How to Wear Orange Makeup? | yohana

Kirsten Dunst
Not the people you may think. We recently tested all manner of bright orange nail polishes, shadows, blushes and lip colors. The surprise: The color works brilliantly on precisely the skin types that shouldn't make any sense. I refer to pale skin, the kind that often comes with pink or rosy undertones. Kirsten Dunst makes a mighty fine example.
Want product suggestions? Sure. Let's start with some of our favorite lip colors: Skone lipstick in Dawn, Mally high-shine liquid lipstick in Summer Peach and NYX Luscious Lip Gloss Palette in Sweet Oranges.
"Who knew orange would look good on me?" a fair-of-face tester told me of the first two products on that list. "Love it! Very fresh and modern, not outrageous." The NYX palette is also diverse enough to flatter pretty much any skin tone out there.
(If you're timid about orange, start light, with Boots No. 7 Lip Glace in Tangerine Twist, CoverGirl's Shine Blast in Fire or the sheerer-than-it-looks Besame Classic Lip Glaze in Red Berry.)
Moving on to nail polish, Mode's shade No. 111 and CND's polish in Guava and Tropic Coral got serious love from our testers—especially Tropic Coral, which was declared "super flattering for all skin tones." (If you want a super-confident disco orange, go with Nicole by OPI in Fresh Squeezed.)
This season's orange blushes will make your cheeks look positively juicy. We loved Cargo's blush in Laguna, Vapour's stick blush in Intrigue, and Jemma Kidd's interpretation in Pose—"a good all-purpose blush and lip stain," our reviewers declare. (For serious orange: Napoleon's Colour Disc in Orange No. 56.)
Finally: Eyes. Look no further than the NYX eye shadow Caribbean Collection palettes; you'll definitely find an array of oranges to love, particularly in the Aruba variety. "Even the yellow looked good on me, but the richer ones are great. Very saturated color. Would also be really good for ladies of color or rocking a solid tan."
See? Oranges are easier to wear than you think.

What's the Secret to Looking Terrific in Tulle? | yohana

Ashley Greene
Indeed, there can be such a thing as too much tulle. Ashley Greene flirted with that danger recently—as you can see—but in the end, she won. Why?
"She had tulle on the bottom. But she created a silhouette by using a belt and showed skin to ensure the skirt was not overpowering," explains Monica Barnett, president of image consultancy Blueprint for Style. "Tulle requires balance."
In other words, the best examples of tulle we're seeing right now aren’t too frilly or voluminous. They’re controlled—sometimes even a little militant or masculine. "Think volume on the bottom and shape for the rest," Barnett  explains. The perfect example of the 2010 tulle mix: a military-inspired tulle jacket.
To ensure you don’t get overwhelmed by your tulle look, make sure you belt your dress if you're petite—it's that silhouette thing, and there are lacy belts that will keep things femme—and dodge the flats unless you look like Kate Moss. Avoid prints, which will make the look appear way too busy. And keep accessories simple.
