Capricious but mesmerizing shade
If even some 5 years ago, scarlet was used to create images for photo shoots, carnivals and themed parties, now the public treats it more calmly. When choosing a scale, you should be extremely careful, one step in the wrong direction - and the indicator of a woman's style and sophistication will turn into obvious vulgarity and bad taste.
The first person who confidently stated that bright red eyeshadows and a pencil must be present in a cosmetic bag is Lucia Pica, the creative director of Chanel. For a long time, the rich scarlet make-up was limited only to the arrows on the upper eyelid. But the modern lady is allowed almost everything, and catchy colors are no exception.
Advice! At first glance, it may seem that red is monotonous and sometimes boring. However, it is versatile, because it fits any iris color. Its palette includes more than 30 items: from delicate reddish-orange to rich cherry and wine variations. Therefore, for each upcoming event, it is not difficult to find the right tone.
To figure out how to properly use bloody paints, let's turn to examples from the catwalk. So the Suno show showed a reddish-pink shade of creamy texture on both the upper and lower eyelids of the models. At the Kristina T beauty show, the choice of makeup artists fell on coral undertones with deep overflows. And the make-up artists who worked on the Laura Biagiotti show opted for a brick undertones, taking care of dense application to achieve an unimaginable depth of color.
Most of all, Jean Paul Gaultier stood out, whose eyes were covered with the purest scarlet, which glittered charmingly in the sun, like strokes of gouache. And lipstick in a single tone consonance with the eyes never once reminded of vulgarity. On the contrary, two equal accents skillfully complemented each other. Yes, this option is hardly suitable for everyday looks, but at a noisy party you will be able to surprise others.
For girls who are just starting to master the possibilities of a fire make-up, the following recommendations will be useful:
- do not limit yourself to one single shade, play of several colors will make the image deeper and more harmonious. Make sure that the borders between different halftones are carefully shaded. Unlike black, reddish is not suitable for graphic make-up... Our goal is to achieve a haze effect. You can distribute rich red chords not over the entire eyelid, but only at the outer corners;
- in combination with porcelain skin, bright red shadows will only emphasize its pallor. To avoid this, use blush and put additional emphasis on lips - it will balance the catchy look and refresh the image. If you are not afraid of bold decisions - paint your lips with lipstick of the same shade as the smears on the eyes;
- if you have a sleepless night or a particularly difficult working day, take a look at other color schemes, you should not additionally emphasize fatigue with reddish strokes.
Secrets of creating a make-up without the effect of sore eyes: preparatory actions in stages
As we said, with such a capricious tone, one wrong step is enough - and all the efforts will be wasted. That is why it is important to perform the following actions at the preparation stage:
- Concealer... Don't forget about this miracle cure. Remember, reddish pigment can highlight any, even the smallest bruises and redness on the skin. Here a concealer comes to the rescue, successfully masking imperfections of the skin;
- Intensity. Some beauties believe that a barely visible, translucent layer of shadows will make makeup concise and will save you from the possible manifestation of the effect of tear-stained eyes.

Do not be afraid of intensity, a rich make-up will complement a spectacular look;
- Correct distribution of pigments and thorough shading. Combine halftones, play with colors and tints. You can darken the outer corners with bronze, plum, or even deep black undertones. Do not forget that the boundaries of transitions need a perfect connection, this is the only way to create a charming image.

Use shades of helpers to highlight the contour of the eye, the outer and inner corners, and cover the central part with the main one. The main trend for evening events - the seductive smoky ice - will not do without such tint combinations.
Which tone should you choose?
Each eye shade has its own reddish undertone. Of course, if the girl did not get enough sleep or is sick, no competent selection will save here, people in any case will throw sympathetic glances. But if everything is in order, the color of the iris to some extent affects the choice of the scarlet palette.
For brown eyes
For brown-eyed beauties, burgundy overflows are best suited. Any experiments are allowed here: from subtle touches to deep smoky eyes... Play with color combinations, combine different techniques, enrich the created beauty with arrows.
The presence of a small shimmer in the shadows looks good; it will skillfully emphasize the golden glow of the eye. For a festive occasion, take a look at the warm burgundy and cherry tone. Thick brick arrows diluted with black strokes are suitable for courageous natures.With light skin, bright lipstick in a single color ensemble with arrows will help to balance the catchy make-up.

It is important not to extinguish the natural pure blueness, not to make the gaze dull and painful. In this case, it is important to have a subtle artistic flair, or rely on the professionalism of the makeup artist.
Pure reds, chocolate and greens are not the best choice for a cool blue glow. However, a subtle red pigment with a hint of orange motifs can help create a captivating look.
For the green
Emerald eyes can change their shade depending on clothing, mood, weather and many other factors. This color is in harmony with purple, burgundy, chocolate-golden, brown and red colors. The latter are best revealed in rich variations.
Green-eyed women have the right to try to recreate a marvelous make-up using four colors. In it, the brow space is painted in a light milky color with pearl reflections, a soft coral tone is applied to the upper eyelid, and a grayish blue to the lower eyelid. Along the edge between the eyelashes, it is worth walking with a black soft pencil.
