@monicakm  I cannot wear orange/coral either, but the cashier looked lovely. You know, a supermarket checkout line is one of the few places where you can get a good look at someone's clothes/makeup/hair without being conspicuous. Maybe that's why they call it "check out."

@monicakm   I'm fairly sure this look is mainly editorial. Not only would it be tough to pull off, but also not complimentary with today's more natural looks in makeup.

@monicakm That pink is gorgeous.

After getting Firewerk, I didn't like the silver shimmer in it, so I didn't look at the others, but the base color is beautiful!

Variety is the spice of life!  If some ladies like it.... OK.  But a big "no" for me.

 

Back in my 20's I got a free makeover at a Merle Norman store.   The MN lady applied  shades of burgundy red eye shadows on me.  I looked like I'd been crying or had some awful eye disease.  Ick.  I couldn't wait to get home and wash it all off!

Yes, I  was just saying that picture is what I would think of when I think "red eyeshadow".

What's the name of this shade?  Pestilence?

Yes, I'm starting to see red eyeshadow pop up on You Tube and on HSN (Lancome).  Now, I don't shy away from bright colors,  applied artfully, but RED?

This is the vibe I get when I think of red eyeshadow LOL

Red eye shadow makes me think of Kabuki performers.  On them it looks good.
