  • First, you are absolutely gorgeous. Your "looks" are so versatile! And second, you are bloody brilliant. I am new to wearing make up (sad, I know) but have been fascinated with all of the great tutorials and tips. I would never have thought to use eyeshadow. Lots of thanks for your great expertise!

  • Can anyone please let me know if there is a nice orange blush besides NYX cinnamon that would show up nicely on brown skin but is completely matte or sheer?

  • this is exactly what i was looking for!

  • I bought the Nars Taj Mahal & it's gorgeous! I only wear makeup maybe 5x's a month so it'll last 4ever!

  • I bought sunset because of this video-gorgeous. Who knew orange could look so good on brown skin?! I bought it when she first posted this! So glad I did!! It looks so good and natural!

  • oh yeah also I am so against spending UNNECESSARY MONEY ON MAKE UP.. #BEAUTY AND AFFORDABLE WITH IT LOL

  • I agree I love orange blush. I actually one day said to myself, "why not try an orange eyeshadow as a blush on my cheek and it look fab" while I was doing a look on myself. I was using a custom palette from Coastal Scents at the time and since then I fell in love. I also bought the orange single blush from NYX loooove it! lol It looks fabulous on women of color I personally dont care for the pink blushes, when I wear pink blushes I always mix in a bronzer or another shade of blush to get my look

  • Just came across u i had to sub love the way you keep it real and thanks for the tips never knew orange could work

  • i use orange blush today for the first time after watching your video and i was actually shocked, i cant believe that i was using pink blush all this time. it had a nice glow and looked fantastic. i am a colored woman. thanks for the video and keep them coming as i will be watching.

  • I have been looking for orange blush alternatives because I REFUSE to pay $26 for blush as well. Thanks!

  • you are SO beautiful. ty this video helped alottttt

  • i know this is an old vid. but ive watched three times trying to figure how you have your hair cut. i LOVE what i can see do you have pics of the back?

  • Your makeup is always on point I love it! Of course I subbed lovely channel!!!

  • very pretty in i am cheap too child boo

  • Yep. Orange is a wonderful color on darker skin tones. The barbie pinks just weren't satisfying enough for me. I wish I would have seen this video b4 purchasing my expensive NARS. Lol. But it's ok. Now I know I have other alternatives when I run out.

  • i love this look, including the hair

  • U are a bargainbarbie hunichile & I love it !! keep em comin'!!!

  • Very nice, and detailed video. Very informative because as darker skinned women it can be more difficult to find colors that compliment brown skin other than the barbie pinks! Btw, I LOOOOVE your eyeshadow, is that the same look from your cali blues video?

  • hi there , what is the blue eyeshadow you are wearing? thanks

  • hi, where would i et the pigment? what are they enerally used 4? tnx.

  • I love this video!!! But like someone else I only saw sunset ray on the website. Is this the same one?? Thanks so much.

  • I just kinda stumbled on your video and i must say i am so happy i did..i never ever thought about orange blush and i love your makeup, period. It is just so wonderful to find a youtube vlogger the same skin tone as me that loves color. I LOVE IT!!! Keep it up ma'am KUDOS!

  • hi, gotta say that I love all your vids, I'm looking for the NYX eyeshadow that you mentioned in your video, but I only see Sunset Ray, is it the one and the same? Thanks. (anyone can answer.....)

  • Great video! Shades of orange is one of favorite colors for makeup ...particularly for women of color. It just makes our skin look amazing! I like it on the lip as well as on the cheeks. I like using that type of stipling brush for cream and powder products...blends AMAZINGLY!

    Thanks for sharing & keep up the great work!

  • You are so pretty..I love your videos!

  • thanks for this video... YOU ARE SUPER BEAUTIFUL..

  • I'm not a woman of color, but I love orange blush (though I don't have any). I'm trying to get ahold of some. I think it looks very lovely and high end. I'm sick of the drugstores just stocking pink blushes. They need to take a page out of MAC and NARS and get some taupes and oranges in there!

  • Love this vid!!!!! Will def try the orange blush...can u do a tutorial on orange lips for brown skin women?

