Eyeshadow Palettes

When it comes to selecting an eyeshadow palette to go with your orange lip, I go for two different types. The first type is a color range that features orange (of course!) or a variety of orange-related hues. The second type is a nude palette. Now, my collection is completely inundated with nude palettes, and I am sure yours is as well. I will not sit here and tell you to go by a Naked palette. All of these suggestions are for high-quality, easy to use drugstore and high-end palettes that will add something fresh to your collection, while supporting an orange eye. I could even go on further with this list, but the last thing I want to do is overwhelm you, dear reader.

To create the eye look at home, start by setting the eyelid with Desert Sand. Next, apply Blazing into the crease and bring it down below the eye. Then, apply Eden onto the eyelid, and also bring it down below the eye. Now, apply Saffron to the outer-v and connect it down to the lower lash line. Finish this look by highlighting the brow bone and inner corner with Angelic.
