red and white makeup look (canada day inspired #FOTD)

Another Canada Day has arrived. For some, that means fireworks and barbecues, and for others, it looks like just another day. In past years, my husband and I have gone to local events where there was live music, vendors, and other forms of entertainment. However, since the pandemic, the celebrations have been a lot more low key for us. At first we did not feel safe heading out into the crowds. Now? It just seems harder to fit in those special events. Despite the fact that we both had plans to work on Canada Day, we have made a last minute shift, and will be heading to Ottawa to see some fireworks and a DJ that my husband enjoys. It is a long way to go for a few hours of entertainment, but I think it is exactly what we need. To look and feel my best this Canada Day, I decided to create a red and white makeup look using some of my tried and true favourites. 


There were two eyeshadow palettes used to create the eye look: the Tarte Tarteist Pro Remix Eyeshadow Palette and the Alyssa Edwards Eyeshadow Palette. Both are ones that I reach for often. The Tarte palette is one that I often take away on vacation or reach for when I want something colourful but easy to create. The shadows are ultra pigmented and look beautiful. I knew right away that I wanted to use the shimmery warm red. It was applied all over the lid and then blended out with the soft brown. To incorporate the white in this red and white makeup look, the Alyssa Edwards Eyeshadow Palette was the obvious choice. The white in that particular palette is incredible. It is so richly pigmented. As you can see from the end result, the white really pops! I loved the contrast between the bold white matte and the warm red shimmer. Eyeliner and mascara finished off the eyes. A warm red lipstick from NYX was applied to the lips to finish off the Canada Day inspired makeup look.

Whether today is an ordinary Monday or you are celebrating Canada Day, here is hoping the day is one to remember.
