Purple Haze!

Hello all you beautiful people! I know it's been a while since I actually did a tutorial & none of my excuses will work but really, I was so so so sick and on top of that I was super busy working! But better late than never lol i'm here now!


Here's the look i'll be doing today! 

So the whole concept of this makeup look was inspired by the color purple obviously. How I picked this color was that I was browsing on the internet just looking at pretty pictures & I saw this picture (Shown below), & said thought to myself, I love purple, this is purple, lets do this!

I love how there's shades of purple in there, & just one color make it look so beautiful! 

Anyways, i'll stop blabbing now..

Let's get started! 

As always, we're going to start with a clean face, moistured! I usually like applying my foundation after my eyes are complain, just so cleaning any fall out is way easier. 

 
   Prime your eyes! I used my Benefit Stay Don't Stay Primer.

My first shade is going to be this light purple, & apply this to the inner half of the lid.

Pack on the color & bring a little to the inner corner as well. 

Now take a lightly darker shade of purple.

& apply that to the rest of the lid. Make sure you see the purple go from light to dark. Blend the purples together if there is any harsh line between them.

 Now taking my mineral eye shadow in ombre, it's a very pretty dull purple.

Apply that to the outer corner of the eye & take a a bit in the crease. Very lightly with a fluffy brush go back and forth with the color in the crease, and make sure to pull some onto the lid as well.

Now taking my Naked Pallet 2,  I used the shade Bootycall 

Apply that as a highlight on the brow bone & the inner corner of the eye. 

This is optional but I wanted to intensify the look a tiny bit more, so I took a fluffy brush & BARELY touched the shade Blackout from the Naked Pallet 2.


Apply that to the outer corner and with a very light hand start blending it.

  
Alright almost done! Now just apply your eyeliner top and bottom lash line, or if you just prefer the top that's fine! I winged out my eyeliner but that all depends on your personal preference. 


Lastly curl you're lashes & apply your favorite mascara & you're done ! 






Alright, so I do have some suggestions for the rest of the face, if interested keep reading :)

U se something to warm up the face after applying your foundation. I love this finishing powder in the color Sunkiss. It gives my face the perfect warm color.

Next, we don't want anything else on our face to overpower the eyes, so I would stick to something like MAC's blush MARGIN. I love love love this blush, one of my favorites to wear when i'm going out! 



& we obviously want a nice color on our lips but at the same time making sure the eyes still stand out. So I would pick my current obsession right now. This pinky nude color called Velvet Teddy by MAC. It is a Matte lipstick so applying gloss over it is all up to you! 

I hope you guys liked this look!
