20 Products, 2 Ways
Go Minimal: Yes, 20 products were used to create this look. And zero contouring was involved. Instead Violette got really creative with highlighters: "I worked with concealers and multiple highlighters to bring out her bright, very luminous complexion," she explains, pointing out luminizers in a trio of tones—pink, copper, and burgundy. "Highlight really looks incredible on dark skin," she enthuses. She kept lips neutral and made sure every other detail—eyebrows, eyelashes—felt polished, not overly painted-on.
Go Major: For this incredibly unsubtle look, start again with luminous skin (blend concealer over any ruddy spots or blemishes; you can skip foundation if you don't need it). Then, put all the focus on these glittery crimson lids. To create a ton of dimension and sparkle, layer creamy burgundy lip products on your eyelids (shop them below), blending thoroughly with a brush between each layer, then add two colored glitters at the end for a touch of light-catching flash. A neutral lip and cheek color balances everything out without stealing the show from the razzle-dazzle eyes.
