After seeing the cherry eye trend all over Instagram, on the makeup shelves at my favorite store, and on celebrities on the red carpet, I was determined to find out how versatile the color scheme really is on my skin tone. I checked out the reviews on Sephora's online community to choose my pink and purple tools and broke out my brushes to see how many looks I could come up with. I ultimately picked the Urban Decay Naked Cherry Eyeshadow Palette ($49) — after noticing it had earned a Sephora Community Seal for its great reviews — along with a few other palettes (so we sound less biased) that piqued my interest.
Over the course of a few days, I managed to create three different cherry eye looks that I can't get enough of. I'm praying that this juicy trend is here to stay now that I'm a true devotee.

Using the Ciaté Glitter Storm Palette ($42), I applied a matte pink shade to my crease and packed on the rose-colored glitter to the center of my lid. The look was completed with nude lipstick and a liquid eyeliner.
I broke out the Urban Decay Naked Cherry Palette ($49) and applied a matte wash of berry-pink to my eyes. I paired lipstick of a similar tone to complete the look.
By the third day, I didn't want to spend a long time on my makeup. I applied some liner and used a small angled brush to apply a dark maroon hue from the Too Faced Gingerbread Spice Palette ($49) to my lower lash line and blended out.
