Foiled Metal Orange Lids in Gorgeous Biba Ad, 1970s
—
Metallic Burnt Orange Shadow and Rust-colored Liquid Liner look heart-stoppingly beautiful on fair girls with blue eyes.
Everything about this image, including the feather-collared top, is so incredibly arresting.
You CAN still recreate this look for everyday. Just ditch the wiggly liner, and use a really vibrant metallic orange/copper tone on the lids with black liquid liner.
For those with darker skins, Sleek’s Curacao i-Divine palette has a gorgeous rich coral-orange (top-left shade). For everyone else, Illamasqua’s Enrapture might be a good shade, if a little less red than in the image above. The main problem is this is a cream base and will slip/slide around.
The best option so far (it seems to me) if you are light-to-medium toned is TKB’s mica Aztec Gold or Copper Penny. But be warned that if you are very olive or yellow-toned, this can make you look a little sallow if you don’t balance it out with a pink-hued blush.