  • whats da name of da blush brush again u got from target becuz i have been looking for a brush like that i dont wanna spend money by going 2 MAC...lol...i wanna weigh my option & pay a decent price....its calledbeauty on a budget....lmbo...im into corals peachy orange colors too...i was wondering did NYX have a similar color 2 NARS

  • You can also use MAC's eyeshadow Rule as a beautiful orange blush. Brush a little Gold Deposit on as a highlighter and you have a sumptuous look on NW45ish skin. I also like to add a bit of color to the temples of my forehead and kiss the chin with what's left on my brush. If you haven't tried it - like she said - orange is gorgeous on on brown skin! Thanks for the great NYX tips. Will be trying those soon - keep the vids coming girl. I am now a subbie!

  • @pinksugarfluff damn that sounds like a beautiful combination! and i have NW45/NC50-ish skin....such a plus! LOVE it!

  • I have nyx sunset eyeshadow, and it is gorgeous as a blush. I'm darker than she is, and it is stunning on WOC. GET IT!

  • @onemin1986 you're so ignorant and immature. How old are you? You probably look like a clown and you shouldn't be wearing makeup anyway.

    I trust she knows what he's talking about have you seen the rest of her tutorials?

  • Thanks for sharing. I never thought about wearing orange blush but I will now.

  • Thanks for the video!

  • I love orange blush its so nice. You should also try Black Radiance Blushes in Soft Honey and Artisan Color Baked blush in Toasted Almond they are soooo pigmented and affordable. I have to use a duo fiber stippling brush for these blushes because of the pigmentation.

  • I have never thought of getting orange bkush, but now im getting some! thanks hun! =D

  • Woops (iPhone predictions) * I meant to say, thank u soo much for making this vid. ScandlousBeauty raves onabout Taj Mahal in her videos, and it really is a beautiful pigmented blush. BUT like u, I ain't about to pay £25 for a blush :-/ sorry, I'm a student food is more important than NARS. Anyway, I will definately be ordering these alternatives online! Yayyy thank u ma'am!!!

  • Thank u zoo

  • LOVE IT ! thankyou so much, you tell it like I would say it !

    I 've been searching for an orange blush but it's really hard to find here in Belgium...

    thannks so much for the tips !

  • In my martin voice.."you go girl".!

  • Girl you look BEAUTIFUL!! It's nice to see a woman of color with the PROPER colors on her face. BTW Nice hair.

  • Thank you for this helpful tip! Your beautiful!

  • NYX has a cream blush in Orange

  • you look really diff.

  • I know this video is old.. but do you have a tutorial on you eyes.. I love ur eye make-up, its so pretty, if not will you do one?

  • So glad I stumbled on your vid, I ADORE orange blush as well and I have chocolate brown skin but it looks fabulous! For those interested in an inexpensive yet awesome orange shade try Vera Moore in Cinnamon. I found mine in a DR in NYC and paid about $15. Spice is also a nice shade but I digress, nice vid and you have a new sub :)

  • I love my pinks but I will try the orange cause it look soooooo GOOD on your skin. WOW!!!

  • you can get Lafemme blushes $3 at makeup mania highly pigmented similar to Nars only waaaay cheaper I heard about if from Gossmakeup here on youtube

  • i use mac red brick eyeshadow as a blush its super pretty and i plan to buy the nyx

  • i have medium-tan skin similar to alicia keys. i love peachy shades would orange be too harsh on my skin?

  • I couldn't take my eyes off you, I love your look on this video, the colours suit you really well and the hair and you sweet voice :) What top are you wearing here, I love it. Thanks so much for these cheaper alternatives! I have olive skin and I much prefer the look of orange/peach blushes too, I love Eva Medes' look.

    ¡¡Un beso!!

  • Great video exactly what I've been looking for, I've been looking for an orange blush to try out. Nyx has free shipping til friday too! thanks.

  • what song is that in the background?

  • LOVE THIS

  • Girl. You are doing it right now! I'm a gay man and at the risk of sounding like a creep or something, I'm all about it. You are just too beautiful. Your skin color is so radiant and your personality is magnificent. Thank you for the tutorial. I'll definitely be applying it!!

  • where can I purchase the same blush and lip gloss as the ones you have from your video?

  • Thanks for all your little secrets. What do you have on your lips and what type of foundation do you use? I have NW45 from MAC and I absolutely HATE it! Please help...

  • @KNLJCF0 I know I am not her , but I am also a NW45 from mac and I hated it too. It never seemed to completely match me . I prefer Bobbi Brown Skin foundation in chestnut . Its more expensive , but it is a better match for me .

