While crazy posing on the subway platform (or your house, a club, etc. I had actually just gone to see an off-Broadway musical called "Kingdom")...
...why not try a shimmery Maroon eyeshadow?
It's a totally unexpected color that's more wearable than you'd think. Using a cream base in a similar color first, I applied the shadow over my entire lid almost all the way to the brow. Use whatever is left on your brush and bring the color through the bottom lashes making sure to connect the color at the corners so you have a nice shape of color surrounding your eyes.
Add black eye liner to your lash lines and your rims to finish your smokey eyes.
Keep the rest of your makeup neutral for a modern look. I just used a little bronzer and a nude lip color.

*product to try: M.A.C. Pigment in "Maroon"
