Orange spring makeup – tutorial

 

*adlink

 

Spring doesn’t know about all the craziness going around the whole world. Spring doesn’t know things are cancelled. It doesn’t start its mornings by worrying and checking out the news. No, no, no. It wakes up excited to see how many new flower buds have risen today. Or better yet, maybe it never goes asleep and just tirelessly works to bring us the next best spring and summer.

Because when has spring ever let us down? Or summer? Maybe we’re not looking at the best time of our lives, but we can still make the most of it.

Just like spring does.

Orange spring makeup tutorial

Today I’m sharing with you this simple look inspired by spring. Orange is possibly my favorite color for eyeshadow, because it just suits me so well. If you have warm undertone and blue or green in your eyes, I really recommend trying orange.

You can do this look with just two colors – orange and yellow. Instead of yellow you can also use some other light shimmery shade in the center of the lid and in the inner corner. However, if you’re having trouble blending the orange nicely, you can use a transition color as well, to help blend the orange to your skin. In that case I would choose a warm peach or a lighter orange shade.

  1. Apply orange eyeshadow in the shape that you want your eyeshadow to be. Nothing new here really – I keep my eye open to see how high I want to lift the shadow. Pretty high on my eye, as you know. I went for a halo eye kind of look. That means I applied the orange all over the lid except the center, which I saved for the yellow shade.
  2. Blend the orange well. I wanted the blend to be really hazy.
  3. Apply yellow in the center of the lid and a touch on the center of your lower lashline as well (optional).
  4. Apply inner corner highlight, liner, mascara and lashes. All done!

My lashes are Eylure Enchanted Heartbreaker lashes. I had worn them a couple of times already so this was their last trip. You’ll find similar ones from *Eylure . I really like their lashes, because in most of their lashes the lashband is very thin, making it comfortable. They also have natural looking lashes, that are not too crazy (though there are obviously big lashes available too).

I’ve used Vita Liberata’s beauty blur a lot lately and I really like it. It’s a tinted primer that evens out the skin tone and gives a subtle glow. I’ve even used it just by itself a lot lately (and skipped foundation!). It just makes my skin look really nice and I love to have a light base that feels like I’m not really wearing anything.

5 looks with the Conspiracy Palette

conspiracy palette makeup looks

A while ago I borrowed my sisters’ newest eyeshadow palette and decided to create five different looks with it. I actually helped my sisters in buying this palette, since it was only sold in Helsinki and they were both out of town at the time. I got try the palette quickly then, but now after really using it for a week, I feel like I can give a proper opinion on it.

Jeffree Star x Shane Dawson Conspiracy palette is big, bulky and not necessarily my style when it comes to packaging, but I love what’s inside. The colors are unique, versatile and nicely pigmented. The formula is nice and easy to blend. The colors are great, because there are the basic neutral colors as well as some really nice colors. My favorite colors out of the palette are Conspiracy, Trisha, Not A Fact, Just A Theory and Illuminatea.

Here are my makeup looks done with the Conspiracy palette!

Look 1 – Rainbow eyeshadow

This was the first look I did with a palette so it’s no wonder it turned out as this rainbow look. I just wanted to use as many colors as possible! When doing a colorful look like this, remembering color theory is useful. Here the colors go smoothly from red, orange, yellow, green to blue.

My lipstick is *YSL Tatouage in Crazy Tangerine

Look 2 – Pink orange cut crease

I’m proud of this look, because it’s so different to my usual style. I even used negative space here, by not applying anything on the center of my lid. The colors I love, so this is something I feel very comfortable in.

My lipstick is *YSL Volupte Shine in a pinky coral shade.

Look 3 – Purple & pink

This is my personal favorite from these looks. In real life it looked more purple, but somehow it photographed very pinky.

Here I wore Madara’s new lip gloss, shade Nude Coral. My newest lip gloss obsession! (Will blog about it more soon.)


Look 4 – Teal smokeye eye

This was a pain to photograph, but it looked super nice in real life. With green-blue eyes you can’t go wrong with a teal smokey eye!

Wore a peachy lipstick with the Madara gloss on top.

Look 5 – A touch of green

Of course I also wanted to use the neutrals of the palette, so this final look is quite toned down. I did use some light green on my lower lashline though! I love a pop of color like this.

My lipstick was *Rimmel Provocalips, shade Kiss Me You Fool.
