Dislike bright orange? Meet its earthy version that promises to look flattering on every tone. We have seen a host of celebrities work the burnt orange smokey eye in the past, making #SunsetEyes viral on social media. And backstage pros further lifted the celeb status of this hue by using earthy-orange lipsticks. The good thing about this colour is that it instantly adds warmth to the face, making you look sun-kissed.

If you thought red couldn’t get any hotter, you were wrong. While we spotted this hue in shades both bright and deep, burnt red stood out the most because it is so versatile. This colour doesn’t just make your pucker look good, it looks ah-mazing on eyes and cheeks, too. Work it to get smokey lids, or use it to create XXL scarlet wings. When opting for a bold mouth, use the same lipstick as a blush, to create a flushed effect.

We don’t usually associate pink with sexy, but this version can do wonders for your complexion. While burnt-rose lipsticks are a great way to pare down a heavy-eye look, it’s no longer playing the supporting act. Use this shade on both eyes and lips for a matchy-matchy vibe, or layer a darker and lighter pink blush to create a subtle contour effect. Bonus: this shade makes you look woke (and awake!), day or night.

The greatest part about this shade: there’s no one true nude. Which means you get to play with all its versions. You can either use the same hue on your eyes, lips, and cheeks for a ‘no make-up’ make-up look or create some dimension by using slightly varying shades in multiple finishes. Translation: use a matte-nude shadow on the lids, a shimmery highlighter all over for an ethereal glow, and lip gloss to finish up. Alternatively, opt for a bare face and load up on some shimmery bronzer to add warmth to your face....burnt neutral will never disappoint!
