Tutorial: Blue+Orange

Hi everyone!

Here’s a tutorial for a look that was inspired by the picture here on the right – blue and orange oranges! I love this pic and I stumbled upon it and thought it looks wicked!

Blue and orange are complementary colors, which means they go together perfectly!

If you want to know about color theory, there’s info on Wikipedia, but I’m including a pic of the color wheel for you as well:

So all colors that are opposite each other go together really well:

  • Yellow – Violet
  • Green – Red
  • Orange – Blue

 Here’s some pictures of the looks that I created after I saw the image:

Products used:

  • Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation – Fresco
  • ELF HD Powder
  • Benefit Bronzer – Dallas
  • Benefit Blush – Dandelion
  • Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes -21L
  • Yaby Eye Shadow – ES473
  • MAC Pigment – Naval Blue
  • NYX Eye Shadow – Africa
  • MAC Pigment – Black Black
  • Revlon ColorStay Liquid Eye Liner – Black
  • MaxFactor False Lash Effect Mascara – Black
  • Illamasqua Lipstick – Diablo

Tools used:

  • Sigma Brushes
  • Crown Brushes
  • ELF Brushes
  • Koji Curving Eye Lash Curler

    Hope you liked this look! Let me know if you’d recreate it?
    Much love,
