How Influencers Are Interpreting the Burgundy Makeup Trend

Presenting… a video by the M Crowd — our wildly talented group of makeup influencers who create exclusive content just for Makeup.com. Here, Madison shares how to get a monochrome makeup look using the Maybelline Burgundy Bar eyeshadow palette.

With fall quickly approaching (yes, Labor Day is really only a few weekends away), it’s time to pull out those vampy hues you’ve been hiding next to your coziest sweaters. Cooler weather calls for a slightly different beauty routine — think thicker moisturizer and layering lipstick over lip balm to keep your lippies comfortable and soft throughout the day. It’s also when we transition to deeper colors on the makeup spectrum like red’s sultrier sister, burgundy. This near-universal shade looks great all over your face, particularly on the eyes, lips and cheeks. M Crowd member Madison Krista shows us how to rock the hue all over in the tutorial ahead:

STEP 1: Start by using a matte deep purple-red shade in the crease as your transition shade.

STEP 2: Next, dip into the Maybelline Burgundy Bar palette, and apply the shimmery purple-red shadow all over the lid. Sweep it up into your transition shade to add a little more dimension to the eye.

STEP 3: After, thinly line the eyes using a black liquid liner like NYX Professional Makeup Liquid Liner and create a wing.

STEP 4: Now that the eyes are finished, apply a glowy foundation like L’Oréal Pro-Glow Foundation all over the skin using a foundation brush and buff it in.

STEP 5: Next, apply concealer to the high points of your face you want to highlight (think under the eye, chin and forehead).

STEP 6: Finish off the look with NYX Soft Matte Metallic Lip Cream in Madrid — a wine red shade with enough shimmer to make your lips stand out.
