Test the trend: Red eyeshadow
So i'm all for trying new makeup looks and trends. Seeing people experiment with different colours and trends is something i've always loved but been too scared to do myself. The most adventurous colour you would see on me is a coral/orange lipstick in the summer. Having started my blog and being influenced by fellow makeup connoisseurs I have decided to step out of my comfort zone and try something new. Below I have tried and styled a red eyeshadow.
I struggled to find a nice affordable red shadow with a slight sparkle that wasn't in a huge palette. Eventually I found one at my local NYX counter and its called Showgirl. I primed my eye with the Benefit Stay Don't Stray eyeshadow primer and then built the shadow on with a Real Techniques Shadow Brush. I decided to keep this look quite simple and just added a wing liner, lashes and a nude pink lip so that the focus was just on the eye colour.
Since finding this NYX shadow I have to admit I am now a fan of red eyeshadow. I think this look can work for everyone although depending on your skin tone you might want a slightly lighter or deeper shade. My overriding opinion is that you shouldn't knock a trend until you try it because you never know you might like it.
I would highly recommend NYX eyeshadows they are really pigmented and don't have much fall out. I have linked all of the products used below as well as some other red eyeshadows you might like to try. I hope you like this post. Love you.
