Bright Happy Neon Makeup Tutorial
I created a bright happy neon makeup tutorial with orange and hot pink from the Urban Decay Electric palette and the Kat Von D Shade + Light Eye Contour palette. I was trying to think of a way to use the warm shades from the KVD and realized that they would work well with orange, which would look nice together.

As you can probably tell from the pictures, the Urban Decay Neutral Brown pencil is really warm on me when I wear it. It does work for this look, but it’s not a color I would normally wear. However, I love the formula of both the pencil and the brow gel. It’s really nice and comfortable to wear.
I went really light with my blush and my lips, though my first instinct was to reach for some orange lipstick to go with this look. I feel like those lashes work really well with the eyeshadow. I keep practicing with lashes and I’m slowly getting better.
Anyway, I rarely wear orange so I hope you like how this turned out! While I’m definitely wanting to play more with the Electric Palette, I’ll probably skip Slowburn next time and do something with Gonzo.
The Kat Von D Palette was definitely the perfect choice for pairing with the Electric palette. I was really happy with how nicely the peachy shade Ludwin worked with Slowburn.
What colors would you pair together with these palettes?
I love the neon shadows with your hair colour!
Love the color combination; neons are actually easier to wear than people think, blending is key.
Bright colors can be so fun to work with. Loved how you worked this looked!
This look is super fun!
Slowburn is one of my faves. This look is gorgeous it makes your eyes scream!
I’m loving the pop of bright pink on the center of your lid! The gradation is amazing. You’ve got such great skills. 🙂
This is such a fun look! I love how bright it is – very YOU! 🙂
I would never reach for orange shadow, but I love this and am thinking I need to add a few more super brights to my stash.
I looooove this! I am going to have to recreate this sometime! <3
So pretty, def a shade/shades I will wear
This is so freaking gorgeous. I’ve used these two shades together, but I like how you blended out the orange much better than I did. The peachy lips are perfect, and make it a great, more conventionally “wearable,” summer look. Thanks so much for the tutorial!
I love bright pink and tangerine together. When I was little (in the 70s) I had a crocheted granny square dress in those shades and I wore it all the time. (Hey, it beat Harvest Gold, Avocado, and Burnt Orange).
I freakin’ love this! So much fierceness in your photos!
I really like this look! Pink and orange look so good together.
A great way to use color! I love the lashes too, practice definitely helps when it comes to application. I was TERRIBLE at it at first, but now I can’t get enough of falsies! I do prefer half lashes though, because they don’t poke my inner corners like some other lashes can lol
This is such a cool look! I could never pull it off though :/
Oooooooooh! TY for doing this ( I asked if you were going to when you reviewed them)… you look AMAZING! not sure I could carry it off….but it really suits you. x
I just love those shades together, so 1960s! And you can definitely rock it with your dark hair and pale skin. Love the look!
What a stunning and dramatic look! I have and LOVE LOVE LOVE UD Native! What a perfect choice for this super dramatic eye makeup!
