***Yes I will be working on a contour video soon focusing on the new sculpt and shape compacts, though it is pretty similar to the last contouring video I did, however I will do one using the new 138 brush as well as highlighting, stay tuned!***
I finally had the guts to do a fotd using the orange NYX eyeshadow I bought a few weeks ago: "Golden Orange".
At first I was a bit disappointed at the way it was turning out, let's say it was a tad bit TOO bright of an orange, so I then took a little bit of gold and a grey-ish color over it to tone it down a little bit, then I was happy with it haha...it's a nice change for me and I really like how simple and subdued it looks.
In case you are wondering how I did my hair, I had a crimper/waver I had for YEARS and thought id dust it off and bring it back to life, I actually liked it a lot because usually my hair is just dead straight since I am super lazy. I might just do it more often...
What I used:
Face:
- Smashbox Photo Finish Primer
- Silk Naturals Foundation
Cheeks:
- For contour I used "Sculpt" Powder
- Applied "Accentuate" on nose and apples of cheeks
- Blush: Milani "Luminous"
Eyes:
- MAC Paint Pot in "Painterly" as base
- MAC "Your Ladyship" Pigment over entire lid
- NYX single eyeshadow in "Golden Orange" on lower half of the lid just above the crease
- Milani eyeshadows "Sun Goddess" and "Mercury" (with a little "Storm") above the orange
- Nixie Liquid Eyeliner in "Black"
- Covergirl LashBlast Mascara in "Blackest Black"
Lips:
- AVON Lipstick in "Nude Pink"

WoW I love this! It's bright but it's not screaming at you. The lippy is also a nice natural pink. *runs to avon dot com* LOL
It came out very nice! Your crease colors remind me of the Clue. I'm so in love with the combination.
You are so lucky to have naturally straight hair. The crimp rocks!
Wow Vanessa, that's a very bright orange! You weren't kidding - and that's the toned down version? :D Regardless, you pull it off well. It's nice to see someone who isn't afraid of colour! Looking forward to your video tutorial as well as a NYE FOTD (*hint*, heheheh)
hey i really like this look!! i can't find golden orange anywhere on the nyx site...where did you get it from??
Hi Anonymous- I don't know remember the hair color name, I actually got caramel highlights a few months ago, then dyed it a dark brown so it's basically the dark brown over the highlights...and thanks for the sweet compliment! I am glad you can find this site useful!
Lynne- Thank you! Yeah at first I wasn't liking it, so I added some more colors and it came out ok!!!
Thanks exgirlfriend! It's actually not that bright in person, it's very subdued, especially if my eyes are open you can't really see a lot of orange. NYE fotd?? Refresh my memory...it's been a long year! haha
Anonymous- I bought it at this store called "Glitz" that is downstairs by my work...
Wow! Such a fresh look!
