Anyone here tried Orange Eye shadow?

[CandyKorns]

Just wondering? I'm not sure what eye-color orange shadow would go best with?
My eyes are hazel and I know copper/golds, dark purples, dark red or pink really bring out the green in hazel eyes but I'm not sure how orange would look?

Have any of you tried Orange Eye Shadow?

tone the orange down with a bit of bronze and never do the mistake of putting eyeliner with just orange or you'll wind up looking like a sorry excuse for a Halloween mascot. Anyways, it depends on the shade of orange you're using.

Don't ever use blatantly orange eye shadow. You'll look like Great-Aunt Judy kissed both of your eyelids with her hip 80's lipstick. I also think you should maybe mix it with some bronze, and line your eyes with brown.

I've done orange a few times but it was a kind of peachy orange and I used a fantastic blue eyeliner with it. I really liked the look but then I lost that eyeliner and I haven't been able to find a good replacement (it matched my eyes so well and that company discontinued the color *sadness*)

I've also got hazel-green eyes and orange shadow looked pretty good on me-as long as it's not matte!!! You need a little shimmer/sparkle so you don't look like Xombie posted previously.

I do love blue, it is such a happy color ^.^

Blue pencil lead would be fantastic

I really don't care for blue, but whatever floats your boat.
FANTASTIC!

I like purple.. dark purple.

I wear full blown orange frequently. Only when I'm wearing orange though.

I usually apply it thickly on my lid and then line the socket with smoky black eyeshadow and blend the two into each other. For eyeliner I use black eyeshadow but a very thin layer applied with a thin brush and then blended out a bit.

Orange is one of those color's Id never dream of wearing, until my friend gave me this really cool orange cyberdog tee a while ago.

My friend Alex is this wacky kid who looks like a scene kid, but isn't. she's worn orange eye shadow, blue eye shadow, purple eye shadow, light green eye shadow, brown eye shadow, yellow eye shadow...it looks to crazy.

Funny. I use an orange-ish brown shadow. I have hazel eyes as well, it actually looks quite good with that color and makes them look more green. What I do is I apply the eyeshadow, then line the bottom of my eye with a dark brown liner and the top with black. Then I finish with copious amounts of black mascara. I go past my eye with the top liner, but you know...that's optional.

In terms of looking a shade of orange, I do have a metallic copper eyeshadow that looks really good with my eyes I think. It also looks good with just black liner on the top lid, and white liner at the inner corner of the lower lid . I do sometime add a touch of bronze to the crease of the lid and outer corner to darken the look for evening if I'm going out.

I say wear it.

If you like the way it looks, wear it! If you hate it, don't.

If people tease you, just keep wearing it. Maybe it'll become a trend!

(unless they start throwing rotten oranges at you...that stuff smells)
