Make Up How To: Tangerine Dream

Orange. Make up. The two words don't quite slide together, do they? But before you're filled with images of perma-tans and WAGs, I don't mean the orange you usually would avoid at all costs, I mean the subtle use of orange and coral to cleverly brighten up your makeup. Whilst playing with a palette the other day I spontaneously decided to use an orangey-copper on my eyes and I actually liked it. A lot of tutorials featuring orange eye make up online are quite dramatic but I wanted to create a subtle look more suitable for daytime. So here, readers, is my make-up how to: tangerine dream.


Step One:

Prep your skin using moisturiser and primer. I'm using Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer. Then it's time for foundation and although this is an 'orange' make-up tutorial, I urge you  to avoid the tangerine look in this part. Instead use a foundation similar to your complexion, or just one shade darker. I use Clinique Stay Matte Foundation in 'Alabaster'. Whether you choose to apply with your fingers or brush is up to you. I'm using a foundation brush to apply it evenly before using the brush in downward strokes to blend it and pat for excess foundation. 

Step Two:

Dust a white shade of eyeshadow, with a touch of shimmer, over your eyelids. I'm using 'martini' from the Sleek Snapshots i-Divine palette.







Step Three:

Then it's time for orange! Blend an orangey-copper shade into the crease of your eye. Draw a line on the crease with the shadow and fill in the space between the line and the eyelid. I'm using another shade from the Sleek Snapshots i-Divine palette named 'sunset'. Then I used a rounded brush to blend in the colour with the white shade used earlier.










  
 Step Four:

 Now it's time to go bright! I used the shade from the aforementioned palette, named 'tequila sunrise'. Lightly tap the vivid shade onto the corners of eyelids with a small brush before using the same brush as before to blend the shade seamlessly into the copper and white shades.



 Step Five:

Apply a soft line of brown eye pencil just above the lash line for definition. I'm using Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Liner Pencil in 'brown'.







 Step Six:

Curl eyelashes for 15 seconds eye. Then apply apply a few coats of mascara. I'm using Benefit Bad Gal Lash in 'black'. Press the mascara wand onto bottom lashes lightly for a second to give them length too.





 Step Seven:

Now it's time to focus on your face again. Apply powder to your face; I'm using Rimmel Stay Matte Power in 'peach glow'. Then, using a brow comb, brush through eyebrows briefly to shape them.















Step Eight: 

To achieve a coral glow on cheeks I used Benefit Cha Cha Tint. It's great for a flush of colour but make sure to rub it in straight after applying, as the tints tend to stain easily.






Step Nine:

Using a large, round brush, sweep 17 Glow Shimmer Brick in 'pink bronze' over the apples of cheeks for a touch of shimmer.







Step Ten:

Using Benefit Cha Cha Tint again, apply the stain to lips before rubbing in for a long lasting, coral flush of colour. Add a lip gloss to finish. I'm using Coralista Benefit Lip Gloss, as it also has orange undertones.















 
With Summer around the corner it's time to embrace colour and I know this is daunting so I hope this subtle step-by step tutorial to orange has helped. I can safely say that Orange is one of my favourite colours for Summer, it's just such a bright, vivacious colour!

And to further increase your use of orange why not try these beauty and fashion treats to look more Hollywood star than oompa loompa;

2. River Island Pink and Orange Tweed Jacket, £60.
3. Moroccan Oil Treatment 25ml, £12.85.

7. Zara Leather Court Shoe, £49.99.
8. Rimmel Summer Orange Salon Pro Nail Colour, £4.49.
9. Bourjois Orange Punch Lip Crayon, £7.99.
