I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush

So, apparently neon orange makeup is going to be big in spring/summer 2011.  I'm yet to buy an orange lipstick/gloss that I like, I'm not sure it would suit me, but I have found some eye makeup delights.

I knew before I'd even visited the Barry M counter in superdrug that I'd find some orangey goodness.  Bright is what they do best isn't it?

I got an orange kohl pencil and a 'tasty tropics' trio eyeshadow set which has an orange, blue and green colour in it.  I noticed on the website that they (do I refer to Barry M as they or him, as in Bazza?) do a lovely glossy orange lip pen thing - they didn't have any of those in the shop though. 

Anyway, we've been for a little wander around Redbrick Mill today to salivate over the latest Heals flock phones and spray ourselves with ridiculously expensive perfumes

I thought I'd try out my new kohl pencil.  I have no evidence to back up this claim, but I don't *think* I scared anyone so I'm chalking it up under 'successful makeup'.

 It's difficult to show eye makeup without looking down isn't it. 

What do you think, will you be rocking the orange look, or is it too scary?

I love orange lipstick.. Body Shop has a nice orange, which is more subtle for supermarket shopping style days

Yeah I love orange makeup too but I don't think it would suit all faces, especially not mine!

That orange kohl is fab! So bright :D
You should pop to Charles Fox in Covent garden and oogle their orange makeup. Dragalicious.

mmm not sure about orange...in any way as strangely I don't have anything in that colour...I never thought it could suit me. With regards to the make up I would even think to go there, but that's mainly because I've never tried that colour. Looks lovely on you though, full of colour

That orange is so great, I can't believe how punchy the color comes out! I just bought an orangey-red covergirl nature lipstick thing called anemone, I like it because it doesn't make me look like im sucking an orange ;)

The orange really suits you.
I have an amazing ysl orange lipstick with the matching gloss and I wore it loads about 2 years ago but then I thought I looked a bit 'La Roux' and a bit daft but I need to be bold and give it another go. I'm never brave enough to wear plum in winter either x
