How to Wear Burgundy Eye Makeup, According to a Celebrity Makeup Artist

Like all makeup trends, it can be as complicated or wearable as you want it to be, with the artist saying, “Anything goes!” 

“It can be as simple as using a smudgy burgundy shadow to line the eyes for daytime,” says Patinkin, “and using a burgundy eyeliner to tightline under the upper lash line or do a full liquid cat eye look for night.” 

The artist likes sneaking the warm shade into daily looks in place of typical neutrals, like black or brown. 

“It’s a very sophisticated alternative to gray and black,” says Patinkin, adding that plum shades can bring extra warmth to an icy makeup look.

For a quick but effective option, burgundy mascaras add subtle warm undertones on their own, “or can be worn together [with black mascara] adding burgundy to just the tips of your lashes, to create dimension,” says Patinkin. 

“I love using my Jenny Patinkin Smokey Eyes Brush to create a hazy, diffused look that mixes burgundy with deep brown,” she tells E!
