fall 2013 trend alert - orange eyeshadow

so the title of this post is kind of scary. orange eyeshadow?! that just seems like a lot to me but i tested it out and i am beyond obsessed. this look was all over the runway at fashion week and it really is worth checking out.

i picked up this eyeshadow from MAC called rule and i have worn it almost every day since purchasing it. here are the different ways i have been wearing this:

1. as an all over lid color. this is the primary way this was worn on the runways but it is a little bit more of a daring look

2. in the crease with my normal everyday makeup. this color has expanded my everyday make up look into something much warmer and autumnal (i just love that word!) 

3. all over my lid with the eyeshadow MAC gleam on top. gleam is a shiny golden pink. the warmth of the burnt orange color mixed with the coolness from gleam leaves an awesome effect on your eyes.

4. in the crease with a smokey brown eye. similar to #2 this has provided a nice change to my normal brown smokey eye. 

i feel like i will discover more and more ways to play with this color throughout fall and winter and definitely recommend you picking up a burnt orange color to add to your eyeshadow collection. 

let me know in the comments if you would like to see a tutorial on any of these looks!
