E/s: MAC Coppering
L/s: MAC So Chaud

Hmm… this is a thinker. Orange isn’t really a love of mine. I guess I just don’t like it enough on me to spend money on it.
Your skin tone/coloring: light to medium with yellow undertones, dark brown eyes, black hair
Favorite orange lipstick? Can’t say I have one. The closest thing I own to orange is MAC Hibiscus lipstick. Remember that thing?!
Favorite orange eyeshadow? Sephora + Pantone blush in Apricot Brandy. Remember that thing?! I think I gave it to my sister-in-law.
Favorite orange nail polish? The closest thing I have is probably Zoya Rica and only because it’s somewhat coral-orange at certain angles.
You can tell by my lack of interesting answers that I’m mostly avoiding final projects for college at the moment 😉
Your skin tone/coloring: Very fair with neutral undertones; magenta hair; hazel/green eyes.
Favorite orange lipstick? e.l.f. Studio Mositurizing Lipstick in Orange Dream; Kat von D Everlasting Liquid Liptstick in A Go-Go.

Favorite orange nail polish? UD Bang, OPI Orange You Fantastic.
True orange is not a color I can easily pull off, so I won’t be able to answer this time! I like peach, orange-based coral, apricot shades, but I can’t think of a single orange eyeshadow or lipstick (I’m sure i have a couple shadows in palettes but they’re not getting much love).
Your skin tone/coloring: NW-25

Favorite orange nail polish? I’m not much for nail polish, Essie Tarte Deco is the closest to orange that I have worn.

Favorite orange lipstick? I only have one from LA Girl which I wear on occasion but I havent really gone into them. I also have a lipgloss from Sleek which is a beautiful coral orange, shade Blasé.
Favorite orange eyeshadow? I only tried one, from Sleek as well, in their Sunset palette! It was epic from start to finish but I passed on the palette because I never used it :/
Favorite orange nail polish? I have never had one! Oh my.
Your skin tone/coloring: Fair/light warm (NC15), hazel eyes, auburn hair.
Favorite orange lipstick? MAC Viva Glam Miley II, but I think that’s the only one I have.
Favorite orange eyeshadow? MAC Red Brick and Makeup Geek Chickadee are both staples for me!
Favorite orange nail polish? I almost never wear nail polish, and when I do it’s usually a nude pink (usually Essie Fiji or OPI Bubble Bath, something like that).
Your skintone/coloring: Medium w/ olive undertones, deep brunette, teal green eyes w/ gold flecks.
Favorite orange lipstick: MAC Morange, and Lady Danger, as well.

Favorite orange eyeshadow? I like pretty much any orange or peach eyeshadow with good texture and pigmentation-oranges are flattering on me. Some favorites are: Oranges by Lunatick Labs Cosmtics, Sugarpill, and Sigma Beauty’s Ginger Pumpkin
Favorite orange nail polish? Don’t have one, currently looking!
i THINK i am NC35-40
MAC Morange! … i have yet to find an eyeshadow combo that works for it…
i think is a bit red-ish but um, does nars persia count or is it too red?
Opi Atomic Orange is cute!
Your skin tone/coloring: Fairest neutral. Currently using Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Moisture Foundation in 001 as my skin has gone all weird and is actually dry at the moment!
Favorite orange lipstick? That’s a tough one because I’m addicted to lipstick and picking one is pretty difficult! However, it’s probably a tie between Guerlain Rouge G in Genna, a bright orangey red and Clarins Rouge Eclat in Juicy Clementine, which is definitely more of a true orange. The closest I have to a real, true orange is a lip pencil by GOSH called Flirty Orange, which is nice on its own with some lip balm patted on top. Orange doesn’t really suit me so I can’t even remember if I have any other orange lip products. Something’s telling me I do. 😀
Favorite orange eyeshadow? This one’s a lot easier! I love Tangerine from the Ben Nye Grande Lumiere palette. It’s a beautiful, luminous orange. I should really try and use this palette more since it has some gorgeous colours. 🙂
Favorite orange nail polish? I don’t have a tonne of nail polishes but the closest I have is one I got free when buying toothpaste! It’s a Nails Inc. polish and it’s called Optic Flame. I’ve yet to wear it but when I put on nail polish I put it on to last me as long as possible! I don’t change my nail colour too often. Maybe once every two to three weeks or so. Maybe I’ll use it next time. 😛

