Huh? Orange under my eye?

[OohJeannie]

Hey all,

Yesterday I was at the MAC counter in Queens Center Mall, NY & decided to have one of the MA's try out something Ive seen here on Specktra... Wearing orange l/s under your eye to get rid of dark circles...

Wow lol I never thought this could happen..Ive had dark circles since I was a kid.

Here's sort of a before/after photo. Which eye do you think has the orange l/s (So Chaud)?

Its the right eye

I think it works. Just wanted to share that with you guys.

LMAO I was not serious about the l/s on my lips...my little bro looked at me like I was nuts!! Half 'Girl About Town' and half 'So Chaud'


Thanks for looking

Oh you should... The MA said this could look great or go terribly wrong lmao... So after you moisturize ur undereye area just dot on maybe two dots of the orange l/s and add a dot of undereye cream with it and blend. Then put ur regular concealer over.

WOW... i think the orange lipstick actually works... I wonder if it works for all skintones.

It works like a color wheel...use opposite colors to cancel out the bad. That's why green concealor is for redness, yellow for purple, and orange for blue. Since dark circles tend to be bluish, then that's why the orange works. Orange probably works well for darker skintones, but if you're really pale you'd be better off with an apricot/peach color.

BTW, I love your lips...so fun!

Hmm I would think so...it just has to be matte. The way the MA explained to me was all it does is counteract the blues in the undereye circles.

Thank you my fellow Jersey-ite...Jersey-an lol

[Graziella*K]

Wow is does make a difference !!! ^_^'

That's so cool because I sometimes have "blue circles" under my eyes and orange is the opposite of blue in the color weel !!!

I'd love to find it a concealor palette though ... not sure about the lipstick feel !

[smellyocheese]

looks great! I happen to have an oranged-based concealer so that's working well for me too.

 

[SoutherNtellect]

I'm sorry, I don't see the difference.

 

[astronaut]

Oh I see it! Our right your left correct? It looks really natural too!

 

[*Moni-Luv*]

What a great idea!!! Thanks for sharing!

 

[makeba]

oh snap!! i was hoping someone would try the orange lippie trick under the eyes. looks good and your pretty

 

[Chastity]

xsparkage on youtube did a tutorial on this not too long ago.

 

[mommymac]

What's the color name of the orange l/s you used. I ordered the orange lipmix from the website, it works great but it's liquid and can get a little overwhelming.

 

[elegant-one]

Wow, who would've thought and orange lippie - it looks great.

BTW - you have such a beautiful classy look
