HAPPIEST SHADE,

f I say orange, chances are you’ll visualise the fruit.
Or perhaps there’s an Aperol spritz in your mind’s eye,
or an Hermès gift box? Students of Ayurveda will know
that orange is the colour of the second chakra, or energy
wheel, and associated with joy, creativity and compassion- lovely, positive things. But if I said ‘orange make-up’,
you would be forgiven for hesitating. Too harsh, too 1970s
(but not in a good way), too much?
However, consider orange in its infinite varieties: apricot,
tangerine, copper, terracotta, coral, persimmon and rust, just for starters,
with myriad shades in between. Factor in the textures that modern
make-up brands gift us – glosses, sheer washes, metallics, mattes, dews - and suddenly orange has possibilities. ‘It’s a colour that complements
any skin tone and any eye colour, but looks especially good when you’re
sun-kissed,’ says Neil Young, Givenchy UK beauty ambassador. ‘Making
it modern is about texture and placement and playing with intensities and
volume. However you choose to make a colour statement, I recommend
that it reads as 60% of your make-up, with the other 40% pared down.
So, if you wear a bright orange lip, for example, that’s your 60% and the
other 40% of your make-up could be a little bronzer and mascara.’
Balance is key, yet orange is also about having fun, says make-up artist
Anita Keeling, who created the looks on these pages. It’s more unexpected
than summer’s stalwart pinks, but it’s equally as wearable. Here’s how...

For a pretty ‘caught by the sun’ glow,
first reach for an apricot-toned
illuminator, says Young (I like
Bourjois serum-textured Healthy Mix
Glow Primer in Vitamined Apricot,
£9.99), and apply over the cheeks.
Thanks to its light-reflective particles,
this will give the skin some
architecture and lend a more radiantphotography
