Purple smokey eyes + true orange lipstick

Post by Springfairy » Mon Feb 25, 2013 4:58 am

Hi, I'm trying to recreate this purple smokey eye look done by Lisa Eldridge with SN colours including the lipstick (Infatuation might come close?) and the blush. Any recommendations for the colours to use are most welcome.

I'm also looking for a true orange lippie for spring/summer with good coverage but I don't know the warm colour SN lippies too well.

I can't comment on the purples, because i don't wear them very well, but I LOVE orange lippies.

Most of the oranges were dc'd (i swear orange pigments get dc'd the most). I loved mango. Trixie lip stain is great. Everything else on the site is pinker peaches and corals right now, so maybe Karen will find a new orange for spring (i love orange)

There are a few oranges still on the site, but they don't show up on the "All Lippies" page (i don't think) because they're all newer. Look at Hustle and Hubbub (especially hubbub) and Shutter is great for spring too.

Hustle is a great orange lippie!

What about Romp, Bewitched and Aubergine?

Thanks for the suggestions! I ordered the missing colours. :D
Any idea what colour lipstick would be close to the one she uses in the video on her lip and the blush on her face?

It may depend on your natural lip color, but Bustle looks similar to that on me-sort of a sheer coral red. I don't have Hustle, but it would probably be another good option for more of a statement lip. Hubbub is quite a bit lighter of a peach, but is also really pretty! Appeal blush looks great with Bustle and Hubbub, so I imagine it would work with Hustle too.

Mango is the most true orange I've tried, that doesn't lean red or coral.
Looks like it has been discontinued, but you can try swapping for it.

Imho Breathe would be also great as a lid color. The color used in the video is somehow "neony" and so is Breathe.
Current ratio, Sept. 13: 1 Ebony : 1 Buttery Gold : 15 All Purpose : 5 Ivory : 2 Yellow : 1 Liberty : 1 Beach Bunny
The mix is pale and does't look yellow

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I've tried it with Breathe and it works great!
