Tangerine Tango Eye Makeup

Orange is a fun and vibrant colour that is said to stimulate enthusiasm and creativity.  So when Pantone announced the colour of 2012 is Tangerine Tango, I was pumped to create a makeup look based around this colour.


And I really wanted to focus the orange on an eye look because orange looks so amazing on blue eyes, it really makes those baby blues pop!

And this is what I came up with:




Products Used:
EYES
MAC Painterly Paint Pot
MAC Rule
MAC Antiqued

MAC Rice Paper
