Why this worksWarm tones like rust, burgundy, and golden hues complement the seasonal changes and enhance your natural eye colour. These shades create depth and warmth, making your eyes more inviting. Plus, they're versatile enough for both casual and festive occasions.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Choose Your Palette Select an eyeshadow palette featuring warm, earthy tones. Look for shades like burnt orange, deep red, and soft gold to create that October vibe.
  2. Prep Your Lids Apply a primer or concealer to your eyelids to ensure the eyeshadow adheres well and lasts longer. This step helps to even out skin tone and prevent creasing.
  3. Apply Base Shade Using a fluffy brush, apply a soft neutral shade across your eyelids as a base. This sets the stage for the richer colours to come.
  4. Layer with Warm Tones Start with a mid-tone rust or burgundy on the outer corner and blend towards the centre. Use a smaller brush for precision, adding depth gradually.
  5. Highlight the Inner Corner Finish the look by applying a light gold or champagne shade to the inner corner and brow bone. This brightens up your eyes and adds a touch of shimmer.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip the primer, which can cause eyeshadow to fade. Others may use too many colours, making the look chaotic rather than cohesive. Remember to blend well to avoid harsh lines.

The pro moveTry using a damp brush for applying shimmer shades to enhance their intensity.
