Dare to Wear Look: Yellow, Coral, Red Looks 8/02/10August 02, 2010 Dare to Wear Look: Yellow, Coral, RedIf there is one beauty lesson I cannot seem to learn is to remove mascara before doing a look! Argh! I always do this — have mascara on for some other purpose, decide to do a look, but don’t want to waste time (aka being lazy) removing mascara and then waiting for the area to dry (don’t want to apply eyeshadow base on top of remover… counterproductive!)… and then the mascara looks all clumpy and yuck at the end. No more being lazy!I did upper lash liner because I know some will be disappointed otherwise if they saw this look sans the liner. I was just playing around with the combo last night anyway, so removing it after ten minutes wasn’t going to break my heart so it worked out 🙂 Well, except for the minor swelling this AM, lol!You can easily pair this look with a toned down coral, pink, or even nude lip. I went for the gusto and used Gimme That! but it’s not necessary.You will need the following…Eyes: NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base (neutral eyeshadow base), MAC Going Bananas Eyeshadow (light yellow), MAC Free to Be Eyeshadow (pinky coral), MAC Louder, Please Eyeshadow (pinky red), Burberry Trench Eyeshadow (highlighter), Urban Decay Zero 24/7 Liner (black), MAC Blacktrack Fluidline (black), MAC Plushlash Mascara (black)Face: Make Up For Ever HD Foundation (140), Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder (translucent)Cheeks: Korres #15 Natural Blush (neutral brown), theBalm Mary Lou-manizer (highlighter)Lips: MAC Gimme That! Dare to Wear Lipglass (bright pink)Brushes: 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 226 (fluffy crease brush), 219 (pointed crease brush), 116 (dense blush brush)Substitutes: Going Bananas = Goldmine + Nylon; Louder, Please = Passionate; Gimme That! = Funtabulous For eyes, start by applying Smudgeproof as your eyeshadow base all over the eye area with the 249. Using the 239, apply Going Bananas eyeshadow on the lower half of the lid. Lightly blend Free to Be eyeshadow on the middle of the lid, horizontally, with the 239. Apply Louder, Please eyeshadow on the outer half of the crease with the 239 and lightly blend upwards. Blend Trench eyeshadow with the crease shade and highlight the brow bone. Bring everything together by applying Zero liner on the lower lash line and Blacktrack fluidline on the upper lash line with the 208. Finish by sweeping lashes with Plushlash mascara. Add false lashes if desired.For cheeks, apply #15 Natural blush on the apples of the cheeks and sweep upwards towards the temple with the 116, then lightly pat Mary Lou-manizer on the cheekbones.For lips, apply Gimme That! lipglass for a complementing lip.Check out more photos!
Prernaahhh, okay I know I keep changing my favorite look of yours but THIS one has to be my favorite! Sooo pretty!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »LOL! That’s okay. As long as you have one! 🙂Thanks, Prerna!
lady di.I never thought I would like hot pink/red on the eyes but you definitely pulled out off in this look. This is really pretty!Im going on a caribbean cruise and I think this look would look great for the formal dinner night!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I find if you wear it with really blue-based purples or golds/coppers, it’s wayyy easier to wear 🙂
MeganLove this! (Sooo much more than the fake eyelashes look!) Also that lip gloss is amazing, are there flecks of blue glitter in it? If so I might have to go get it, I’m a sucker for pink glosses with blue glitter!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thank you! 🙂 Yes, very subtle bluish flakes!
daphneOhhhh. Daaang. Okay, I guess that cements it, I am going to pick up Louder, Please with one of my two sets of empties tonight 😀 (I already purchased Going Bananas, but think I’ll get Sassy Grass with the other set.) That is just WAY TOO COOL. Of course, it layers especially well with Free to Be, which I don’t plan to get, but perhaps I can use Peaches blush to try a look like this. It would also make a great crease color with (I know this sounds crazy but) a sky blue lid!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Haha!! 🙂Thank you so much, Daphne! Yes, surprisingly, it does. It’s very, very subtle, but it’s totally there.
GraceThis is really pretty!!!!!! You pull off crazy colors like this great… I’m so jealous! Love the colors.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Yay!! Hope you like it!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thanks, Mary!I definitely do if I put them on before I’m going somewhere, lol! I end up putting off doing a look until the end of the day (just because I get wrapped up in other things), so then I’m not going anywhere… but I totally would 🙂 I’m not scared!
AdrianaSo interesting! I like this look, but maybe i will try it in a softer way, i don’t know hahaha… is TOO MUCH pink. But I’m sure of one thing… this kind of looks inspire me to dare and change my normal eyeshadowsThankyou Christine!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Definitely give it a try 😉
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Much, much redder. No purple tones.
MarinaWoah i definitely wouldn’t dare to wear such a bold look! But you! you do pull off any colour or colour combination! Looks hot and fun!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Aw, you totally couldddd! Thank you, Marina!
Stephniiewoow, amazing look! The whole time i was thinking I didn’t need anything from this collection, but these colours work so well together, without being to much! Bummer ^^
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thank you so much, Stephniie!
AnGeLwInGzThat looks awesome, especially with the bright lip gloss. I’ve been unsure about Louder, Please, in and out of the shopping cart all week because I’m not sure how I would wear it. Now I see it looks nice with coral and yellow. Guess that one will go back in the cart and stay there!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thank you! 🙂 Yes, it’s LOVELY with yellow, but very pretty with golds, coppers, and bronzes, too.
Farahhey girl heyyy! you’ve been lining your upper lash line! i hope it isn’t bothering you anymore! 🙂
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »No, it is – I just remove it within 10 minutes after applying, so I only deal with itching and swelling for maybe a few hours instead of days 🙂
baby in a cornerpretty! very avant garde. but are those lips melon coral, looks like a bright pink to me!
