How to Add a Santa Fe Base Color to Your Eye-Shadow

One of the best colors to add to your eye-shadow collection to act as a base for a Santa Fe look is a reddish brick. Of course this is a warm color so make sure that it is suitable to your own coloring.

This brick coloring is available from many various brands. The reason it is one of the best base colors is that when blended with other colors, it can take you from season to season. It is the color of the beautiful red rock formations in Georgia O'Keeffe country.

• With the base brick in the crease of the eye, add a light pink on the lid and beneath brow and you are set for spring. 
• Change to the addition of a light bronze blended with the brick and you instantly have a summer look. 
• For fall, change to a light, rusty colored brown on the lid, with a cream beneath the brow. 
• For winter, move to a darker matted brown to blend in the crease with the brick, add cream color on lid and beneath brow. 
• For evening, these brick base colors are beautiful applied in the crease paired with a dark gray triangled on the outer eye corners. Add glitzy sparkly pink, gold or light silver for lids and brow highlighting.

A brick eye-shadow is one of the most versatile base shades for Santa Fe coloring.
