So basically, I am totally addicted to The Voice. It is amaziiiing and my Saturday night would not be complete without it! 
This weekend saw the first of the Live Shows and Jessie J looked super cool with her bright orange lip! I loved her make-up and so I thought I would share this tutorial. 

PRODUCTS I USED:

FACE
MAC Face and Body Foundation- C1

Kryolan Loose Translucent Powder- Colourless

MUA Mosaic Bronzer- Shade 1, Natural Glow

MUA Pearl Eyeshadow- Shade 1

EYES

Benefit Brow Zings- Medium

MUA Professional Eye Primer

Urban Decay Sustainable Pallette

MUA Pearl Eyeshadow- Shade 1

MAC Eye Kohl- Smoulder

MAC Fluidline- Blacktrack

Eylure Naturalites False Lashes- 101

LIPS

MUA Intense Colour Eye Pencil- Bright Orange

MAC Lipstick- Morange

HOW I CREATED THE LOOK:

EYES:

• Cover your whole eye area in MUA Eye primer, right up to the brow bone
• Neaten and fill your brows, I used Benefit Brow Zings in Medium.
• Using an oval brush, sweep Midnight Cowboy Rides Again over your lid and dab Half Baked over the top
• Using a blending brush, I used Louise Young’s LY38, and Twice Baked, blend the socket line and sweep outwards slightly for a winged effect
• Using MAC’s Smoulder eye kohl, pencil the lower lash line and blend with your finger
• With a small oval brush, dab Twice Baked across the lined area
• Take your MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack and line your upper lashes winging the outside edge
• Jessie always has beautiful long lashes so apply lots of mascara and your favourite falsies! I love Eylure’s Naturalites because they give lots of volume and drama whilst still looking natural.

FACE

• Cleanse, tone and moisturise the skin to make sure it is smooth and well prepped. I use Simple
• Apply your foundation using your fingers to give an even base, I used MAC Face and Body because I love the light coverage it gives
• Dust the face lightly with powder, Kryolan’s Translucent is the one I used
• Sweep MUA’s Pearl Eyeshadow in Shade 1 across the cheekbone and under the brow
• Jessie had a natural glow to her cheeks so I used MUA’s Mosaic Bronzer to give a subtle colour to skin. Sweep Shade 1 across the apples of the cheeks and along the cheek bone

LIPS

• Make sure your lips are nice and smooth with no dry skin ready for application
• Highlight the cupids bow using MUA Pearl eyeshadow in Shade 1
• Jessie loves a bold lip and she opted for orange this weekend so to make the lip colour last longer apply MUA Eye Pencil in Bright Orange
• Apply MAC’s Morange lipstick, the same colour Jessie wore on the show

Hope you like this look! Tune in to The Voice on Saturday at 7pm to see what make-up Jessie will be wearing this week!

This season’s super hot trend for summer has got to be orange lips.

Two of the UK’s biggest television shows, The Voice and Britain’s Got Talent, both sported their stars wearing an orange lip this weekend. Jessie J rocked a rich opaque orange lip where as Alesha Dixon opted for a more subtle orange gloss.

An orange lip is a great alternative to your classic red and gives a bright pop of colour, perfect for those summer days! You can be as extreme or as soft with this colour as you like, because it is so versatile.

GO BOLD LIKE JESSIE

 I used MAC’s Lipstick in Morange to create this bold lip, it is quick and easy and the lipstick is super creamy so it just glides on.

Another way to create a bold lip is to use an orange eyeliner. Below I used MUA’s Intense Colour Eye Liner in Bright Orange.

I then added MUA’s Lip Gloss tube in Shade 4 over the top. This lipgloss is a beautiful peachy gold so it is the perfect compliment to an orange lip!

There are lots of products available to give you the perfect Bold Orange Lip, here are some I recommend:

MAC Lipstick- Morange £13.50

MUA Intense Colour Eye Liner- Bright Orange £1

Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick- My Beautiful Rocket $15.99 (Approx £10)

OCC Lip Tar- BETA $14 (Approx £9)

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick- Siren $7.99 (Approx £5)

Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss- Temper £13 

KIKO Velvet Mat Lipstick- Bright Orange £6.90 

KIKO Shiny Lipstick- Bright Orange £4.50

GO SUBTLE LIKE ALESHA

Alesha Dixon looked great on Britain’s Got Talent and here is a tip for an easy way to get a subtle pop of colour. Using your favourite orange lippy (I used MAC’s Morange) dab the product in the centre of your lips, top and bottom. Now, using your finger blend the product across your whole lip to create the perfect soft colour! This technique is best with a really creamy product that blends well.

You can then add your favourite gloss over the top! I used MUA’s Lipgloss tube in Shade 4.

If you want your lip to be even more natural, try just using a tinted gloss.

Here are some lip products to give you the perfect subtle orange lip:

MUA Out There Lip Plumping Gloss- Sienna £2

Max Factor Max Effect Lip Gloss- Orange Smack £4.99

Loreal Paris Glam Shine Fresh- Aqua Mandarin £7.69

MAC Tinted Lipglass- Morange £13

MAC Cook Mac Tendertone Lip Balm (Limited Edition)- Purring £13 

Collection 2000 Pure Gloss- Dolly Mixture £1.99

Collection 2000 Lasting Colour Lipstick- Mango Tango £2.99

Models Own Lipgloss- Tangerine £5

Models Own Lip Balm- Tangerine £5

With just one lipstick and gloss its so easy to create lots of different looks because there are so many different combinations to try out. I am loving my orange lip this season and I think you should all try it out!
