Swatch Monday - All over ORANGE!

Swatch Sunday? Swatch Monday! See what I did? Clever, right? *Ahem*...Oranges swatched today, I only just realised how stunning and complex a colour it really is. Some products looked pure orange in the jar, and turned out more pink, copper or bronze. I hardly ever see oranges used in FOTDs, it's a bit scary to work with since it's made up of two colours which often jar with skintones - red and yellow. But WOW - what a colour!

[[ Barry M orange gloss, Kryolan LC004 lip colour, Kryolan aqua colour, TANF 'Terracotta' blush ]]

What colours work with orange? Red, yellow, gold, cream. I'm also partial to a little blue.

My picks? I can't praise Hi-Fi 'Burn all the Empires' or 'Mind Manipulator' enough. 'Mind Manipulator' is an incredible, rich, hot orange shot through with glowing gold - I think you'd have to see it to truly appreciate how amazing it  is. I love the complexity of 'Burn all the Empires', not quite orange, not really pink, not exactly bronze...such a wonderful, versatile shade. The All Natural Face 'Terracotta' blush has become quite a staple for me, too! Fantastic for warm skin tones.

Are you intimidated by orange? Favourite orange products?
