Today's FOTD is inspired by a video I watched on YouTube the other day by one of my favourite makeup guru's: Tanya Burr. She's a professional makeup artist with a blog & YouTube channel. She does lots of amazing tutorials and makeup looks.
In her video Tanya did a "Colour Pop" look on how to wear MAC Cranberry eyeshadow. I don't own that particular eyeshadow but I do own MAC Coppering and a few other red/burgundy shades which are pretty similar. Red/Burgandy/Pink shades can be quite tricky to pull off but I feel that when you wear a neutral lid with a colour pop of red on the lower lashline plus good black eyeliner, it becomes very pretty and wearable.
I hope you enjoy my FOTD:

The popularity of red eyeshadow is definitely on the rise after it featured on many of the Autumn/Winter 2010 runways. Like these looks from the Cushnie et Ochs and Altuzarra A/W 2010 shows:
♥ Red eyeshadow tends to intensify any redness in your eyes so if your eyes are tired, save it for another time.
♥ Go heavy with eyeliner and mascara. This is a must to avoid a bruised/swollen look.
♥ Pick the right red. This is key in making the look work. Pale skin can pull off brighter reds while darker skin tones look best in deeper reds like burgundy and maroon.
♥ Pair it with another color. Throwing in a darker color like black, charcoal, brown and plum can make the look more wearable. Alternatively, adding a dash of shimmer in the inner corners also helps.
♥ The dye used to make red eyeshadows can potentially trigger off a bad reaction on certain people. Therefore please use with precaution, especially if you have sensitive skin

I love red and pink shadows. I always end up looking ill when I try them though. Maybe I will mix it up with the blue to give it a healthier look like yours.
