I tried a new look, inspired by jeffreestar
But my friend says I use too much red. I actually used 3 different shades :
Viva eyeshadow in pink, red, and peach color
And for the lips I use viva liquid lipstick

In my personal opinion it is a bit too red and I think you brought the eyeshadow up a bit too high for my liking. But if you like it then that's all that matters :-)

Yes I'd say so. I think you are missing the highlight to soften it and the 3shades are very alike you needed something to give the look depth and distinguish the red, I really think you need some more shades of different colours. As unfortunately the colour red or pink can make things look as if they are sore 😁 good on you for trying a new look you just need to play around a bit more and always take your eye shape and crease into consideration.. 😃

I honestly look awful in red haha so I'm not rly a pro.. but I guess red is a bold color, if I were you I'd do a natural wing with neutral eyeshadow and a nice red lip.. it'll look great. but just do what makes you comfortable.

I think if you add a highlight to your browbone, and deepen the crease a little, it will be gorgeous!

You have to be careful when you use red near your eyes. They can start to look irritated a tired.

Yes I agree with Ashley!
whenever I use purpley- redy colors near/ on my eye lids it looks like I have an eye irritation (it might just look like that with lighter skinned ppl) haha so yeah, you could always google some good red makeup looks on google :)

here is an example of a nice nude lid with red eyeshadow