  • LOVE the video, gorgeous! I adore NYX cosmetics too..thanks so much for the Sunset and Africa tip..I need to pick them up and have them in my train case for my make up artistry jobs! :) You look so elegant here, but then you do in all your videos. Love the blue eyeshadow and the peacock feathers in your hair!! Sophisticated ELEGANCE!!!!!

    xoxoxo

    - Jess

  • i love this ... u r crazy i love all of the crazy faces u make

  • i just bought the cinnamon blush because of you! loves it!!!

  • i like orange!!!!!!

  • Hi Ebony, it's Eboni. I was surprised to see that you're using shadow on the cheeks. Please try to shadows as a lipstick. (1) lip smoother (2)line lips if you choose. (3) blot lips with shadow using an angle blush. (4) dab with clear gloss. FABULOUS! YOUR PLETHORA OF SHADOWS NOW BECOME LIPSTICKS YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU HAD!

  • Lol. Stab the eyeshadow.

  • Girl, I can tell orange blush makes you HAPPY! LOL. It looks really good on you!

  • I am Puertorican and maybe just a bit lighter than you and I have always loved orange blush as well. I found blaze eyeshadow from bareminerals to look great on my skin tone.

  • Have you tried Nyx Orange or Mac Optimistic Orange cream blushes? If so how do you like orange as cream blushes?

  • Ebony, I am so thankful for all of your videos and especially this in particular! I ordered the Sunset and the Africa and tried them both and I LOOOOOOOOOVED them both! You really saved me a lot of money and to be able to stretch that dollar (Lol) Keep those videos comin. BLESS YOU!

  • orange looks so lovely on you! I'm jealous, I have like Snow White skin so orange is a big no no for me but on you it looks great! love your vids!

  • i been looking for a video like this!!:) you think orange blush goes good with my skin color? by the way i subbed!!

  • @colouredbeautiful...I ♥ your videos... I tried Sunset & Africa on my dark brown skin and I am in ♥...I was unsure but I got so so many compliments...it suits me...thanks for the suggestions about orange blush...I had no idea dark skinned girls like me could pull it off...I can't wait to watch the rest of your videos!!!!

  • finally someone who appreciates orange blush as much as I do and alternative to the super expensive nars.  Thank you for this video...

  • just love your style

  • I'd like to see a tutorial for this look you're rocking! Please & thank you! ;)

  • Hey Ebony. I wanted to try this look so I bought Sunset on Ebay. However, when I received it, the color is actually called Sunset Ray 85A. This is also the color on the NYX website (it appears that regular Sunset is not on the website anymore). Can you take a look and tell me if you think it's the same before I return this?

  • pretty!

  • Can you wear orange blush on an everyday basis? im assuming its a peachy glow?

  • beautiful

  • I have a question can this be worn on skin that is a little bit darker than yours?

  • great video!!

  • this is a beautiful look!

  • I love, love LOVE this video!!! Thanks for the tips because I was SOOOO able to spend that $26 PLUS shipping!

  • the "Red Iron Oxide - 170 shade" from coastal scents is soooo beautiful.

    It's a lovely deep orange that I got yesterday and it shows up really well on my skin (med. brown)

    but anyway- thanks for the review! :)

  • Loving this Look...Eyes, Hair and Peacock Feather HeadBand. One of my favorite looks on you....like ever!

  • Love the look, never worn blush, but if it looks that good im willing to try. What foundation are you wearing. You look fresh for spring. U GO Girl

  • I really have to thank you.. I used to use peach blush and I really did like it.. But I say this video.. I don't have NYX but i'm thinking of buying it.. But in the mean while I'm using Jordana single e/s in Desert spice.. and OMG.. I love love it..

    thank you..

  • MAC has two really orange eyeshadows - "Red Brick" (Orange Red) and "Orange" (Neon Orange). Both are 14.50. The "Morange" lipstick is also really orange.

  • I was never a "blush wearer" but after looking at your video I'm going to try the oranges that you've mentioned from NYX's website. Thank you my sistah!

  • where can I purchase NYX products. I see a few scattered aroung some beauty supply stores, but is there anywhere else?

  • @michy968 Try Ulta. It's a whole section dedicated to NYX.

