Color Inspiration & Coordination: Gold

Last Color Inspiration & Coordination was focused on Pink. While searching through my jewelry trying to find my favorite earrings I came across another favorite pair. This weeks inspiration: my vintage gold Christian Dior earrings. I love these earrings and pulled them out of my collection and decided to coordinate them with a few of my favorite gold eye shadows.

You look gorgeous in the picture Diane. I am in love with those earrings, very dramatic and presence establishing for studs. I just finished a Roman history class and these awesome vintage earrings remind me of fancy coins. ^^ That MAC lippie goes perfectly with the gold look too. I should have picked Hibiscus up when I had the chance, doh.

Whoaaa i love this look! You look so pretty! The blush looks good on u.:)

Lakshmi said...

You look gorgeous as always! LOVE that highlighter on you, its the Le Blanc one right? I hope I can still get it after the presale ends on July 15th.. The lipstick is really pretty too!

You look great in gold theme makeup! i like your lashes, they look so dense.. is that becoz of the mascara you use?

the lipstick just suit the look very well too. normally i tend to use paler shade for lip when i use intense gold for eyes

I love your warm look even better than your cool ones!

@Kalmo, I love how they look like coins. I almost posted a picture of them upside down so everyone knew they were earrings and not coins. It's actually the first time I have used Hibiscus, I'm surprised how much I liked it.

@Eve, Thank you!

@Lakshmi, Yes it's the Le Blanc one, I think i'm in love with it. If you need it let me know, I'll get it for you before they sell out.

@sizbelle, thank you!! My lashes are pretty thick naturally but yes the mascara helps even more.

@Jamilla Camel, thank you! Yes, I agree I think I look better in warm colors too =)

I really love these color inspiration posts, so clever! On a side note, I want your hair! I love the cut, color, and the shine in it! I seriously could show this pic to my hair dresser and say "duplicate"! :)

I think gold is my favorite color on you! You look really gorgeous, love the look you did. I need your make up skills and lots of free stuff in my life!

Lakshmi said...

Hey Diane! Thanks so much for the offer, I'm going to try and get to a counter asap and swatch everything before deciding. I appreciate the offer anyway and might take you up on it!
Btw, I noticed your hair looks different, is it the Brazillian keratin treatment? I wish I could learn how to blow dry my hair from a pro like you.. :)

Diane (Orange2LA) said...

@Lilladylife, Thank you! I'm loving LMdB right now. I think my collection is getting a little out of hand. =P

@Hopelessly Devoted, I'm glad you like the color inspiration posts. =) and Thank you for the hair compliment!

@amynaree, I think gold might be the best on me right? LOL free stuff, hahah I'm staying out of that one!

@Lakshmi, Let me know how you like everything after you swatch it. Yes it's the Brazilian keratin treatment, I am in love with it. It has made my hair so shiny and most importantly- easy to deal with. I'm working on a review for it right now, should be up in the next week or 2. But if you have any question beforehand let me know!

Diane (Orange2LA) said...

@Anonymous, almost didn't see you there. =)

Thank you! Hibiscus is a really fun color.

I love your gold shadow collection! I think gold can be a versatile color for both the summer and the fall/winter. That Inglot color is super pretty though~!

OMG. I have the same earrings, LOL.
I used to work for Dior and these were presented to me for having great sales.

I also have a Vintage Dior Pin. Wow . They look great on you. I have never seen anyone with these earrings. LOL.:)

Diane (Orange2LA) said...

@Neicyk13, I received these earrings as a gift. I have never seen anyone with these either! The earrings are great. I never asked the background on the earrings. It's interesting to know that these earrings might have been only available to Dior employees at the time. Thanks for the comment. I'm drooling at the idea of your vintage Dior Pin. =)
