Smokey Purple Eye's for the Festive Season!

It's that time of the year again!!! IT'S CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR PARTIES! I love this look as it can go from day to night look, all you need to do is change your lipstick. During the day use a shade lighter and before heading out change the color to a deep darker shade. It changes the look dramatically!!!

I find the only way for me to pull-off the shimmer/glitter look I have to mix it with matte eye shadow. If I only used all shimmer/glitter it tends to darken my eyes and look so messy. Is it only me? Do you find this issue too? 

Here are the products I used to get this look! You don't have to use this products to get this look, be creative with your own makeup. Note: I was not paid to advertise these products. 

Step 1:  First prime your eyelids, this helps the eyeshadow last longer. Then using your purple shimmer start from the corner of your eyes and stop around the middle of your pupil.

         Step 2: Using you matte dark purple continue on until the edge of your eyelids. You can always start with dramatic smoky eye.

         Repeat steps 1 & 2: Repeat the steps until you get the intensity of the colour you desire.

      Step 3: Using your dark purple blend in your crease line taking to the centre of your eyelids. Trick of getting a perfect crease is to place your brush on your crease then try lifting your head up until you see your crease. Using a wiper blade motion  blend in your crease.

Step 4:  Following step 3 but using your shimmer purple and blend in your crease.

Step 5: Using no product take your blending, start from your lower part of your lid and slowly blend in (using wiper motion)

Step 6: Using your concealer clean your eyeshadow. I prefer using concealer as I don’t need to redo my foundation. Concealer can also help give you straight lines. You can even clean your eyeshadow under your eyebrows or under eye.

Finish you look with eyeliner (I’m using my favourite gel eyeliner L'Oreal, check out my previous blog to get the perfect eyeliner look), Mascara and Lipstick, I love how Revlon ColorStay is long lasting and it glossy finish.

Happy Holidays Everyone!
