Purple and Gold smokey eye ...

Hey guys :)

I have a really lovely makeup tutorial today using purple and gold, this is definitely not a day time to look as it is pretty heavy eye look, the blending for these kind of looks may not be easy the first time but if you keep practicing you'll master it. Also a little tip using purples really enhances any hints of green in your eyes, and if you have a brown eyes can really help to make them pop.

First make sure you prime your eyes, I know I say it on ever post but it really does make the world of difference, today I used Urban decays primer potion, then pat on a gold colour onto the lid, don't worry if it's not really heavy just yet ,we will add to the gold later. I used half baked from the Urban decay Naked palette.

Take a matte purple colour, if you can find a brown based purple this would work best, and if not a soft brown colour would work as well, this is just your transition colour and is mainly for blending, I used Forgiveness from my complement palette from Illamasqua.

Blend a shimmery purple into the crease, outer V and inner corner, extend outwards in a cat eye effect, I used Rockstar from the Urban decay Smoked palette.

Line the lash line with liquid liner and take a darker purple on a small brush and darken up the crease slightly, this is where you can make the look alot darker then mine is if you like. I used Queen of the night from the Illamasqua complement palette. Also take some more of the gold and pat on the center of your eyelid. 

 Then add some false lashes for added drama to this look, I find when I do heavy eye looks fake lashes really help finish a look, these are the katy perry lashes, I think they are called kitty or kitten I cant remeber because I don't have the box but I know it's a yellow box.

Run some of the darker purple along the lower lash, add some gold in the inner corner, and use a purple or black eye liner on the lower lash line I used prunella from MAC, then add some mascara to the bottom lashes.

 For this look I think a bold brow works really well, take a dark brown shadow and an angled brush and fill in and perfect the shape, I used a dark brown shadow from this MAC palette, then highlight under the brow this helps to lift the brow, firstly I used a matte colour called kinky from the Urban decay Smoked palette, then I went over that with a shimmery colour called slink from the Complement Illamasqua palette.

For the skin use a primer, and medium to full coverage foundation, cover up any imperfections with a concealer and set with a powder.

Warm the face up with a bronzer and highlight the cheeks with a warm toned shimmery colour, I used my MAC minerilazed skin finish in Gold rush (unfortunately this was limited addition so you cant get it anymore).

Lastly for lips use a pinky nude lip liner to line and fill the lips then go over with a gloss with gold shimmer, I used  a gloss from rimmel called non stop glamour.

And that is the look finished.

 I will be doing a tutorial soon on how I got this wavy glamorous looking hair, it isn't as hard as you think.
