Step 1: Apply primer or nude concealer all over your eye lids

To make sure you maximise your eyeshadow’s staying power, apply a primer or concealer. Doing so will also intensify the colours you’re going for.

Step 2: Go for a nude eyeshadow shade first

As a base shade, go for a nude colour. This will allow you to build up colour and intensity.

Step 3: Apply a darker burgundy shade to your crease and blend

To add definition to the look, apply a burgundy shade to your crease and blend the colour in using a fluffy, soft brush.

Step 4: Add a darker shade in the outer corner of your eye

Go for drama and apply a darker shade to the outer corner of your eye. Blend both shades for a truly seamless transition.

Step 5: Go for a pop of red in the middle of your crease

To make your eyes really stand out, add a punchy red shade to the middle of your crease. Once again, make sure the red eyeshadow colour is blended with a fluffy brush.

Step 6: Press on the white eyeshadow

Press white eyeshadow into the inner corners of your eyes. Quick Tip: Wet your brush to add intensity to the colour.

Step 7: Go for a subtle cat eye flick

Add the wow factor to this look by going for a thin but defined cat eye flick using liquid eyeliner.

Step 8: Don’t forget the lower lash line!

Tie the look together by going over your lower lash line with the same eyeshadow hue. After that, just like with the upper lid, add a white shade to the inner corners. Finish by highlighting the brow bone.
