Purple Panic

Hello dolls,
This is my first official blog post and I decided to start off with a makeup tutorial
that I always get tons of compliments on and I think you girls will enjoy it!
I decided to call this look Purple Panic as I think it describes this look perfectly!
Below are step by step instructions on how to achieve this look as well as all the
products I used. I hope you all enjoy this look and please leave any comments below! 

Alright so the first step before applying any sort of makeup products to your eye 
is to use an Eyeshadow Primer to make sure your makeup lasts all day long. 
My favourite primer is the Urban Decay Primer Potion but you can use which
ever one you prefer. 

After applying your Eyeshadow Primer, I used 
NYX's Jumbo Eye Pencil in Yogurt
and applied this all over my lid and blended it out with my finger 
to give it a softer appearance. 


NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Yorgurt

Next I took the Urban Decay Naked Palette and used the shade 
Sin and swept it across the lid with a fluffy brush to intensify the golden colour. 
Sin is the 2nd shade and is a shimmery nude pink



Taking the colour Buck which is the 5th colour in the Naked palette on a fluffy 
blending brush, I worked it into the crease to act as a transition colour.

Using the colour Purple from NYX on the same fluffy blending brush, 
work it just into your crease. 


Next choose your favourite highlight colour, I chose MAC's Nylon and place
along your brow bone and the inner 3rd of your eye to brighten up the look. 


Onto the few last steps, next we're going to line just under our bottom lash line
with a few different purple shades. 
First I took Maybelline's Color Tattoo in Painted Purple and an 
angled eye liner brush and applied it to the lower lash line. 
Next I used the Purple NYX shade from earlier and placed it on top.
and lastly I used Buxom's eyeshadow in Schnauzer to tone down the brighter purple shades. 


Lastly line your top lash line with your favourite liquid or gel eye liner.
I used my Sephora Brand Liquid Eye Liner 
and then apply your favourite mascara and the look is complete! 



and here is the completed look! I hope you guys enjoyed it and would love to see pictures
if any of you guys give it a try! Please leave any comments or questions below!
