Red eyeshadow: how to choose the right shade for each skin
Amaranth, cherry, carmine, vermilion, burgundy … The red declinations are innumerable, just as the facets of each shade are infinite, and there is no declination that fits and you perfectly enhance any type of complexion.
“For the success of the trick that focuses onred eyeshadow the tone of this color must be identified taking into account the skin tone.
Primary red (i.e. the purest version of this color and without pigments of other shades) is fine, for example, for medium skin tones.
The shades that tend towards orange and rust enhance very light skin, while those that turn purple they are ideal for darker complexions », specifies the expert.
The right red for every eye color
The choice can also be made in consideration of the eyes colour.
“Although the best option is the one that takes skin color into consideration, in principle for blue eyes i are indicated red to purplewhile for the green and brown eyes the red to orangei primary reds are mainly suited to Brown eyes“.
Red eyeshadow: at least three shades should be used
The variety of existing reds is very wide and the monochromatic effect should be avoided. «I always recommend using three different shades of red for create a make-up capable of giving depth and dimension to the look»Says Luigi Rizzello.
Once the color family they belong to has been identified, they are then chosen three shades of the same red: a dark one to blend on the edge of the eyelid near the roots of the lashes, one medium on the movable lid portion and the other clearer destined to crown the eye.
How to apply red eyeshadow
The application technique must be precise and does not admit inaccuracies. “When using red eyeshadow it is essential to proceed calmly, avoiding the smudges and inaccuracies that would stand out immediately ”, explains Luigi Rizzello. Therefore the three shades apply starting with the most intense one, then the middle one and ends with the more tenuous one.
At this point we move on to finishing. “Drawing a line around the edge of the eye with an eyeliner or a brown pencil and then blending it with the darker red eyeshadow shade, you get a smokey eye of great effect.
Alternatively, for a more elegant result, the same delineators are used to blend only the edge of the upper eyelid. If you choose red glitter eyeshadows, the ideal eyeliner and pencil are black ».
