What started out as the hottest winter hue for your lips has now taken over your eye makeup palette, too. Rich and elegant, burgundy is moody, wearable and eye-catching. Here are four ways to dabble in this eye makeup colour trend all year round.
1
Pair it with nudes
If you’re hesitant to try this bold colour, start by blending burgundy with neutral tones for a hint of colour, suggests Lancôme National Makeup Director Lara Srokowski. For this look we like Tom Ford Eye Color Quad in Honeymoon.
2
Update your eyeliner
A subtle ring of burgundy liner will make your eyes pop. Want it more dramatic? Smudge a little black liner along the lash line, too. Try Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner in Diamond Burgundy.
3
Take it from day to night
For day, Srokowski recommends burgundy shadow in the socket and neutrals on the lid; for night, start with a creamy dusty burgundy shadow on the lid and layer either dark brown or black over the top. Try Estée Lauder Magic Smoky™ Powder Shadow Stick in Charred Plum.
4
Upgrade your smoky eye
Burgundy’s smouldering colour is perfect for a new take on the classic. Start by layering multiple variations of burgundy (like matte with shimmer or a mix of burgundy tones), and finish with a slick of black mascara. “Pair smoky eyes with fresh skin and natural lips, or contrast subtle burgundy eyes with a dramatic plum pout,” advises Srokowski. We love Lancôme Hypnôse Iconic Eyeshadow Palette in Montmartre.
