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

You Will Need (5 things)

  • 1 Mascara
  • 1 Concealer
  • 1 Black Gel Eye Liner
  • 1 White Eyeliner
  • 1 Red Eye Shadow

Steps (7 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

    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 "@#$%"

  2. 2

    Blend out the red with a large fluffy brush.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

    Clean up any red eyeshadow fallout with concealer.

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

    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.

  7. 7

    Finish off the look with mascara and false lashes.
