Hello ladies,

here’s a bright look I put together using orange and purple shades. I really like how it came out. I think these colors work well together and compliment each other nicely.

Here’s the look, hope you like it:

orange purple and white 01

orange purple and white 02

Products Used:
- Urban Decay Primer Potion
- Sleek Curious palette (white)
- Barry M Dazzle Dust #77 orange
- Kiko eyeshadow in Vinaccia Scuro (purple)
- Sleek Original palette (purple)
- L’Oreal Telescopic Explosion mascara

Directions:
- Apply UDPP all over lid as a base.
- Apply a white shade on the inner lid and inner lower lashline (I used the white one in Sleek Curious palette), an orange shade (I used Barry M Dazzle Dust #77 orange) on the middle lid and lower lashline and a light purple shade (I used Kiko Vinaccia Scuro) on outer lid and lower lashline. Blend where the colors meet.
- Darken the crease and the outer corner with a darker purple (I used the one in Sleek Original palette).
- Apply the white shade you previously used on the browbone to highlight.
- Finish off with mascara.

You do pull of some of the tougher colours (I’m Asian) like oranges and purples! I’d look like I have contact dermatitis and a bruise if I did it. I think the reds and the green of your eyes produce a nice clash — discordant colours make both look brighter. :)

I love that purple! That dash of orange really brings out your eyes. I would love to see you do a look with red. (:

Anastacia: aww thank you hun!

Nikki: thanks. I used to be scared of wearing orange cos it’s a hard color to pull off, but now I really like it :)

Jasmine: thank you! I like how the colors are contrasting yet compliment each other nicely. Oh, that’s a shame, but I’m sure there are lots of other beautiful colors that look great on you ;)

Dao: thank you! I love my brights but most people, like my mum, think I look best with neutral shades. But bright makeup is so fun and I love how it looks :)

Dee: thank you! I love red eyeshadow and I’ll do a look with it soon ;) Actually, I think I should have some pictures of a look where I wore red on my computer but they need to be cropped. I shall look for them and post them soon.
