Smoky bright purple eye shadow

 Here's a purple smoky look that is a bit different for me because it has the darker shade a lot further in than I usually go.
 I used a dark/bright purple on lid and blended up into the crease. I didn't go all the way in on the lid, left just a bit on the inner corner to blend a lighter shade. Next I used a lighter pink shadow on the inner corner and blended into the darker shade on the lid and blended it on the edge above crease too. I did the usual highlight with a white pencil on the inner corner and then a white shadow with a blending brush over white liner and blended under brows into the darker shade. Under the eye I just did a thin line of the light pink blended into highlight and a bit of the dark(purple) on outer corner with small angle brush. For the liner, I used a black gel liner with a thin angled liner brush. I made the liner pretty thin on the inner corner and thicker on the outer corner, like always :)
To make it more of a smoky look I put black shadow along the lash line to set the liner and keep it dark but next I put the dark/bright purple shadow on the edge of the liner to blend it together more and made it smokier :)
Next step is curling lashes and lots of mascara! Also, I did my brows first because without them my eyes are pretty much invisible. Brows always help to frame the eyes and help them stand out the most!

Here is the list of makeup used:

Eyeshadow base -Merle Norman, Auto Shadow Base

Dark Shadow -Bourjois, 17 Prune

Medium Shadow -Rimmel Stars, 159 Frivolity

Highlight Shadow -Almay, Mother of Pearl

Liner -Maybelline Gel Liner, Blackest Black + Black Shadow and Bourjois Prune

Brows -Rimmel Pro Brow Pencil, Hazel + Ardell Brow Defining Powder, Mink Brown

 

Face Cream/Primer -Garnier Skin Renew B.B. Cream, Light/Medium

Foundation -Quo Wet and Dry powder foundation, Soft Bisque

Bronzer -Rimmel Natural Bronzer, 22 Sun Bronze

Blush -Light pink (would like to use a bit of a cooler tone blush next time)

Lips -Victoria's Secret Beauty rush lip gloss, Passion fruit pop

 

Look at how green my eyes look with purple shadow! Other eye colors can use this look too but it will bring out green the best! :)

Purple smokey eye makeup lesson video

Here's a makeup tutorial on a good friend, she made it so easy because she's so beautiful but I still got to bring out her natural beauty even more. I never want makeup to hide natural beauty, I always want makeup to just bring it out more. I always like to bring out the eyes the most because I find that it's the most beautiful feature on pretty much everyone, when talking to someone you'll always look into their eyes and usually remember that part of a person. Hope everyone has a great time trying this out!! :D

Makeover

This is my beautiful friend who let me take some pictures of her after I  had fun putting a bit of makeup on her. The first picture is a before picture, and of course, the next three are after we had way too much fun. I used golden brown colours to bring out her blue eyes more, you cant tell as much in the pictures but it really did make her eyes look a lot more blue. I also made sure to keep the rest of her makeup in warmer tones too, i didn't want to add any pinks or purples(anything with cool blue tones)because it could clash with the golden/copper tones on her eyes.

Inner three quarter of eye: Gold

Outer corner and Crease: Dark Brown(Make sure it's well blended)

Just outer corner: Black

Highlight and Inner corner: Sheer Ivory

Under eye: Outer half, put a small bit of black liner just under lash line then blend dark brown shadow into liner to soften the line. Inner half, gold shadow.

Liner-For the top eyeliner, it should be quite thin on the inner corner and start getting thicker around or just after the pupil and slightly slant up at the outer corner of your eye. Also I like to soften the edge of the liner by taking a small angle brush and putting a just bit of black shadow along it.

Dark purple night look

Here's a look that I think is good for going out on a date or just a night out with friends. The colours I used are really good for green eyes because it will make the green stand out a lot more since purple is opposite on the colour wheel. I used different shades of the same colour because its always best to not use different colours that will clash. I also made sure to keep the rest of my makeup in the same colour family, warm tones mixed with cool tones could just make your makeup look a little confusing. well anyways, here's what i used:
~medium shade(on the inner three quarters of eyelid, just up to crease of eye lid)-light lavender
~dark shade(on outer corner and blended into the crease)-dark purple
~highlight(under eyebrow blended into the dark in the crease and on the inner corner)-lightly shimmery white
~plus a bit of black shadow just on the outer corner
