Go casual with purple!

Hi there!

How often do you use a pop of colour on your eyes? Today is one of those days for me. I chose purple     for todays look because it's really nice and subtle (of course, depends on application!). 

What are the main products for todays look?

So as you can see, today I chose to work with a plumy purple eye pencil. 

Step 1: Let's begin with clean prepared eyes! Apply your foundation/concealer to brighten and even out  your complexion around eyes. Put a neutral eyeshadow all over your eyelid. Is can be a slightly shimmery one as well!
Step 2: Taking plum/purple eye pencil, line your upper lash line from the middle. It doesn't have to be neat. Just make sure that it gets thicker in the end and don't be affraid to put more product on!


Step 3: At this point we are going to smoke out the line we just made. For this I used a small medium density brush. You can also you a cotton swab. Blend it more to the outer part of the eye.
Step 4: Now, tip! when it comes to a smoky look and blending, it's easier to layer colours putting and bleding a bit at a time to avoid making a mess.
So now, line your eyes again and repeat the same process blending it away. Whilst blending, feel free to bring the color to your crease area and remember to keep the colour mostly in the outer part of the eye.

Step 5: Complex step! 1) highlight under your brows and in the inner corners of your eyes (it's optional, of course, but makes your eyes brighter), 2) line your upper lash line; I'm using a felt tip eyeliner - very easy to use, great for beginners :) and 3) apply mascara on both upper and lower lashes and...
... your eyes are done! 

This is a really easy and quite way to wear your eye makeup on those days when you feel like getting a bit more colourful!

Oh, and for the sake of my curiosity I went ahead and photoshopped the final look photo with different eye colour just to see how purple compliments each one. 

I personally think that a bit of purple is complimenting each one of them! What do you think? :)

Cheers and have fun!
