6 Fabulous Products That Prove Orange Is The ONLY Colour You

So a while back I was daydreaming about makeup, as you do, and my thoughts turned to eyeshadow. You see it feels like we've seen a proliferation of pink and reddy tones of late. Sure, those warmer hues always been around, but since Anastasia Beverly Hills brought out the Modern Rennaisance palette it seems like more and more palettes have come out specifically with those kind of rosy, pinky, reddy shades in them. They're pretty shades, no doubt about it, but part of me got to thinking... what about orange? Yes, the palettes do tend to have the odd orange shade thrown amongst the berry tones, and Urban Decay's Naked Heat was orangey - but more in a terracotta/copper kind of way, which is nice - but I want more! I want shades of tangerine and carrot, pumpkin and papaya. I want firey orange, muted orange, brownish-oranges. The lot!

Well - it turns out my waiting days are now well over, because the last few months have seen beauty brands pulling out the orange shades in a big way! Check these drool-worthy palettes out...

Natasha Denona. Swoon. Her Sunset Palette is divine. The not so divine part of it? The price. At US$129 it's a little hard to justify. Thank goodness there's another palette out there that's rather similar, in fact some say it's a dupe...

Yes, Please! Not only is that the reaction we had to to this palette (and it's far more affordable price) - it's also the name of it. Look at those sunshiney shades! It's happiness in a palette. Yes please, indeed!

While Urban Decay's Naked Heat palette didn't quite float my orange loving boat, the Urban Decay Naked Petite Heat with its burnt orange shade does. I have my fingers and toes crossed it hits Mecca, because I feel it needs to join my palette family.

Want to go next level with orange obession? The Morphe 35O2 Second Nature Palette is like an ode to a sunset. Or an ode to an autumnal day. A bit of both. Either way, we are here for it. 

If orange on your eyes isn't your thing, but you want to embrace the trend - then you can pop it on the toes for a delightful downward glance surprise, or make a splash and apply it to your fingernails. How gorgeous is the shade 'Cuba Libre' from Odeme? SO gorgeous! I want to add it to my orange nail polish collection... because I don't have enough already. (Yes, yes I do.)

Or if you're into all things bold, brash and beautiful, L'Oreal Paris Colur Riche Intense Lipstick in Orange Fever may well get you all hot and bothered!

It's a good day when the universe answers your makeup prayers! So, are you excited to branch out into orange? Are you ahead of the trend? Or does this shade give you the pip? Get chatting!

I prefer peach orange or coral if I were to use orange as my eyeshadow, but only the subtle kind and I've got an bright orangey red matte liquid lipstick.

Love the look of the urban decay palette! Beautiful and bronzy

There is a reason why 'Coral Dawn' is a really popular Karen Murrell lippy (not technically orange but related). Orange is a soft hue, flattering on most skin tones. I lean towards copper tones, with shimmer, on my eyes as darker and/or lighter colours look too harsh on my pinkish ivory skin. Absolutely love terracotta/burnt orange clothing.

I like orange blushes! I bought an orange one off Sigma and may buy more. It's a really natural looking blush color to wear once it's blended out. As for eyes I just this year I have been loving more warm tones. I'm definitely into matte eyeshadows so have eyed up the Petite Heat palette but I think I would get more variety out of the Just Peachy Palette. Will probably buy the ABH Modern Renaissance later this year if I've been a good girl and panned off more of my eyeshadows.

I love orange on my nails, and that lippy I’m peachy keen on

I love orange, I had orange gerbras for my wedding, I own the Loreal Lipstick in Orange Fever. Using an orange eyeshadow really makes my blue eyes pop!

With Autumn just around the corner, I am loving the orange toes idea, very nice indeed

I can do lipstick and nail polish, but have to be careful about certain shades of orange on my face/eyes. A pinky peach is one of my favourite eye shadow shades though - it makes my hazel/green eyes pop!

I'm not so sure about orange, although an orange-pink is quite a nice shade for me in blusher, especially when I have a bit of a tan! Pro tip: Blood orange essential oil is really nice in an oil-burner :)

Unfortunately orange and I are not good friends. I literally look like an oompa loompa when I wear that colour. The only orange I have is one bottle of orange nail polish and that is far as it goes. I only wear it for dress up parties lol.

I love the look of the oranges in the palettes - they're gorgeous, but other than my nails I probably wouldn't go near orange!!

22nd February, 2018

I barely ever wear anything orange, but is it bad that I still want all of those above products?! hahaha

22nd February, 2018

I love orange but it doesn't love me -I am totally the wrong colouring for orange shades but they look fantastic on my friend.

21st February, 2018

A big no from me! Orange is my least favourite colour to wear.
