Soft Purple Eyeshadow for Day and Night

From time to time I like to use colour on my eyes. I'm not one of those fabulous beauty gurus who can blend a multitude of coloured eyeshadows and come up with an amazing look. I generally stick to a wash of colour on my lids with a slightly darker hue on the outer V to give some shape.

Here's an example.

Products used
Lid & lower lashline: MAC Parfait Amour
Outer V: Inglot #40
Blending colour: Inglot #493
Highlight: Inglot #29
Eyeliner: Jordana Color Extend waterproof liner in Black
Mascara: Maybelline The Falsies in Black

I wore this eye look yesterday to work, and in the evening I just darkened it a bit to go out to dinner with the husband.

Day look

Face:
Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse foundation in Nude
MAC MSFN Powder in Medium
Benefit Hoola to contour
Tarte Amazonian Clay blush in Tipsy

Lips:
Gorgeous Cosmetics lipliner in Entourage
MAC Lipstick in Hue
NYX lipgloss in Orange Soda

Eyes:
As above


Night look
The only changes I did are add black eyeliner to my waterline and extend the wing, plus change my lipstick. I didn't even brush my hair, coz I'm lazy like that. If I can get away without having to brush my hair then I'll do it! Oh and I also changed my accessories.

Face:
As above, but I did freshen up my blush (Tipsy)

Eyes:
As above but with black eyeliner in the inner rims and used to extend the wing

Lips: 
Gorgeous Cosmetics lipliner in Entourage
MAC Lipstick in Shy Girl


So, do you like wearing purple eyeshadow?

    I love purple eyeshadow but not on myself... Whenever I try purple, I feel clownish.
    Looks gorgeous on you though!

  7. I love this eye makeup combination! You must have a soft spot for purple eyeshadows, am I right? ;) I only recently started to experiment with purples on my eyes and I must say, they look amazing on brown eyes! I thought nothing could replace my blue eyeshadows as to enhance my eyes, but boy was I wrong! xx
