So I reached out to beauty blogger/freelance makeup artist Jolly Moly for some help. We both agree that radiant orchid flatters both mestiza and morena. The secret, according to her, is to veer away from combining the fuschia, purple and pink undertones in one look. Instead, choose which undertone to use and decide on your focal point (whether eyes or lips).
See? Radiant orchid on mestiza and morena!
Let us show you how to do the day-to-night look using radiant orchid in these easy steps:
Day Makeup
1.) Apply eye shadow primer to your eyelids up to the brow bone.
2.) Apply the lightest purple eye shadow all over the eyelids.
3.) Apply the darker purple eye shadow on your crease and make little strokes in the outer V of the eyes.
4.) Apply white eyeliner to brighten the eyes.
5.) Use the darkest purple eye shadow to line your lower lash line.
6.) Apply eyeliner to the upper lash line.
7.) Curl your eyelashes.
8.) Apply several coats of mascara. Make sure to do it while the first coats are still wet, otherwise it will result in clumps.
Night Makeup
9.) Add black eye shadow to the outer V carefully in outlining the crease.
10.) Mix it with a clean blending brush.
