SMOKEY PURPLE EYE LOOK

SMOKEY PURPLE EYE LOOK

23 June 2015

It's been a very long time since I last did a make up post and I have been recently experimenting with looks etc etc! I will try to keep posting up some looks and PS I AM NOT AN MUA! This is my way of doing it and what I use, so heres my Smokey purple eye look! 

When I'm doing a heavy eye look, I tend to do my eyes first and then my face as it saves it getting really messy. First of all, I prime my eyes but I can't seem to find my primer (walkies)... I use Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. Trust me ladies your eyeshadow won't move until you scrub it off yourself! 

After Priming my eyes, I used L'Oréal Lumiere 502 all over my eyelid to give it that metallically taupe look to go along with the purple look.  

I then used L'Oréal Smokey 301. I put this from the middle of my eyelid and outer corners of my eyelids to give it that smokey look. I then blended in the both colours to even it all out and I added a bit more purple to give it that intense look but it's all up to you on how smokey you want it!

As it had metallically taupe colour, I wanted to add a bit of gold into it as well. So I put on some YDK from the Naked 2 palette in the middle of my eyelids (Blend it in if it looks patchy!)  and the inner corner of my eyes. 

I was wearing false lashes and they were Ardell Demi Wispies. I then went over the band line with L'Oréal Super Liner Superstar and Lancôme Hypnôse Star Mascara. (P.S Curl your eyelashes before you put the lashes on!) 

Now on to the face and make sure to clean away any eyeshadow that's fallen on your face etc etc! I primed my face using Laura Mercier Foundation Primer in Radiance. I really love the glow that it has and I've been using it for over 2 years now so it's my all time fave.

I then put on my foundation which is NARS Sheer Glow in Syracuse. This leave your face looking AMAZING! I love the glowy yet matte look and it doesn't dry your face out at all. I used the Real Techniques Buffing Brush to put on my foundation. 

  

For Under eye concealer I used 2 which were the NARS Creamy Concealer in 'Biscuit' and then used Maybelline The Eraser Eye in Nude. I used the Beauty blender for my under eye which gave it that flawless look (Highly recommended!) 

I then got carried away and added more to my eyes.... It happens, trust me. I put Booty Call under my brow bone and put Half Baked under my bottom lashes. I used the same mascara to do my bottom lashes.

 

I did a bit of contouring as well with the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit (Light To Medium). I used the shade Fawn which gave it that natural look and not heavy look. I just got this so I'm still experimenting!   

Blusher is a must! I used NARS Dolce Vita and it's my most favourite blusher of all times (It's hit pan and I want to cry literally..) 

Last Cheek product is Dior Diorific "002 Perle D'or" Highlighter. Guys this makes you glow and that good in every way possible! I love this so much as it doesn't make you look Tinkerbell and give you that subtle glow. 

To stop from shining or having an oily T Zone, I used Soap and Glory Instant Retouch. I brushed this along my T Zone and any where else I tend to oily on my face.

Finally I used MAC Velvet Teddy on my lips to finish off my look!

I would say that there is not a lot of products but there are and I tried to keep a mixture of drugstore and high end! I really hope some of you try this look out and get some sort of inspiration! All my social media links are on the bar above! Let me know if any of these products are your favourites and what are your cult beauty products?
