It's All About Purple Eyes: Two Looks ft. Purple Prism

Hi lovelies and happy Friday! Today I'm excited to share with you all my first makeup tutorial. Since I will be showing two looks I'm keeping this intro short and sweet and I'll get straight into the tutorials. I made this with lots of love and tried my best to make everything as simple to understand and easy to follow. I really hope you enjoy!

Story:
Out of curiosity, I picked up my Jordana Metal Rocks Metallic Retractable Eyeliner (they simply couldn't make that name any longer) and started experimenting...until a little piece broke off. That's when the idea for this tutorial came about.

I wanted to create a smokey look that was very soft, easy-going and wearable for both day and nighttime, as well as a simple look that was still fun.

For the first look, I used the broken piece of eyeliner as an eyeshadow. Here is how I created it:

PRODUCTS AND TOOLS I USED

From left: Jordana Eyeliner, L'oreal Paris Extra-Intense Liquid Pencil Eyeliner, Maybelline NY The Rocket Volum' Express, Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion, Revlon Photo Ready Concealer & ColorStay 12hr Eyeshadow #03 Neutral Khakis

My EcoTools eye brushes, foundation brush & Sigma E30 (pencil)

RENEWED PURPLE PRISM: SOFT & SMOKEY

1. Begin with priming your lids and apply a light eye shadow across your entire lid, extending it to your brow, for your base.
2. Taking your newly created purple liner eye shadow (or regular eye shadow), apply it to the outer corner of your eye lid with your finger using a gentle "press and smudge" technique.
3. With a blending brush and some dark brown eye shadow, begin blending it along the outer corner as well as along the crease of your eye.
4. Continue until everything is well blended and there are no harsh lines
5. Highlight your brow bone with a light eye shadow 
6. You're done with eye shadows!
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
7. With the same eyeliner used for the shadow, line your lower lash line (if you used a regular purple eyeshadow, use a liner similar to that colour OR use the eyeshadow to line your lower lash line)
8. Taking the same brown eye shadow with a pencil brush, gently blend with the liner
9. With an angled eyeliner brush, use the brown eye shadow and press along your upper lash line (this will give a softer look than using a black eyeliner)
10. With the same pencil brush gentle blend the shadow along your lash line
11. Using your favorite black eye liner, apply to your water line
12. Then "tight line" with the same black eyeliner (basically lining the area under your eyelashes)

Bring the entire look together by applying your favorite mascara and you're done!

*For a brighter look, you can apply a shimmery light shadow to the inner corner of your eyes and well as the middle of your lids

THE DOUBLE LINER EFFECT

1. After you've primed your lids and applied a base colour, with a soft black eyeliner, apply along your upper lash line
2. Using a pencil brush, smudge the liner to create a softer look as well as create a slight wing by blending the liner outward.
3. With your purple eyeliner, add that on top the black liner
4. Using an angled liner brush, smudge the purple eyeliner across the black. (This gives a pretty iridescent effect)
5. Line your water line using the purple eyeliner.
6. Then tight line using the same black eyeliner.

Finish off the look with your favorite mascara and you're all done!

So that's it for my tutorial. I hope you enjoyed it and found it easy to understand and follow. I also hope I inspired you all to try new things with your makeup! If you recreate this look, be sure to let me know how it turned out. Also in the comments, let me know what you would do differently for these looks as I'd love to learn from you. Have a fantastic weekend!
