Description

This is a fun, dramatic way to wear red eyeshadow. It reminded me as sort of a modern day geisha look.

Instructions

  1. Small image

    As always, apply a primer to your lids to keep your eyeshadow in place. Apply a deeply pigmented red eyeshadow all over your lid. I used a limited edition eyeshadow by Sugarpill called "@#$%"

    Blend out the red with a large fluffy brush.

  3. Small image3

    Apply a dramatic cat eye. I used Makeup Artist Network Ultimate Crème Liner in Blackness.

  4. Small image4

    Clean up any red eyeshadow fallout with concealer.

  5. Small image5

    Smudge the red eyeshadow on your bottom lid extending outward on the outer corner.

    Using a white eyeliner, fill in your waterline. Extend the white on the inner corner as well as following the wings on the outer corners.

    Finish off the look with mascara and false lashes.
