Purple Smokey Eye

I love this purple smokey eye. I was just experimenting one day before I went out with some friends, and I fell in love with it. I would wear this when I'm just going to the movies with my friends, or out to dinner. Something casual but still nice.

  1. Begin with "The Basics" as always.
  2. Then apply black eyeliner to lower waterline.
  3. Apply a purple liner to top lash line
    1. Make the upper lash line sort of thin but still thick enough to see it.
  4. Apply a light black shadow to the crease.
  5. Take a clean powder brush and blend those well so the black isn't harsh and you can't tell where it begins or ends. If you don't blend it, the black will drown the purple.
  6. Time for the purple. Take your purple shadow (I suggest a dark purple to go with the black) and with a tiny blush-like brush, brush it right above of the black that you put in your crease out just alittle past where you stopped the black. Fill some of the purple in at the corner so it connects to your top eyeliner and crease. Apply two or three coats of the purple until desired intensity is reached.
    1. Apply a thin amount underneath eyes too.
  7. Blend with a powder brush
  8. Then take a white shadow and highlight your brow bone with it. (Just swoop a light amount across the bone below your brows.)
  9. Curl lashes and apply mascara to upper and lower lashes.
  10. Apply chap stick or lip plumper
  11. Apply nude or pink lip gloss.
  12. Set with powder.
