January 2011 Series: 19th
Orange & purple look.
Orange is a colour that I was too afraid to try before, but I was surprised to learn that orange actually suits my skin tone & I can wear it by toning it down. I recently paired orange with a brown for a fairly neutral look & in that look, I had applied the orange lightly (view that look here). This time, I chose to experiment with orange again, but in a brighter look so I ended up using purple with it. This time I didn't apply the orange lightly either.
Today I thought I'd just edit pictures (crop, watermark, etc. - not colour adjustments) instead of spending time narrowing my selection, so that you can see how lighting & the use of flash can make a huge difference.

I like how bold you are with your color combinations. I would never have thought of blending these two colors.
