spring trends: orange lips

It's all about orange! This spring orange lips are hot hot hot! There are so many different shades of orange that fit this trend that literally anyone can rock it. Just takes some trial and error to find the right orange shade for your personal skin tone. Orange smackers were all over the catwalks at this spring's NYFW and can be taken right off the runway and into the streets. Are you intimidated? Don't be, follow this tutorial to learn a universally flattering look to sport with your vibrant, on trend lips.

the eyes:

- Start by priming the lid with a nude eye base or eye primer. (Lorac Behind The Scenes Eye Primer)

- Pack a matte neutral eyeshadaow a few shades lighter than your skin tone along the brow bone and all over the lid. (NYX Nude Matte Shadow #I Have A Headache)

-On a fluffy blending brush, sweep a matte grey shadow through the crease and really blow this out upwards toward the brow bone. (NARS And God Created The Woman Palette)

-Tightline the upper lash line with a dark brown eyeliner. Make sure to keep this as close to the lashes as possible. This will make your lashline appear fuller. (Jane Cosmetics Water Resistant Eyeliner #Brown)

-With a black kohl liner, line the water line. (Jordana 12hr Made to Last Liquid Eyeliner Pencil #Black Point)

-On a flat definer brush, apply the same grey matte shade used in the crease to the lower lash line. This will create a slight smokey shadow. (NARS And God Created The Woman Palette)

-Wet a pencil brush with water, mixing medium, or setting spray and apply a shimmery metallic pewter shadow to the inner tear duct. (KIKO Cosmetics Long Lasting Wet or Dry Use Eyeshadow #200)

-Apply a few coats of your favorite mascara to top and bottom lashes. (DiorShow Mascara)

-Finish off the eyes with a flirty pair of falsies. (Ardell Lashes #Scanties)

the lips:

-Now if bright orange scares you, a good way to ease yourself into the orange trend is with coral. 
-If you find your lipstick bleeds easily, line the lips first with an orange or nude lip liner.
-Then apply your orange lipstick of choice. I chose a matte shade, so it will have better lasting power. (Wet & Wild Lipstick #Purty Persimmon)
-Top of the lips with some shine by applying an orange or coral lip gloss. (Maybelline ColorSensational Lip Gloss #Coral Heat)
