'Burning Flame' Look

'Burning Flame' Look

This look is half request and half Valentine's Day inspired. One of the main looks I have seen for Valentine's Day is a red smokey eye...but using black as the central color. I did my own twist on the look with red as the focal point. Red eyeshadow is really hard to wear without looking sore or bruised but I think this turned out great! Oh and before I forget...Pure Luxe OMG! Pigment is phenomenal!
