I created this cozy cranberry look because I am just always drawn to that shadow color. If there’s a burgundy wine shade in a palette, a reddish chocolate brown, my eyes go to it like a laser beam. It helps that it contrasts beautifully with green or blue eyes, making them look even brighter. Ooh la la!

Tips for pulling off shadows with red tones

  • Start with a matte, warm brown transition color in the crease to create a soft fade
  • Add a pop of brightness at the inner corner and/or center of the lid to keep dimension on the lid
  • Conceal and brighten the undereye area really well. I apply concealer all the way up to the lower lash line to erase any red or purple tones in this area.
  • Black liner will help to create more contrast and keep the red tones a safe distance from the whites of your eyes.
