There is always a colour for every season and sometimes every decade and century, but specific colours have always been in style throughout history. That being said, the reading unveils one of the most popular shades of red that always stays on trend and is a sought-after colour for every season.
One thing about burgundy is that it has a powerful and profound effect on anyone who wears it.
Burgundy is a deep reddish brown colour inspired by the wine produced in a town in France, hence the name. It is more severe and elegant than red. Celebrities such as Priyanka Chopra, Lily Collins, Storm Reid, Olivia Rodrigo, Selena Gomez, and more have flawlessly applied this makeup and made all heads turn.

1. Factors to consider when applying any eye Shadow
Basic things must be looked out for before applying any eye shadow to obtain a seamless and gorgeous look.

1.1. Eye Shape
The first and foremost thing in the eyeshadow application is the eye shape. Eye shadow is applied in different ways, and the application of it widely depends on the shape of the eye. Other eye shapes include dove, almond, siren, deep set, monolid, hooded, downturned, and upturned.
The difference in eye shape makes the same eyeshadow application look good on one person but completely different on another. The eye shape dictates the eye shadow design and depth. After learning about eye shape, moving on to the next factor will be easy.
1.2. Eye Color
The colour of the eye is crucial in choosing the colour of the eye shadow. Some eye colours and shadow combinations make a person look gloomy, scary, and tired, while others make the eyes look bright and attractive.
People with green, hazel, blue, and grey eyes must be more selective regarding eye colour shadows. The good news is if you are brown-eyed, any eye colour shadow can work well
1.3. Brushes to be used
You should use brushes of different shapes, sizes, and applications when applying eye shadow. Luckily, most of these brushes are inexpensive.

some brushes include soft and fluffy brushes for blending and creating shadows, flat, dense brushes for pigmented colour application, rounded brushes used for blending and controlled eye shadow application, flat and sharp brushes for defined application and precision and lastly, an eyeliner brush for eyeliner, application and tightening.

While many other factors should be considered for eye shadow colour selection, such as evenness, skin tone, and more, the ones listed above should receive more attention and be reviewed in detail.
2. How to apply Burgundy Eye Shadow
2.1. Highlight the bone brow
It is easy for the brow to lose its shape when applying eye shadows; therefore, before starting your application, you must draw or highlight under your eyebrows and give them a perfect shape. Highlighting the brow can provide a more considerable eye effect. As you highlight your brows, start lightly and finish with a darker shade.
2.2. Start with a Primer
Most people think primer is just an extra for their makeup; truth be told, primer is the most essential thing that should be included in the makeup kit. Primer is like Photoshop in the makeup world. It hydrates, blurs large pores, fine lines, pigmentations, and dark circles, and gives your makeup a flawless look. Different types of primers are available depending on what you need.
A primer makes the eye shadow last longer and prevents it from falling out of place if it is loosely applied. For a magical effect, use your hands to apply the primer. The warmth in your hands allows the primer to melt quickly on the eyelids. If you do not have a primer, you can use eye cream on your eyelids; it can work wonders.
2.3. Light to darkest shade
After primer application, you can start working on the art of burgundy eye shadow application. The critical principle is lighter shades to the darkest. As you work your eye shadow, start with the inner corner of the eye, applying a light shade, then a medium shade on the lid, and a darker shade on the porter corner. You can skip the lid and focus on the outer and inner corners. The same principles apply to the lower lid.

The darker the eye shadow, the thinner the brush should be. A thinner brush gives your application more control and accuracy.
As you apply your eye shadow, avoid using it too high on your upper eyelid or too low on your lower eyelid.
2.4. Avoid taking too much product on your brush
When you have too much product on your brush, it will be challenging to subtract once the makeup is done and you are not satisfied with the look. Adding more products later is more accessible than reducing.
However, if you already have too much eyeshadow, you can always add matte nude or light shimmer to your fluffy brush and brush it over where rectification is needed.

4.3. Skipping Under Eye Shadow
A complete look is achieved when your under-eye has an effect as well. Most people need to remember this part.
4.4. Applying makeup before foundation

Once you start working on your eye shadow before the foundation, you might have to repeat the eye shadow application after laying the foundation. After the product is named as foundation for the sole purpose of it being laid first before anything else.
