Red lips w/ eyes other than classic pin up ?

[urbanlilyfairy]

Heya ..just wondering what other eye combos that is wearable with red lippies. The only eye look I do with red lips is the classic pin up barley there shadow and winged liner.

Just wondering what other combos people have done or tried out. I don't mind the classic look ..its classic lol ..just want to try something else but i'm fearful of looking like a clown or a hooker lol... neeed some suggestions ! hehe

You can check out different face charts...for example, today I'm wearing the Lady Danger face chart that uses medium brown on the lid and dark brown in the crease.

Facecharts <-- That's the link

A couple other ideas:

Silver looks great-use a frosty light silver on the lid, a medium gray in the crease, and a neutral highlight on the browbone. Line your eyes as you normally would (to give definition, you can wing out the liner like the "classic" look or just do it regularly).

One of my personal favorites is to use gold shadow. Make sure it's a light, warm yellow-gold (nothing too heavy or intense or you'll look clown-ish), and use it all over your eyelid. Define your crease with a light peachy-brown (matte is the best texture for this) and then line your eyes (but you don't have to wing out the liner or anything). A frosty white or off-white looks best as a highlight with this. And for blush, try a hot pink applied really lightly

And of course any neutral eye using beiges and browns will look great too!

A grey smokey eye is a great match for red lips as well. Not bold, black, hooker smokey, but subtle smokey

Sheer silver shimmer shadow looks fabulous with red lips
I've also done a soft grey smokey eye
I haven't tried this yet, but I think if the red is an orange red and not a real blue red a sheer gold shadow might look pretty.

a nice shimmery taupe looks great too! Like MACS satin taupe, thats what i wear with red lipstick. I smoke it out, and its not to dark or not too barely there.it gives a nice balanced look thats not clownish at all
