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

Summer Lace OOTD and Natural Makeup Tutorial

Hello everyone! Today's OOTD is my favourite summer look. Lace, loose waves, and a natural makeup look. It was nice and warm today so I brought out one of my favourite dresses. It is from American Eagle, and was given to me by one of my friends a few years ago. I like that it is strapless as when I am outside enjoying the sunshine I don't have to worry about awkward tan lines! I went with a natural and glowing makeup look today, and I even filmed it for you! You can watch the video below. It is inspired by the gorgeous Gigi Hadid. xx Jess Instagram: jessicakinnari