Lipstick – Maybelline Electric Orange or Colour Pop Frenamie (leans orange on me)
Eye Shadow – MAC Follow Your Fantasy from the holiday tartan collection a few years back
Nail polish – Deborah Lippmann Brick House, also leans orange on me
Skin Tone/ Coloring: Light with pink undertones
Favorite Orange Lipstick: Laura Geller Tribeca Tan (I know it says Tan but it comes off as more of a light light orange)
Favorite Orange Eyeshadow: Anastasia Beverly Hills Morocco from the World Traveler/ Couture Palette- it’s beautiful and such good quality and for $30.00, it is totally worth the splurge!
Favorite Orange Nail Polish: Revlon Uninhibited
Your skin tone/coloring: NW 15/20. I don’t look good in orange and I also don’t like orange at all so this is going to be tricky!
Favorite orange lipstick? The closest I have to an orange lipstick would be either Guerlain Habit Rouge, which is a slightly warm red or MAC Impassioned which is a vibrant pink that leans a bit coral-ish
Favorite orange eyeshadow? Stila Jezebel (probably more a deeper peach) or Kat von D Ludwin or Succubus (from the Shade+Light eyeshadow palette)
Favorite orange nail polish? I absolutely do not have one!
I am so not an orange person and I didnt have anything orange until a couple of days ago I bought the Miley Cyrus viva glam 2 lipstick. I don’t love orange (even though it probably looks good on me as I have medium/light olive skin and brown hair and brown eyes) but this lipstick color is very beautiful I figured I’d give it a try with this one.
I don’t have any orange eye shadows or nail polishes
This post reminds me that I rarely wear orange anything in makeup! But fall always makes me want to break out the rich colors to match the leaves, so maybe I’ll have to dig through my collections for some nice orangey shades.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light with yellow undertones, usually around NC 15-20
Favorite orange lipstick? I’m not big on orange lips, but I did just get NYX Liquid Suede Lipstick in Orange County, it’s an insanely bright orange shade! I haven’t been brave enough to wear it out though, it scares me more than wearing blue or green lipstick for some reason!
Favorite orange eyeshadow? Sugarpill Flamepoint and Fyrinnae Electro Koi!
Favorite orange nail polish? Jailbait by Spoiled by Wet n Wild. Suuuuper bright orange, almost neon!
Coloring: light to medium fairly neutral but some areas More pink from mild rosacea/spider veins. Light brown hair with blonde highlights, blue grey eyes.
Favorite oranges: I really can’t wear orange so I have to say Cleveland Browns orange is my favorite since I’ve lived in the area my entire life
I’m very fair, almost alabaster.
My favorite orange lipstick is Kat Von D’s Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in A-Go-Go, and my favorite orange eyeshadow is Makeup Geek’s Flamethrower, which is perfect for fall. I like to wear in in the center of my lid with Makeup Geek Showtime all over the lid and MUFE Red Brown in the crease.
And I love OPI Atomic Orange, which is hard to find these days, but I wore it at my mom’s wedding and it looked so pretty.
Coloring: medium coolish (Color Drops P2-3).
And I drop dead love the contrast with hot and red oranges. L/S: N. Heat Wave, B. Clementine. And a bunch of Old Prescriptives.
E/S: MUG Chickadee, the rusts of KVD Wrath + Cleopatra, Lorac Apricot. One of my first e/s buys was a Charles of the ritz Orange & Revlon did some nice ones…30-40 years ago.
Since I can’t do nails, I’ll do blush. Taj Ma Bloody Hal. What a fab shade. an old Tony & Tina, mid tone true orange with shimmer. MUG Summer Fling is fairly orange on me. Yeah, the COTY oranges are great…gotta get ’em out. Thanks for the reminder!
and let us not forget is it Squint or Liaison from CP Fetch, Please. Yes, I wore it as eyeliner with a black/orange boa to night job. I was nervous, since I am rehunting a remover, but it came off with grape seed oil & never bothered my eyes at all…even on the waterline. And aloe breaks me out. Go figure.
Your skin tone/coloring: very fair, neutral (leaning warm)
Favorite orange lipstick? Revlon Balm Stain in Rendezvous
Favorite orange eyeshadow? I’ve never tried a true orange, but the sunset-ish colors in the It Cosmetics Naturally Pretty palette are quite nice.
Favorite orange nail polish? Probably Zoya Coraline (translucent and juicy!) or OPI Jinx–I love the golden glitter texture against the bright orange-red!

Favorite orange lipstick? Sephora Cream Lip Stain in Mandarin Muse
Favorite orange eyeshadow? I think the only two I own that are really in the “orange” category are Stila Jezebel in the Eyes are the Window “Mind” Palette, and Too Faced Macaronin the Sugar Pop Palette.

I have been eyeing “Melrose” from ColourPops Forever Freshman collection though.

Your skin tone/coloring: Fair with neutral-to-cool undertones
