Just a hint of orange
Who says you can't use orange for a subtle look? Just lightly apply an orange eyeshadow on your eyelids and blend it out to make it seamless and relaxed. Wear it with your usual face makeup and maybe add a bit of lip gloss and you're good to go. (You can also wear orange accessories for a more cohesive style.)

Monochromatic look
Speaking of being cohesive, you can also use the orange hue for a monochromatic makeup look. Just use a muted version of this color for the eyeshadow and blend it into your cheekbones as your blush. This will give warmth on your face especially as the weather turns chilly.

Make it metallic
Orange can also be shiny without being too blinding. Use copper-toned eyeshadows and blend the metallic shade in the middle of your lids to get just the right shimmer. Use a neutral lipstick to tie the look together.

Include the lower lash line
If you want a simple eye makeup look with just a bit of drama, try a bright orange smoky eye (oxymoronic as it may sound). Heavily apply the same orange eyeshadow on your eyelids and lower lash line. Don't forget to blend the pigment so it won't look too harsh. Wearing mascara or falsies can add some extra oomph.
