Smokey Red FOTD

Today's FOTD was inspired by the lovely Lu - a couple of days ago she uploaded a gorgeous red/pink eye look to her YouTube Channel. It looked so stunning on her that I had to do something like it today! Like Lu's tutorial, I used BeneFit Eye Bright as a base and it gave a really nice new dimension to the red shadow. The only thing I really did any different was adding some matte black to the outer corner to darken it up a bit. It doesn't seem to want to photo very well, it looks much better in real life! I couldn't find my favourite nude lipstick today (Natural Collection's Apple Blossom) so I tried something else for my lips - I just filled them in with Illamasqua's medium pencil in Hex, and topped with Revlon's super lustrous lipgloss in Peach Petal.

This is a bit brighter than I'd normally wear my eyes for everyday, but I quite like it!
