I love pairing together colors that aren't typically paired. Orange and purple go beautifully together and this tutorial shows a dramatic way to do it!

You Will Need (1 thing)

  • Eyeshadow

Steps (8 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Apply an eyeshadow primer to your eyelids. I used Makeup Artist Network Eye Base. In your crease, apply MAC eyeshadow Stars and Rockets with a fluffy blending brush.

  2. 2

    Blend out Stars and Rockets with another MAC eyeshadow called Paradisco. This color is a light, irridescent peach color.

  3. 3

    Next, apply Sugarpill eyeshadow in Poison Plum to your crease and the outer and inner 1/4th of your eyelid.

  4. 4

    On the lid space you have left empty, apply the coral shade from the Makeup Forever Flash Palette. These paints act as a fantastic base for brigth colors to stick to.

  5. 5

    To set the coral paint, I used Lime Crime's Macarooned eyeshadow from their Palette D'Antoinette.

  6. 6

    To deepen the look, I traced around the peach color with Carbon eyeshadow from MAC.

  7. 7

    Apply Stars and Rockets, Poison Plum, Makeup Forever Flash Palette coral, and Macarooned eyeshadow on the bottom lid just as you did on the top lid. To apply the glitter, I used MAC eyeliner mixing medium. I applied a small amount to the peach colored area on my top and bottom lid, and then quickly patted Makeup Artist Network Glitter Dust in shade #124 on top.

  8. 8

    Fill in your waterline with a white pencil. I used Makeup Forever Kohl Pencil in White. Apply mascara and false lashes.