NeenaJChristine, you get the “Cajones” award for pulling off this look! It looks fantastic and makes me want to buy Louder Please.But, I just don’t think it’s doable for a workday look. I did get Shockaholic, though, and I LOVE it! It is the perfect bright, warm purple.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »LOL!! Thank you, NeenaJ! 🙂 It’s definitely not a workday look.
GlessieAhaha I wore a similar look like this to work right now except ‘evening aura’ on the inner third 🙂
MeganLove the lips!I think it really pulls this look together:)Love the blush too, may have to pick that up!
holdenisminethis looks good, i think eyeliner just brings everything together nicely, i will have to revisit your past makeup looks because i think for my personal preference i would like them better with eyeliner
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Then just add eyeliner 🙂
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thanks, Shannon! I’m really sorry I can’t do it more often, then!
DianaWow this looks so good on you and haha that’s exactly the look I wanted to do with going bananas, free to be and louder, please <3
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thanks so much, Tina Marie 🙂
DebbyThis is a gorgeous look! Your eyes look beautiful! I really want to try it myself, though it’s probably a little too warm for my skin tone.I did get Gimme That! though, and it’s amazing.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Yay! Glad you got Gimme That!
JasmineGorgeous! And makes me feel like it’s still summer. I really want to get that Going Bananas one.So, is it all eyeliner that bothers you or just some? And it doesn’t bother you on the lower lash line? That’s so odd! Have you heard of this happening to others?
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Just the upper lash line, and it’s anything – false lashes, liner (gel, cream, liquid), eyeshadow (applied on the lash line – not the same as the lid).We have a whole club here – there are several other readers who share my frustration 🙂
JenniferOh you better go! Work it. I think I’d look awful in these colors, but you look great.I did order me two of the “Gimmie that!” L/g’s that color I can wear 🙂BTW I loved those Urban Decay lashes you had on the other bright look. I’m gonna have to get me some of those sometime.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thanks a lot, Jennifer! 🙂
dolce ariaOh, that’s LUSCIOUS! Looks better on you than it probably would on me, but it’s still solidifying my craving to spend money i don’t have at MAC soon.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thanks so much 😀 Hope you can resist, even if it’s just a wee bit 😛
MariahI LOVE this look! I wish I had money to get everything in it!! I love the combo! I know it’s not “conventional” colors, but it’s happy and fun and gorgeous!!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thanks a lot, Mariah! 🙂
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Any particular reason you’re not a fan of mattes?
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Yes, when the video is ready 🙂
EricaFirst, I want to say I love this look! Secondly, I would love to see how the Dare to wear collections compares to Sugarpill
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »The colors don’t really overlap… Shock-a-holic would be the only one that’s remotely similar, but it’s a good deal darker.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Pfft! But thank you, Abby!
inayaoh wow! thats intense! the lou-manizer does wonders for you christine! looking forward to a review and how it compares to by candlelight
TiaNice look. Love the lipgloss!!! Just curious….. Have you ever done A Arabic inspired look. Exotic look for a Exotic Beauty!! You!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thanks, Tia! I haven’t, since the eyeliner is pretty intense and my lash line can’t handle it very well!
HilanaI just love the lips and this is really a very nice and fun look, but I have to agree with Jazz. I am simply not a fan of matt shades. They just tend to look so dead and flat easily.Very nice Christine, and perfect with the black top you’re wearing and those gorgeous tresses of yours. 🙂
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thank you, Hilana! I always feel black is best to pair with such a bright look like this!
Luisaferwow huge impact!!! a good one by the way, looks great, don’t know if I would dare to wear it, hopefully some day…
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thanks, Luisafer! Dare to wear!
AlexandraChristine, I find this is one of the most pretty looks you made so far. It really looks great on you. It gives you a even fresher face. Very, very pretty! Can’t wait for the Dare to Wear collection to come out in Belgium next week on august 8!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thanks a lot, Alexandra 😀
jaspreetI never thought I would like hot pink/red on the eyes but you definitely pulled out off in this look. but i personally i don’t like lip color
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Sorry you didn’t like the lip color!
Hannahgorgeous look 🙂 never would have thought those two would go together so well…still waiting for it to come out in England :/ is louder please similar to love+ from sugarpill?
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thanks a lot, Hannah!Love+ is more like a true red, while Louder, Please has strong pink tones (more like a pinky red or a raspberry red).
PinchOh wow it’s so gorgeous! I thought it would make you look tired or something, but it really brightens up the face! Way to go, Christine! 🙂
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thanks so much, Pinch!
ElleOMG, you’re making me want to go out and buy those other eyeshadows. I thought I was set with just Going Bananas, but now…hahah 🙂 Thanks for the ideas Christine!
Bettinaa bold look indeed..though still amazing. 🙂 I can’t quite decide what to make of that lip color though, I like brights and all but that one seems like it’d be a wee bit intense for me.
ChristineIt’s bold and bright, and you could easily work in something similar in shade but wayyy lighter and still have it look fierce 😀
kfmOooh… I like this one! So bold and perfect for summer. I love the fact that the bright pink/ red on the eyes is hidden when your eyes are open/ looking ahead, but you get the full effect when you glance down.
TaylorI had a Christmas party to go to last night and I needed to figure out how I should do my makeup since I was wearing a black dress. I saw this and I fell in love 🙂 Luckily I had a lot of the same products and the things that werent the same, I had things similar so it worked out great 🙂 really made my eyes pop out. Got lots of compliments during the course of the party 🙂 Thanks!
