Once Upon A Time: Red Riding Hood

Time for my next character in my Once Upon A Time series! Today is: Red Riding Hood. Before Ruby remembers that she’s Red Riding Hood, she’s a little slutty, and she wears pretty dramatic makeup. After she remembers who she really is, her makeup becomes very classy and decent. I wanted this look to be based off of how she wore her makeup when she didn’t remember who she was.

Priming! Using Urban Decay: Primer Potion, I placed it all over my lid, up to my brow-bone and along my lower lashes.

Next I wanted to apply a base that would let my eye shadow stick as much as possible. So I went with Benefit: Creaseless Cream Shadow in Get Figgy.

Shadow time!

For this red look, I didn’t want an intense red that would make me look ill. So I went for a berry-red color. From the L’Oreal: Hip Duo in Cheeky, I placed the lighter red all over my lid. Slightly blending it up into my crease.

To add more depth to my look, I added the darker color in this shadow duo into my crease. Blend it up to your brow bone, but don’t apply too much to your brush. You don’t want too much dark brown-red in the crease, remember we don’t want to look ill.

After all your main shadows have been applied we want to blend it out, and apply a highlight. I used Virgin from the Urban Decay Naked Palette.

Time to line the eyes!

Using Revlon: Felt Tip Pen, I thickly lined my lid, and added a small wing. I very lightly lined my lower lash-line, only to the middle of my lid.

To continue adding darkness to your look, add Perversion Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner to your water-line.

Finishing touches!

You always need to apply mascara if you want a completely finished eye-look that looks well put together. For my mascara I used L’Oreal: Voluminous Million Lashes in Black/Brown.
