How do you wear orange shadows?
MAC’s Paparazz-she and Saffron are my favourite orange colours at present.
MAC Saffron eyeshadow is the best one hands down, too bad it’s small because I use it as a blush. The MAC website makes Saffron sound like a brown but it isn’t at all it’s a dark orange that’s not neon. It makes for the prettiest blush color in the world!
I tend to prefer Indie oranges, though that Nyx one looks promising.
Stila Terracotta
NYX’s “Hot Orange” is really cool…giant glitter chunks 🙂
Great selection! Love the shimmery orange 🙂
I have Rule and I love it. It’s blendable and a very warm color. Very good for summer.
Does anyone know how MAC Rule compares to UD Jones?
MAC Evening Aura (or the recent dupe Straw Harvest). It’s a beautiful light, slightly peachy orange.
I love oranges. If you have blue eyes, nothing makes them pop more than orange.
I personally LOVE MAC’s “Off the Page” eyeshadow! It’s such a gorgeous tangerine shade.
MAC Fab and Flashy
MAC Off the Page; Papparazzshe; Coppering (this wears orangey on me)
MAC Rule
MAC Juiced
MAC Firespot
MAC Mango Mix Shadestick
And MAC Orange. Ok, that’s 5 for me.
NARS’s Mediterannee eyeshadow duo has the most pigmented and perfectly coordinating combination of orange shadows i’ve ever used.
Inglot amc #51 is my fave.
NARS Scorching Sun eyeshadow Duo has two beautiful oranges!
The right side of the NARS Mediterannee (sp?) duo is absolutely amazing. Kind of like Taj Mahal blush in an eyeshadow, so smooth and pigmented and unique!
MAC Firespot. 🙂
I have Fyrinnae Red Panda though I’ve never worn it.
Make up Store Microshadow in Sunrise is THE BEST and it’s 3.5g compared to MAC 1.5g for the same price
Love that NYX shadow! I have an MUFE Eyeshadow in Tangerine 18 which is really bright and matte! My current favorite =)
I like the cute, matte orange in the Body Shop limited edition palette for this spring/summer, nice daytime look for the office.
I love MAC’s Rule and MAC’s Orange eyeshadows.
I really love MAC’s Off the Page, it is soooo pretty <3
Haha, I was just looking at all of your “5 ways” posts, and I see that there IS a 5 Orange Shadows post… I had previously submitted a post requesting it, not knowing that it was already here. Whoops! 🙁 So sorry!

i would like to know cos im thinking of getting UD Jones.
Wondering…
