Suqqu products/swatches for FOTD, red eyeshadow

Products, from left clockwise: 01 Hinatazuna single eyeshadow (cream), 04 Himenadeshiko single eyeshadow (pale pink), 11 Ashibi single blush (dusky pink), 23 Keshiaka creamy lipstick (soft natural pink) EX-42 Aka single eyeshadow (bright red, with gold micro-sparkles.)

Swatches left to right: Hinatazuna, Himenadeshiko, Aka, Ashibi, Keshiaka.
I based my make-up today around eyeshadow EX-42 Aka, from the Autumn/Winter 2006 collection. Red eyeshadow looks quite frightening in the pot, but I like to wear it as an eyeliner along my top lashline. It's a bit unexpected, but fun and I find it wearable if I keep the rest of my make-up quite simple. I'm wearing the cream colour all over as a base from lash to brow, the pink over my lid and into my crease, and the red along my lashline.

  1. oooh RED SHADOW!! I have to admit, I am drawn to reds but I am scared that I will look like I have an eye infection. Thank you for proving to me that it is not the case.

    I think I will dust off my rusty red and try that soon.

  3. Hi OC - I think it works, particularly worn this way. I like it for a change, and for the '...is that RED eyeshadow you're wearing?' effect ;)

    Hi Kelly Ann - thanks :)

  6. Loving this. I have a alove for red shadow. I have a couple of MUF shades that I don't use nearly as much as I should. I think you have inspired me for the weekend shadow colour ;)

  7. Love the red shadow - It looks fab on you.

    I have only worn red eyeshadow on Halloween! but it actually looked good. So maybe I should start being a bit more daring.

  8. I am jealous of that red. I love red eyeshadow, more like a neutral color on me. Hard to find good ones though and that one looks awesome!

  10. Hello Inner Belle - thank you, that's very kind. x

    Hi BBB - thank you :) It's nice for something different.

    Hello Eliza - I love red shadow on blue eyes, I think it would look gorgeous on you.

    Hi Fee - it's good to do something unexpected sometimes - go on, pull out the red ;) Thank you for visiting my blog.

    Hi Olivia - this is a really good red; properly pigmented, so it doesn't go pink when applied.

    Hi Mag - thank you, me too :)

  11. That looks great. I love that you have managed to get a really different look and statement from so little. It's subtle and yet very eye-catching at the same time; and will work as the season changes. Nice.
