Bright Makeup: Yellow, Orange, & Red
Does anyone else find it hard to get back into the swing of things? Whenever there’s been a disruption to my usual day-to-day routine (traveling for business, vacation, getting too sick to move, etc.), I just find it so difficult to fall back into my schedule! Grrr!
I’ll be heading over to MAC once they open (boo, being on the west coast!) to pick up the four missing items from Liberty of London and will update the review once I’ve done that. Who else is visiting their local MAC to grab some Liberty of London goodies?
You will need the following…
- Eyes: Sugarpill Goldilux ChromaLust (metallic gold base), Sugarpill Buttercupcake Eyeshadow (primary yellow), Sugarpill Flamepoint Eyeshadow (bright orange), Sugarpill Love+ Eyeshadow (nearly matte red), MAC Femme-fi Eyeshadow (neutral highlighter), Urban Decay Lucky 24/7 Liner (copper), MAC Plushlash Mascara (black)
- Face: Korres Tinted Moisturizer (Honey)
- Cheeks: MAC Prim & Proper Blush (soft pink-nude), Laura Mercier Polished Radiant Creme Cheek Colour (champagne-pink highlighter)
- Lips: MAC Ever Hip Lipstick (orange-peach), MAC True Babe Lipglass (bright pink)
- Brushes: 226 (fluffy crease brush), 219 (pointed crease brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 116 (dense blush brush), 188 (small stippling brush)
- Substitutes: Femme-fi = Shroom; Prim & Proper = Tenderling, Ever Hip = Ravishing; True Babe = Pink Poodle
For eyes, start by applying Goldilux as your eyeshadow base with the 239 and water-based mixing medium (or water). Using the 239, apply Buttercupcake eyeshadow on the inner third of the eyelid. Next, apply Flamepoint eyeshadow on the middle third of the eyelid and lightly blend with the inner corner. Darken the outer third of the lid with Love+ eyeshadow with the 239, gently brushing it into the lower crease. Lightly blend Love+ eyeshadow, with the 239, on the outer corner and lid. Lightly tap and brush Flamepoint eyeshadow directly above the crease to soften. To finish the eyeshadow look, sweep Femme-fi eyeshadow as a highlighter on the brow bone. Bring everything together by applying Lucky eyeliner on the lower lash line. Finish by sweeping lashes with Plushlash mascara.
For cheeks, apply Prim & Proper blush to the apples of the cheeks and sweep upwards towards the temple with the 116. Highlight cheeks with Polished cheek colour with the 188 for a soft sheen.
For lips, apply Ever Hip lipstick first, and then layer True Babe lipglass for a complementing lip.

Beautiful! Must try it tomorrow. Oh and by the way, if you look closely, it looks like you’ve got leopard spots on your irises
Thank ya, Charlotte!
Haha! I do! Super up close, I always thought they looked like tree roots!
Pretty as always. When you answered someone’s question abt wearing lens in Ask Temptalia, I was so surprised. I had thought those were lens for a long time
Aw, thanks Az
EEK! Those colors look GREAT on you! So vibrant. You really handle warm colors well. Lucky duck!
Yay! Thanks, Jillian
Wow, this is beautiful!
Thank you, Lana!
This look is intense! I’ve missed these kinds of fun looks
Thanks, Steph!
Boldly beautiful!!! I really love this look Christine! Quick question – whenever I use water based mixer, I end up with verrrrry wet eyes and grody brushes. Help? *begging* thanks!
Thank you!!
Hmm, I apply just a drop, and if it feels wet, I wipe it on the back of my hand, then I pick up the product!
Hey Christine, Im waiting for my lunch break to head over to Nordies in SF to pick up my pre-ordered MAC stuff..Im sure ill end up getting more once Im there. So far I got: Ever Hip l/s, Shell Pearl B/P, bough grey e/s, and High Style l/g..
Ohh!! Enjoy, Jasmine!
Only a few more hours til lunch…

Thank ya!
So cool Christine!! Lovin’ it
Thanks, Zeezee!
Wow!!! Wonder if i could pull this look off with the RED?? I might end up looking like I just had an allergy or something.
But you did a great job with these colors!
LOL! With the right colors, I think you can! I also think that this is such a true red with SO much pigmentation that it’s unmistakable that it’s *eyeshadow*, you know?
Thank you!

Fierce!!!

