I am still begrudgingly getting used to Grenadine:

A deep matte red eyeshadow – who’d have thunk it?!

Here are my 5 ideas on how to wear it:

1. As a super thin liner

To do this, just wet the brush and shadow and draw a super thin line close to the lashes.

Word of warning – Grenadine does NOT like direct contact with water – it went all hard on mine but luckily I only ever wet the corner of a powder eyeshadow.

2. As a thicker liner and flick

Once again, wetting the brush and drawing a more dramatic flick.

3. Red as a soft wash, with a hint of gold

Red and gold for a rich, christmassy look.

4. Red with Green and black liquid liner – something funky

5. Brown with a dot of red

So there you are, the first of my 5 of….series (although this title says 5 looks and not 5 of…). Does this make red a little bit more accessible for you?
