Makeup Tutorial: Red Smoky Eye for Chinese New Year!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share with you a simple tutorial today. It's something I've never tried - a red smoky eye. It's probably not for everyone, and quite frankly, I'm not sure I would wear it for any occasion other than Chinese New Year (where red and gold are the dominant colours).

I tried to make it as subtle as possible, so it's more wearable. I hope you guys enjoy!

Start with a gold eyeshadow base. I am using JK Jemma Kidd I-Radience Crème Colour in 01 Silk.

Then, pat a red shimmery eyeshadow on the outer corners of your eyes. I am using the gorgeous Illamasqua Pure Pigment in Ore from the Theatre of the Nameless collection.

Using a pencil brush, pat a light gold eyeshadow onto the inner corners of your eyes. I am using a gold eyeshadow from the Sleek i-Divine Palette in Storm.

Then, I used a pinky eyeshadow colour from the Sleek i-Divine Palette in Circus to blend the red and gold eyeshadows together.

Then, to mute the red down a little, pat a brown eyeshadow on top of the red. Then, blend the edges out with a fluffy blending brush. I used Urban Decay eyeshadow in Darkhorse for this, with a Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush.

If you like it the way it is, then you can skip this step. I patted a little more of the Illamasqua Pure Pigment in Ore on top of the brown eyeshadow to intensify the red a little more.

I then blended it out again with a blending brush.

Apply the same gold eyeshadow you used on the inner corners of your eyes, onto your lashline using a small pencil brush. I am using the Boots No7 Smoky Eyeliner Brush.
