crease.

Like so.

And just like the brown shade, I built up the orange until I got the desired color I wanted.

This is what you should have so far.

Then I went back into the "Driftwood" and blended out where the orange and brown meet in the crease.

Like so.

And this is what you should have now.

For liner, I created a sharp wing using the L'Oreal liquid liner in "Earthen Rock Brown."

Like so.

For concealer I used the NYX HD concealer in the color "Light/Pale."

I applied it to my under-eyes like so.

Concealer is blended.

I set that concealer using the MAC Prep + Prime setting powder.

To set the rest of the face I used the Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder. In. Love. This stuff sets your face like a dream. If you haven't seen it already, I did do a blog post just about this product. It's amazing.

Face is set! And, just so you all know, I do not do any sort of Photoshopping to my pictures. I don't even own Photoshop or any other photo editing software, and wouldn't know how to work it if I did, haha. I'm just telling you all that so you can see how freakin' crazy amazing this powder is. It seriously makes your face look like it has no pores. And that's PERFECT for me, as my pores are realllllllyyyy big :).

For bronzer I used Benefit Hoola.

Bronzer is done.

For blush I used the Milani Baked Blush in "Luminoso."

For brows I used the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in "Medium Ash."

Almost there...

I then set them with Benefit Gimmie Brow in the lighter color.

And brows are finished!

Going back to the eyes, I used "Rain" along the outer third of the lower lash line.

Like so.

Then I went back into "Fire" and blended that out along the rest of the lower lash line.

Like so.

Blend, Blend, Blend is the key to smoking out your lower lash line.

I used "Air" to highlight underneath my brows and the inner corners of the eye.

For mascara I used the Jordana Best Lash Extreme.

For lips I used Rimmel London Moisture Renew lipstick in "642 Nude Delight."

Love that color, but it looked a little dull...

So I added the NYX Butter Gloss in "Apple Strudel" on top.

And here's the final look!

 

       And there you have it! An all orange look! Don't ever be afraid of using color. If you don't feel comfortable wearing it out, try wearing it around the house a time or two. You can get more confident with it, and hopefully you'll wear it out in public! Rock that color, girl! Thank you all soooo much for reading! I will see you soon!!
