The trick to pulling off the red, green and gold mixture is letting the red statement lip be the focus. Be sure the dark green eyeliner is applied close to the lash line for a soft -- not dramatic -- effect. The keyword here is subtle. The green tint should only be obvious close up, letting the gold cream shadow appear to be the only color on the eyes from far away.
Forget what you've heard about blue eye shadow -- it isn't some tacky '80s trend. Not only will it brighten your look, it also pairs perfectly with another wintertime hue, silver. Try lining the eyes with a navy shade and creating a wintry blue smoky eye. Then use the silver at the inner corners of the eyes and along your water line to give a frosty effect that really opens up the eyes.
