EOTD: Gold, Red and Black...

I'm wearing so much more red than I did in my youth, and especially this winter - making up for lost time I guess, but it's also such a fabulous shade for dispelling the drearies. I tend to wear it on Tuesdays, which is the day ruled by Mars, and often the day when I have the most challenges at work, so having some colour support is essential. I did something similar back in January, but I prefer this one because of the matte charcoal on the lower lashline - far kinder to my old eyes...


And of course, back then I didn't have the Mirenesse Secret Weapon 24HR Pure Gold Eye liner in my kit either - it's truly amazing and so easy to control the placement, plus it sure does last all day long. There's a swatch of it here...


So here's what I used to create this look...

Base: Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bold Gold
Gold shadow: Urban Decay Honey
Red shadow: Sugarpill Love+
Charcoal shadow: MUA Matte #20
Top lash liner: Mirenesse Secret Weapon 24HR Pure Gold Eye liner
Waterliner: Essence white kajal



Take care of you,

  1. You always know what colour combos go together perfectly Kats :) You are a truly talented gal xx
    I love your placements of the shades also. The way the red is circled by the gold and charcoal looks amazing! And I am loving that gold Mirenesse liner. It is a very vibrant gold which looks fab by the red. Well done as always hunny bear xxx

  2. Gorgeous. I love the gold liner too.
    I wanted the Mirenesse purple rain set but it sold out.
    Loving the red too, it is a colour I have been thinking of trying and as always you encourage me to be that bit braver with my makeup.

    1. My dear Pink Hornet - boo to Mirenesse for selling out (I wanted it too). Hope you give red a go hon - it's not nearly as scary as it seems, and you only need a teeny bit to make a colourful splash xxx

  5. Another mermaid look! I love it! I remember using a highly pigmented red eye shadow when I was 18 and painted my whole eye lid! Looking back, I think I gave everyone a fright with my experimental bloodshot eyes but no one was brave enough to tell me how scary I look! haha
    I also have that Mirenesse Gold Eye Liner in Mini and haven't used it yet as I'm still trying to figure out how to use it! Thanks for the tip! :)
