Makeup makes me happy, and today I figured I'd try something completely new. I dived into my makeup storage and found a red shade I got off eBay some time ago. Unfortunately it's a discontinued shadow, but M·A·C Falling Star was just screaming at me out of the pot, and I do not regret getting it. At first it looks kinda red to me, which is why I originally bought it, but it's really a burgundy with a red reflects - and this is most certainly not the last time I'll use it! I put M·A·C Electra (silver with icy shimmer) on half of my lid, starting from the inner corner, and put M·A·C Falling Star on the outer half of my lid. Then I gently blended the two colors together on the middle, and pulled the burgundy slightly more into the inner half. I absolutely love the result. Then I used Femme Fi for highlight, since it's the shadow that matches my skin tone the best, and put a little bit by the tear duct to brighten the eye.