  • I always wear ambering rose as a blush, but i bought MAC optomistic orange creamblush from the lily pulitzer line a while back but i still haven't used it. I hope it gives me A NICE look. idk, but i am going to buy taj mahal tommorrow i guess. thanks :)

  • Great video. I'm gonna try orange blush for the first time because of this video. It looks so good on you I just have to try it. I will also be buying the skunk brush for Target. I love your look for less approach that's why I started my channel. I don't have to wear Mac and Nars to be fly. I bet I'll make you think it was Mac. I'm the queen of the fakeout. :0)

  • You're make up is FLAWLESS! Thanks for the tips..I'm a chocolate complexion myself but Im kind of new to makeup and was iffy about orange. I'm glad I came across your video because Im going to order these colors! Thank you so much! God Bless.

  • thanks for this vid...will def try the nyx eyeshadows for alternatives...u are so talented

  • Oh I forgot! I read in Specktra that NYX Golden Orange eyeshadow was a great dupe for Taj Mahal. I don't own TM, but the Golden Orange looks GORGEOUS as a blush! Also NYX Cream Blush in Orange looks amazing.

  • I LOVE orange blushes.I totally get what you say. I surf the net looking for dupes of MAC and NARS. BUT, sometimes I spend more buying dupes that end up not working instead of just spending the $. The truth is that many high end blushes are so pigmented that you end up using very little product and they last for a long, long time. I buy dupes for eyeshadows and lipsticks, but for a blush that I know will last I'm willing to spend some cash (or wait until birthday/valentines/christmas)

  • @ile24

    agreed. I would complain about Nars blushes being expensive if not for the fact that I know they'd last for a VERY long time. All I need is one swipe for my Taj Mahal and that's it. That pigmented.

    No one buys Nars blush for the "tab called Nars"..they buy it cos it's pigmented and will last a long time.

    It's that simple.

  • I just purchased optimistic orange from MAC and didn't realize I could get that same effect from my sunset eye shadow....now I know. Thanks so much for the options.

  • youre so fierce, such a delight to watch ya. ima light skin girl but i def wanna try that orange since its one of my fav colours. thx for the advise!

  • You will be brilliant as a fashion designer because you have a great eye for colour.

  • I totally agree with everything you said. It is not about the name but rather about what makes the looks works and what suits you.. You sound just like me. lol. Orange is a beautiful colour, especially as a blush and highlighter on dark skin. You are brilliant, and you obviously have an eye for colour and know how to use them. A big thumbs up to you. Keep up the good work.

  • I love love love your videos!! and I love that blue your wearing in this video!! is that in your palatte??

  • I like you because you are soooo right!! Y spend ALOT of money of "brand" cosmetics when you can get the alternative!! I like that...you saving us money and keeping us looking good!! Kudos to you DIVA!! Thanks!

    ps: i need your palette...like ASAP...very anxious!! lol

  • I had a palette with orange blush and I loved it. Used it every day. When it ran out I was so sad. Thanks for this video, now I know where I can get a new Orange Blush!

  • can u please do a tut for this look.... its absolutely gorgeous!

  • Great video! I have been a fan of Orange Blushes from the first time I tried IMAN' Face Palette in 'Suede', unfortunately I think it has been discontinued : ( However ladies may want to check out an alternative orange blush from a UK brand 'Sleek MakeUp' in a shade called 'Sahara' I love it! They use to have a brighter shade called 'Rust' but since they rebranded I haven't seen that around.

  • @GoldCoastBeauty Sahara is great, just got it yesterday :)

  • Where do you buy Splash cosmetics? They can be hard to find.

  • omg! I luv that color but, I cannot use blush because I have acne scars on both of my cheeks. Mac makeup artist said I should avoid blushes :(

  • Hey gurly!!! Just checking out ur vid!!! I wanted to kno does the nyx shadows last long on the cheeks???

  • Thankyou sooo much for letting women of colour know we can do orange blush i think it's fierce!.....i have what you would call "chocolate skin" so thanks for letting us know we can do orange blush too! luv ya!

  • pimk dont show on me and im 50% wihte& im 50% brazilian and gold and copper and orange only show up on me. im not super into pink. it doesnt even bring color to my face nor fits my character. do you know wat i should use?

  • After watching your video on orange blush, I purchased your pumpkin and currupt red eye shadows. I used them a blush (not at the same time) and was very surprise and happy. Girl you are the best. God Bless you and your gift.