WOW! You look so hot! I’ve seen a bunch of sugarpill looks and this is the first one I really think is wearable..so gorgeous!
Thanks so much, Regina!
Hey Christine! Will you be doing a look with the new Bobbi Brown Bonfire palette? I also can’t wait to get the new Ever Hip lipstick after seeing this!
I will!
I’m loving this look! And that lip combo looks amazing!! I have to try it soon
Thanks, Mimi!
This might be too much bright on my skin tone, but i LOVE this! I wish I’d seen that sugarpill palette before spending all my money, those colors are RIGHT up my alley!
Thank you!!
Love the lips!!!
Glad ya liked the lips, Christine!
I really love the Lucky eyeliner! Everytime I see you wear it, I’m like, what is that, I really like it. I think it would be a simple way to make a great eye!
PS. The look is pretty awesome, keep them coming please
Thank you, Nadine!
I’m into the subtle cleopatra thing you’ve got going on with the narrow band of bright color. also, that orange shadow color is amazing. hard as all heck to wear but such a pretty color!
Orange can definitely be a harder-to-wear shade!
Wow, Christine, I hardly ever do lipstick-lipgloss combinations (I just dislike the feel of layers on my lips, especially if I have a ‘full face’ of makeup), but this combination kind of taught me: see, this is what you might be missing out on!
It’s lovely and compliments your colouring so well!I’m tempted,I feel this might suit me too.
Aww!
THank you, Petra!
WOW – you always look super nice in these summer looks
I love it, and wish I could pull that off….
Thank you, Victoria M!
I really really loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the lips!!!!!!!
Thanks, Abril!
Awesome you used Sugar Pill – it’s really pigmented! It’s a great “welcome summer” look!
Definitely!
And yes, I will be making a return visit to the Pro-store this Saturday. I just wish that they weren’t in the Marina -bit of a hassle driving into. I’m hoping to stick to the Blue India nail polish and maybe a blush.
Love Ever Hip on you!
I had a small Give Me Liberty haul…Ever Hip l/s, Blooming Lovely l/s and Soft Shell b/p. I was so disappointed when I got home b/c my Ever Hip had been set off center inside the tube and got totally mangled when I twisted it up. Luckily, I went back and they gave me a new one
oops! I mean Shell Pearl b/p
Thanks, Elly!
So glad they did!
oooooooh gorgeous look. sucks i missed out on true babe!!
Aw, thanks, Livia!
Try Pink Poodle instead!
So nice and vibrant!!!
Thanks, Andrea!
thank you so so so much for this look!
I’m starting to save up now…LOVE IT!
You are such a beautifully amazing woman and I love everything you do, keep it up
Thanks a lot, Hannah!
Love the lips, but not the red eyes. Looks good in close up, but not the whole face pictures. Beautifully applied, as always though, just bit too red imo.
Thanks, Anita
Ooh, sunset! :] These warm looks look really great on you, by the by. Very interesting to see how you made the bright pink gloss work over a peach lipstick, and then made that work with the eyes. Good job!
Thanks, Annie!
SOOOOOO pretty!!! You can pull off anything!
Thanks, Cherie!
WOW this is amazing!!!
Thank you, Jennifer!
I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS LOOK! Perfect for spring/summer. Thanks for introducing me to Sugarpill Christine.
Thank you!!
Sugarpill is insane-crazy bright stuff – excellent!
Beautiful look, Christine; I love the colors on you- you pull them off wonderfully. However, I can’t help but notice that most of your looks tend to be the same in terms of application; the only thing you change is the colors.
This is my style, you could say
I do my makeup very much on what I like not necessary trying to be different or trying something new for the sake of it.
This look reminds me of one of those rocket frozen pops! Christine, I would love to see you with curly hair one day! You would look gorgeous ;D
Thank ya
the lip combo is super cute!
Glad ya liked it, Charlie!
I went to my MAC counter this morning (in the rain) just to get my hands on the things I wanted from the new collection, and they didn’t have it! Last week they said they’d be getting it in today, but this morning they told me that they’re a week behind on everything. They just got the Too Fabulous collection. I was so disappointed.
OH NO!
That sucks so much, Carrie!
your actual eyes look awesome!!!
Thanks, Melissa
wow the Sugarpill products look great on you! I might have to pick some up.
They’re awesome!
Hey Christine – question about the Yellow. How does it compare to MAC’s super bright matte yellow (can’t remember the name)?
This one looks so much more vibrant than the MAC one I have, so I’m thinking of buying it from Sugarpill. Let me know what you think!
-A
Chrome Yellow? It’s definitely way more intense than Chrome Yellow!
I love this look! I really like the addition of the red on the outer lid and crease – it gives it this really cool sunburst, fire like look. I don’t have any Sugarpill products but I might try this with some Mac ones like Chrome Yellow, Orange and either Hot Hot Hot or Coppering.
Thanks, Saira!
P.S. I never would have thought to pair that sort of light pinky liipstick and gloss with those eyeshadows but it goes really well together. I normally wear coral or light peach colours with yellow and orange eyeshadows but I think the pink lipstick you used works with the eye look perfectly and stops it from looking too orange.
I find lightly coraled pinks can work well with brighter orange/yellows but still give a little contrast, too!
Not usually a fan of such bright colours, but this reminds me of sexy Spanish women with pulled back hair, beautiful dresses and a lot of sensual dancing and red wine. I would look terrible with this, but it really does suit you. Beautiful indeed. I think a lipstick with a more orangy hue would also suit these eyes well, yes?
Aw! Thanks, Hilana! You could definitely do a more orange lip with this!
this makeup makes your eyes pop!!! looks great on you!!! great way to do such a bright makeup… must try
Thanks, Luisafer!
Oooh! I love this! It reminds me of summer popsicles or rainbow sherbet. Fantastic look!
Thanks again, Megan
awesome looking makeup!!!! holla!!!
Thank you, Claudette!
oh wow soooo prettty!!
Thanks, Abby!
