Purple Shimmer

Since it’s Behind the Lash’s birthday I decided to put together a how-to look using my favorite color for eyes–PURPLE!!

What you will need:

• Eye base
• Neutral shimmer cream eye shadow (Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow/liner in R.S.V.P.)
• Very shimmery-glittery white eye shadow
• Bright purple matte eyeshadow
• Matte brown eye shadow (optional)
• Vanilla eye shadow
• Purple eye liner (Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil  in Lust)
• Black mascara (BADgal lash mascara in Black/My Review)

Steps:

1.  Apply eye base then your creaseless eye shadow.  This guarantees a long lasting look, I swear by doing this.

2.  Apply white glittery shadow on lids from lash to crease.

3.  Apply the bright purple shade from the outside corner to about the middle of eyelid.  You will make a slight V-shape.  I also went in and dusted a little along my lower lash line.

4.  OPTIONAL: I used a pretty bright purple for my look here that I toned down a little for day with a light sweep of a matte brown shade just on the crease area.  This all depends though on the shade of purple you used and how daring you feel that day haha.

5.  Apply your vanilla shade just under your eyebrow to crease to tie it all together.

6.  Line upper lashes with a bold purple eye liner in a wing fashion for added drama.  I didn’t apply it in the inner corner because the white eye shadow makes the eyes appear larger.  Smudge a little along the outer lower lash line.

7.  Multiple coats of mascara.

I tied this look up with a bright pink cream blush and a bright pink lipstick.

Thank you for helping me ring in the blog’s birthday!
