Get the Look: Elizabeth Olsen’s Burgundy Smoky Eye

Ever since we laid eyes on the reddish-pink eye shadow at Suno’s Fall 2014 show, we knew the red-eye trend would be big for fall. But Elizabeth Olsen is one step ahead of us, rocking the look a season early. The burgundy smoky eye she wore at the LA premiere of Godzilla made a statement, but the beauty of red eye shadow is how subtle it looks when blended properly. “For this look, we wanted to channel Bianca Jagger and scenes from the Studio 54 days, so I went for a molten, smoky, burgundy eye with a mulberry lip,” said Chanel celebrity makeup artist Kate Lee. She gave us the scoop on how to recreate the look.
