Okay so we all know I love anything vampy. I mean pretty much damn near anything. Brick and oxblood reds are truly my favorite colors on the planet besides black (which I will only stop wearing once someone invents something darker). This look I decided to feature because I actually wore it out the other night and received so many compliments. If you are intrigued by vampy looks when you see them in magazines but you are terrified of red tones, don't be! Today's look shows you how to turn vampy into totally wearable for a night out. As always, try to achieve this looks with products already in your collection. Enjoy!
the eyes:
-As per usual, prime your entire lid space with a eyeshadow primer. (Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer)
-Next, sweep a medium matte brown through the crease as the transition shade. This will help the other shadows blend more easily later on. (Lorac Unzipped Palette #Unconditional)
-With a flat shadow brush, pack a cranberry or brick red shade all over your lid. Then blend out the crease once more with no additional product on a fluffy blending brush. (Lorac Unzipped Palette #Unbridled)
-Highlight the brow bone as usual with a matte shadow a few shades lighter than your skin tone. (NYX Nude Matte Shadow #IHaveAHeadache)
-Create a winged liner with a black gel or liquid liner. (Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Liner #BlackestBlack)
-Next, line the water line with a brown waterproof liner. (Jordana 12hr Made to Last Liquid Eyeliner #Espresso Last)
-Using a flat definer brush, sweep the brick red shadow along the outer 2/3 of the lower lash line. (Lorac Unzipped Palette #Unbridled)
-I chose to apply very lite lashes with this look and blended them in with a lite coat of mascara on the top lashes only. (Ardell Naturalites #21 & Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara #Noir Midnight)
the lips:
-Make sure to first line your lips with a deep red liner to insure your lipstick will last girl! (Jordana Easyliner for Lips #PlushPlum)
-Then apply a beautiful brick red lipstick. (L'oreal Color Riche LeMatte #Matte-r-of Fact)
-Lastly, clean up any edges with a concealer brush and a tiny bit of concealer. (Revlon Colorstay Concealer #Fair)
