Autumn the Strange: Violet

Hello again, everyone!

Sorry, I feel like I've been slacking lately, been a busy bee.

So for today's look, I decided to incorporate some of my favorite things: purple and sparkle!

Yay!

I had a lot of fun on this look, even though it's super simple! With that, let's jump right in!

1) Ok, so after I applied ELF's Eyelid Primer, I used Nyx's Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in 'Milk' and blended that all over my lid to create a base.

2) The purple is Makeup Forever in 'No. 92' and I used a domed brush to concentrate that on the inner and outer corners of the lid....like this...

(Ignore my messy brows hehe)

3) Now blend that crease!

4) On a flat shadow brush, I used UD's 'Half Baked' and patted that onto the bare center. Pack that on and then feather it a little into the purple. Be careful not to bring it too far over.

5) Gently blend the gold into the purple

6) I used UD's 'Skimp' as a highlight. A matte or very slight shimmery highlight works best for this look, that keeps all the focus on that pretty gold. (I like 'Skimp' because it has a super subtle shimmer and it's almost the same color as my skin)

7) I created my usual wing with Sephora's Long Lasting Liquid Liner

8) Clean up any fallout using a makeup and do your usual foundation and eyebrow routine.

9) I used a gold pencil from Rimmel to line my waterline, then I (carefully!) patted 'Half Baked' on top of that with an angle brush.

10) I lined the lower lid with another Rimmel pencil in purple and applied the 'No.92' on top on that with an angle brush. I took the purple and lined it up below my wing. This part is optional.

11) Last is mascara, which was Sephora's Lash Stretcher

And that's it! Easy enough! The thing I love the most about this kind of look is that you can switch it up, use different colors and it still looks pretty!

Personally, I paired this with a more muted lip color, but you could very well use a pink or anything you wanted.
