Orange, tangerine, greens in refreshing limes and yellows are rocking it in the beauty world today

This season, go orange!

   Orange, tangerine, greens in refreshing limes and yellows are rocking it in the beauty world today. Citrus make-up is not only popular with young girls, but older women too have been experimenting with this bold new trend. The key is to wear bright colours and light textures according to your skin tone and age. Says make-up expert Amyn Manji, “When you choose citrus make-up, make sure that you highlight just one feature — for example your lips or eyes — and keep rest of it minimal.” 

EYES: Adding bursts of orange or green is an easy way to lighten your eyes to get that youthful look. Apply a bright or a subtle shade of orange on your lids. If you wish to go bold, gently smudge a contrasting colour like a coffee brown or an emerald green along your lower lash line. Complete the look by adding lots of mascara.

CHEEKS: Don’t restrict this tangy colour to your eyes and lips alone; apply it as a blush as well. Choose an orange-pink blush or an orange blush paired with a bronzer if you have a fair complexion and go neutral with your lips and eyes. While choosing one for your face, remember that coral or tangerine shades of orange will look good on those with a light skin tone, while those with a darker skin tone can opt for orange in shades of red, rust or earthy ones.

LIPS: Says Manji, “Most women prefer opting for orange lips. This is because it is easier to play with orange on your lips than any other feature.” You can either opt for a glossy orange or a matte one depending on the occasion and the look you want to achieve. Since the orange lip shade tends to make a strong statement and draw attention, keep the rest of your makeup minimal.
NAILS: If you are not up for citrus make-up, you can always wear it on your nails. It is a favourite hue these days. You can see models and celebrities at parties sporting tangerine nails.
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
    Kohl rimmed eyes or thinly etched eye liner is a great way to complement your citrus make-up.
    Instead of colouring your entire lip with a single shade of orange, you can probably include hints of fuchsia or green along with it.
    If you wish to make your tangerine lips look subtle, line lips with a nude pink lip liner.
