How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes

When I style a client for red shoes, I start with the outfit.

Black dress fitted or flowy, doesn’t matter then I build the makeup around the shoe’s intensity.

I’ll apply a long-wear foundation, set it with powder.

And add a touch of highlighter on the collarbones to echo the shoe’s shine.

For the eyes, I skip heavy shadow and go for a defined lash and a sharp wing.

It frames the face without competing with the red at your feet.

Finish with a balmy nude or soft pink lip, and you’re set for hours.
