Instagram & Orange Makeup Look


I wanted to do a bright, orange makeup today since the weather has been incredibly beautiful in Seattle this week!  

When putting this look together, I pretty much followed Jen from From Head to Toe's tangerine look she recently posted on her YouTube channel.  I opted for a more pinky lip instead of the orange lip Jen uses.  Naturally, I used different products than she does.

Here is Jen's awesome tangerine makeup tutorial:



PRODUCTS I USED:
FACE
Neutrogena Healthy Skin Foundation -- Nude

Revlon PhotoReady Concealer -- Light Medium
L'oreal True Match Powder -- W4 Natural Beige
NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder -- Sunny
Peach Blush from a Sephora Pallet

EYES
Maybelline Color Tattoo -- Fierce & Tangy
Wet n Wild -- Flora pallet (matte orange shade)
Wet n Wild -- Vanity pallet (matte brown, bottom left shade)
Wet n Wild --  Greed pallet (light pinks, top left & middle right shades)
Milani Liguif'eye -- Black
Almay One Coat Get Up & Grow Mascara -- Blackest Black

LIPS
Wet n Wild Matte Lipstick -- 907C

I also started an Instagram profile, which I will use to post pictures of makeup looks, outfits of the day, and random beauty finds I find are interesting. :)

What's your opinion on orange makeup?  Also, what do you guys think of Instagram?  Love it?  Hate it?  Religiously use is?
