I recently came across the picture to the left while browsing for deals at one of my favorite beauty stores. Beauty.com, I instantly fell in love with this look. The vibrant orangey-red lipstick is simply devine. A lot of designers have been using orange lips on their runway models. You would think you would need to pair a vibrant color lip with something subtle on your lids but if you see the picture on the side, the mustard eyeshadow, that gorgeous hue, really works well with the look in it's entirety. From the minute I saw this look I knew I had to duplicate it. I searched and searched for the perfect shade and think I have found 2 that come quite close. I went online to M.A.C, one of my FAVORITE cosmetic stores and looked at their orange lipsticks, I then googled them for swatches just to make sure they were what I needed, because with M.A.C you can't just go with what they describe the color is ALWAYS find a swatch online. Then I needed a mustard yellow eye. I have to admit the color I picked up isn't QUITE what I needed but it's a close match. The color dupe I chose for the lip would be M.A.C's "Morange"($12.50). It isn't as bright as M.A.C'S "Neon Orange", It is darker, and richer. PERFECT! For the eye I found a little store called Sugar Pill Cosmetics, they had a bold yellow eyeshadow called "Butter Cupcake" ($12.00), it's very pigmented I would compare Sugar Pill's eyeshadows with M.A.C. The swatches below were done with no flash so they're pretty close to what they look like in real life. My final thoughts are that the "Morange" would be an excellent dupe if you wanted to recreate this look, the eyeshadow is still a little too bright, I am still searching for that perfect mustard color.
