Purple Smokey-ish Eye


I got inspired to do this look while thinking of my youngest niece, Bethany. Her favorite color is purple so I wanted to do a complete eye look with different shades of purple and this is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy! :)


 
All of these colors, except one, are from a random Ulta palette I have. This look can be recreated with any brand with 3 different shades of purple. First, you gonna take a light, lilac color and place it all over your lid.


Placing the color on the liiid.
 
Next, a medium purple shade and blend it into your crease using a fluffy brush like the one above, and blend using windshield wiper motions.


BLEND, BLEND, BLEND

Take a crease brush, like this one from ELF, take the darkest purple shade and blend it into your outer V and slightly into the crease. This one is "Flash" from Urban Decay.

Blending awaayyy!

Take this fluffy brush again, and pick up a light brown color and blend it above all the purple to give it a more gradient look.

Blending some mooooore!

 Use any light, shimmery color and apply to your brow bone for a highlight.


Take a stiff, slightly pointed brush and pick up any black shadow and work it slightly into your outer "V" to deepen the look a bit.


Take that same brush and mix your darkest purple and mix it with a matte brown, and drag it a long your bottom lash line connecting it with the shadow on the side.

It should start looking like this.

Take a black eyeliner and line the outer half of your water line.
 
Add liquid liner to the top lash line, this is optional.

 

And your done! Super easy right? :)

Close Up!
