Fall 2013 Red Eye Makeup Trend

This Fall, red based plum eye shadows were seen on almost all of the runways. This fall you may want to incorporate this shade into your daily makeup, but don't it to be too harsh. Here are some ideas of how to get the on-trend plum eye, but in a classy, and minimalist way.

Mix the Textures:
Mixing/layering different textures will make the red toned eye makeup more wearable. For example using shimmery cream shadow all over your lid, and then layering a matte shadow in the crease and outer corner.

OR

Try just wearing a dampened plum red eyeshadow as a liner, or a light wash over your lids.

If you are planning on going full out and bold on your eyes, make sure to keep your skin and lips very light, so as not to have them fighting for focus.

Jessie's Picks:

Stila Magnificent Metals Foil Finish Eye Shadow in Metallic Merlot
Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner in #11
Covergirl Smokey Shadowblast in Purple Plume
Flower Colour Play Eyeshadow in Awesome Blossom
Nars Eyeshadow in New York

Makeup Monday: Victoria Beckham Makeup Look

Victoria Beckham is a style icon, and personally one of my top fashion and beauty inspirations. Her fashion line boasts beautiful structure and lines. One half of Britain's "other royal family" Victoria rules the fashion world with an iron fist, having recently launched another successful denim and accessories line.

Here is a lighter daytime version of her signature look that Victoria has been sporting more and more often. Face: 1. Victoria has oily skin so a primer is a must.