  • yes do the blue eyes tutorial puleeeeeeaze!

  • dang! && ii just threw my sunset away yesterday. :/

  • LOVE this video, I love love orange blush. I just have to say you are absolutely stunning!

  • Another hit. You make being beautifully groomed seem simple.Your instructions are easy to follow. But be aware that you start with a beautiful, natural palette.

  • I went and got Mac Devil blush which is a bright orange! I can't find NYX any where in my city but I love the Devil blush! THanks for the vid!

  • one more thing, im a college student and have to do my own hair til i go home so ur videos really come in handy. can u also give a suggestion of products? what do u do about ur nape area? do u shape it up or have it done for u?

  • you are so beautiful and informative. i have learned so much from you. can you please do so more videos on how to style short hair?(i did the style from ur first styling video and got sooo many complements!) LASTLY (lol) and my reason for commenting, can you teach us ladies with shorter hair how to rock hair accessories? u do it so well and look amazing. (btw i kinda agree with u about the pink. every skin tone has its shade. color is limitless)

  • Orange is my favorite color!

  • At the risk of sound like a stalker(and I am so not ). I just wanted to say that you are such a positive being. Its a joy to watch your videos. They are informative and reasonable. Your work is great and your a beautiful person. It was a welcomed surprise to come across your page. Continue to be blessed.

  • @GLOSSARY18 Wow! Thank you sis...I appreciate the positivity and love. Blessings to you!

  • Thanks so much for this vid. Question - What blush would you use with pink shadows?

  • I ordered Cinnamon from Cherry Culture and OMG i love it! thanks for recommending it. I love the way the orange looks on my brown skin. I always skipped applying blush because i felt that pink just didn't look natural on our skin. I bought Terra Cotta, Copper, and Cinnamon and I really like them

  • Wow! That blue is amazing.

  • Girl the ELF Contour and blush duo for $3 is the BOMB!!! I am ADDICTED to the orange blush and brown contour color in it. I haven't found another blush that even comes close. It just works wonders for me.

  • Hunz you are gorgeous :)...I'm going to look into using orange blush..I think it gives more of a natural glow on brown skin....

  • Thanks for the heads up. I've been using up the orange in my Coastal Scents Palette because I use it as both shadow AND blush! I'll hit the NYX counter tomorrow.

  • Beautiful...never thought to use orange. I will try it

    Thanks

  • dont know why i never thought of orange!

  • the blue is bangin

  • Thanks for the guide. I'll try the sunset. Can u do the eye look? It's very Gorgeous!

  • Gurl u love your Oranges like I love my Purples hunee! Amazing dupes and suggestions...gr8 vid sis!

    ♫ kokofemme ♫

  • off topic but i love the headband... I have short hair too and i didnt really think adding pieces to my hair would be ok. So being that you look so cute with the feather i think im going to experiment a little. Thanx...

  • Do you like the NYX hot orange? I ordered it online because the color was so vibrant. But when I got it home it wasn't so vibrant on....just alot of glitter. I was a litte disappointed but I still play around with it.

  • I totally agree with you. I like the sunset, bronze, orange colors on me. Btw love your hair. You must do tut vid on that do.

  • this is a good idea, as an eyeshadow the Africa has a bit of fall out that irritates my eyes due to all of the shimmer, but PERFECT as a blush option! Thanks for sharing.

  • you are so beautiful!

  • i would love to see this tutorial! it is stunning!

  • girl, I love you!!!! Thank you so much for doin' you! =)

  • After your Favorite Nyx video, I rushed and ordered several of your suggested products including Africa. I exclusively use it as a blush. As far as the "pink craze"..I thought it was just me. Pinks are nice but I like the copper/orange look as well. I also noticed that Scandalous Beauty mentioned organge blush for brown skin in a recent video of hers. Keep up the great videos!

  • i got to add that to my makeup box thanks

  • Thanks for the advise for Nars alternative. Their blushes are lovely but much too pricey. I ordered the N.Y.X. eyeshadow in "Africa" and it does work nice as a blush and then I highlite with a brighter bronzey orange and it's just beautiful.

  • This was a great guide... wish I would have seen it sooner. I just took the pluge for my birthday and purchased the TajMahal blush and it is pretty, but I already own the two NYX and you are on point with the dupe.
