Oh, what a year it’s been for beauty in 2018. More than ever before we saw a meteoric rise in the number of indie brands, and saw tons of daring beauty trends take hold and become staples in our beauty routines. The blinding highlighters, full coverage everything, extreme matte foundations, the strobing technique, faux freckles, and so much more – 2018 was truly the year for makeup buffs.

When I look back at the year and assess what my all-time favorite beauty trend was, I must admit it has to be: the cranberry & red eyeshadow look. This look took our insta feeds by storm late 2017 and was since seen all over for 2018. There was no beauty brand out there that did not launch an eyeshadow palette that didn’t house this pinkish red shade. So, I went out on a hunt and dug out 10 of my favorite beauty bloggers who have sported this look throughout the year. From local beauty chicks to global makeup instagrammers, check out 10 times the cranberry red eyeshadow look totally rocked my feed.

1. All Over Red

Known as one of her signature looks of the year, here El Jammi is sporting a simple, and totally matte, red eye – and we are obsessed.

8. Go All the Way

True artist Hindash takes this trend to a whole new level with this look he did on Dima Sheikhly. A pulled out red eye shadow look adorned with a glitzy copper center – this look is nothing short of intense but amazing in every way.
