Long time ago, when I was just first introduced to the color wheel and it's tricks, I knew that to find the PERFECT color to match my eye color (which is green..) and make them pop, I need to go to the opposite or parallel color to green on the color wheel.

So after a short research and a LOT of practice and attempts, I finally got it! I first felt so intimidated by it, as I've found that it can make your eyes look tired. But right now I want to share all the techniques with you!
After a little search on the internet I have found some great pictures of women wearing red eyeshadow which looks absolutely amazing! Here are some of them to inspire you:
It is pretty hard to find a good red eyeshadow, but I know MakeupForever has one, and the one I'm using in the video below is MAC Red Brick eyeshadow.
