FOTD - Smokey Burgundy & Peach Gold Eyes with Vampy Lips

Hey babes! Today I wanted to hop on and show you a look I wore a couple days ago. I've really been into smokey, sultry looks lately and this look is one of my fave go-to looks. For the eyes, I used some burgundy shadows in the crease and lower lash line, then added a gorgeous peach-gold pigment on the lids. I smoked the eyes out even more by blending some matte black shadow into the socket and lower lash line to add more drama. I have always loved doing red or burgundy smokey eyes, instead of always sticking to black and grey. I feel like dark maroon shades give you that fun pop of color, without being too crazy and in your face. Using a shimmery gold on the lids also pulls together and grounds the look a bit. My one big tip for wearing shadows with a red tint, is always use liner in the waterlines or lash line. I like to use a black or very dark brown liner, because it separates the whites of your eyes from the red shadow, which in turn keeps you from looking too tired or red eyed. Also, I always use Clear Eyes or some type of redness reducing eye drop because I have naturally very red irritated eyes. So since my eyes and lips are the focus of the look, I wanted my skin to be very understated and flawless. I used a full coverage foundation and a powder foundation to really create a flawless, perfected look. Then, I used a couple different shades of matte bronzer to warm up my complexion and contour my face. I didn't want to use any blush or a shimmery highlighter, so I applied my Josie Maran bronzer where I would normally apply blush. I also used a matte, light powder under my eyes and down the center of my face to create a subtle highlight. The dark, vampy lips are by far my favorite part of the look. There's just something sexy and mysterious, to me, about pairing a deep eye with deep lips and I love the burgundy shades together. I really loved this look, and while I know some people will think this look is too much, I really love the drama of it all. Also, if you're feeling like the idea of wearing a dark eye and lip is a little too daunting, just do one or the other. This eye look would be gorgeous with a nude or nude pink lip and with a wine lip you can pretty much do whatever you want on the lids. Anyways guys, I really hope ya'll like this look and don't forget to follow me on Instagram- talesofamakeupjunkie - for daily updates from me.
