Toned Down Morange FOTD

I bought Mac Morange on a whim recently, and it is the brightest, boldest color I personally own. I absolutely love it but on me, it looks awful without a lipgloss on top to tone it down a tiny bit. My lips are still a vibrant orange, but not as neon! Here's a realllly simple (hopefully not too boring) neutral look I did to pair with it. I just started piling different warm, brown neutrals on my lid, and blended well hoping it would look alright in the end! lol

What do you think? How would you wear Mac Morange or a really bright orange lip!? Might give Morange another go in a future FOTD soon :)

Coral Jardin Aires Fotd

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I'm just finishing up my last week of undergrad so I've been really busy! Here's a simple neutral look I did today using Mac Jardin Aires pigment. I need to figure out how to take clearer, better pictures because the camera didn't capture the loveliness of this pigment! I tried taking some eye pictures the last few days and didn't even bother posting them because they didn't come out well. Any advice?!

Didn't line the waterline today either! Not sure if i like it better or not though!

Cherries in the Snow FOTD

Normally I am the girl that tends to shy away from brighter lipsticks. I love my pinks, pinky nudes, mlbb ("my lips but better"), even peachy ones...I wear bright ones only once in a while. Lately though I've been trying to wear lips that are a little more bold. I had some extracare bucks at CVS the other day and picked up Revlon Cherries in the Snow. It's a beautiful bright reddish pink and I'm kind of surprised that I really love it and I don't feel self conscious wearing it! Yay! Today I did a very, very neutral look to go with it...here's how it turned out...

R&R Skintight on lid & highlight, R&R Diffused in crease & outer lid, Mac handwritten in outer-v and Mac Wedge to blend

Don't mind the messy, wet hair ;)
