According to the financing appKlarna,购买红eyeshadows have skyrocketed with an increase of 1,514 percent over the past six months. Not sure you can pull off the hue? We assure you, you absolutely can, but we’ll do you one better. We’ve compiled six head-turning red eyeshadow looks to try in 2023, complete with product recommendations and application tips ahead.

Blue Eyeshadow Is Spring’s Latest Cool-Girl Shade


1.光环效应

Don’t be fooled by its ethereal name; the Halo Effect isn’t for the faint of heart. To get Emma Chamberlin’s sultry look, opt for softer red eyeshadows with pink undertones. Using ablending brush, sweep the color back-and-forth across your lids and lightly dust the inner corners of your eyes with any remaining shadow. Focus on creating an ombré look, placing the lightest color on the center of your lids and gradually deepening the saturation under the brow bones and along the lower lash lines for that glowing ‘halo’ effect. Complete the overall look with a shiny gloss in a similar shade.

2. Dusty Rose

Lizzo’s secret to her stunning Dolce & Gabbana floral, red carpet moment at theGrammy Awards? Charlotte Tilbury’s beloved “Pillow Talk” blush, which just launched in a matte finish. To get her monochromatic glow, dab the wand liberally onto your cheeks, temples and lids and blend the color together, creating the shape of a (you guessed it) flower petal. Trust us, the rosy accent will give you the prettiest pop in photos and in real life.

3. Blood Orange Accents

Looking for a smokey red eyeshadow look that gives the burning heart emoji a run for its money? You’ve come to the right place. For starters, we recommend using reddish orange shadows. Think: Fire flames or blood orange red here. Next, pack the pigment onto the eyelids, and with a light hand, blend any leftover color upwards and outwards for a lifted look. And remember, less is more when it comes to dressing up the eyes. Forgo the eyeliner and bottom lash mascara to let the fiery shadows shine.

4. Floating Liner

It’s time to level-up our cat eye and have some fun painting outside the lines. To get this head-turning style, take a red eyeliner pen or use a pigmented red eyeshadow and afine-tipped brushto draw a crisp line halfway between your eyes and brows, following the shape of your arches. Complete the line by connecting it to the outer corners of your eyes, making a long, sharp wing on either side. Though we love the strong look of Samira’s lines above, we suggest you play around with the thickness of your own lines to see what suits your eye shape best. Another hot tip: Try theeyelash curler eyeshadow hackthat went viral on TikTok. It just might help you achieveeven lines.

To copy, use a light hand and blend the shadows well, making sure the colors bleed together or smoke out with no hard lines of demarcation.
