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…

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 🙂

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 😀

But you did a great job with these colors!

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 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 😀

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!

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. 🙂

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 😀

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.

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!

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.

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. 🙁

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!

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.

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.

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?
