A little something I have tried: Despite disliking purple, here's a purplish look!

I don't like Purple, not at all... Its just NOT my color... I can never pull it off, NEVER! but my friends wanted me to do purple-ish look so here I am with purple... another pictorial for all my purple lover friends :)

Step 1:
Prime your lid at first. I have used Urban Decay Primer Potion in Original. If you are a bit heavy handed and still want a sharp line, apply a tape on the outer corner.

Step 2:
Start with applying a shimmery purple color which has a lot of glitters to it on you lid with a eyeshadow brush. if yo don't have any glittery purple, don't bother, you can add some glitters later. And anyways, my glitters didn't stay there after blending, so glitter isn't a big issue lol :P I have used Smashbox Amethyst using MAC 239.


Step 3:
Apply a plummish pinkish purple (sorry can't describe colors) on the outher portion of your lid, using an eyeshadow brush again. I have used Smashbox Frambois with MAC 239.


Step 4:
Apply a darker plummish purple, which has a strong reddish brown undertone on the outer V with a eyeshadow brush. I have used Smashbox Cabernet with MAC 239.


Step 5:
Slightly bring the plummish purple into the one third portion of your lid. I have used smashbox Cabernet with MAC 239. you can also use an angled brush to do this.


 Step 6:
Use that plummish purple onto the outer half of your lower lashline. I have used Smashbox Cabernet.


Step 7:
Use the plummish pinkish purple on to the inner half of your lashline and blend the two colors. I have used an eye shadow brush to do this. you can use an angled or a pencil brush to do this. (I was too lazy to change the brush lol)


Step 8:
Using a clean blending brush start blending the colors on your crease. I have used MAC 217. Its "blend blend blend" time!!! :D


Step 9:
Using a pencil or dome shaped brush use a shimmery pinkish color (that has a slight purple undertone to it) to the inner corner of your eyes. Bring it slightly to the inner one third of the crease and blend blend blend with the darker shade of the crease. I have used Smashbox Rose with a No 7 brush.


Step 9:
Apply a blue eye pencil on your lower waterline. As i have lost my blue eye pencil, so I have used Smashbox gel liner in Picasso with MAC 266.


Step 10:
Apply a matte highlighting color to your brow bone. I have used Smashbox Vanilla.


Step11:
Tightline your upper water line with a black eye pencil. Apply a thin layer of eyeliner on the lower lash line, and lightly smudge it to blend with the colors you applied before. Apply eyeliner and some good coats of mascara. I have used MAC Blacktrack Fluidline and Covergirl and Loreal Mascara. I have skipped clicking these steps as I already got tired! phhheeeewwwww :P

Here are some (actually a lot) images of the complete look. I don't have any full face look today, purple made me tired lol but I have clicked some photos with diffused flash, so I will categorize them accordingly :)

A little something I have tried: A bit peacock-ish eyes and my first ever pictorial! :D

yyyyyaaayyyyy this is my first ever pictorial. It was a bit chaotic to click while I was doing my makeup, but I did that!!!!!! whooooo!!!! Let me know if you have any suggestion for how to make pictorials more clear and understandable for you! and also, suggest the areas to improve on the eye makeup! :D

 **Prime your lid at first. I have used Urban Decay Primer Potion in Original. If you are a bit heavy handed and still want a sharp line, apply a tape on the outer corner.

**Start with creating a line with a dark blue shade, using an angular or an eyeliner brush. As I dont have any eyeliner brush, so I used MAC 266 which is an angular brush. Create a winged liner with the dark blue shade and fill up your outer V with the shade. I have used Smashbox Nocturnal.


**Then using a flat eyeshadow brush, use a bit lighter shade of the dark blue you have used previously beside the dark blue shade to create a graduation of color. I have used Smashbox Azure with MAC 239.


**Use a white or light blue eyeshadow base on the inner portion of the lid. I have used NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk and blended it with MAC 217, to even out the base.


**again using a flat eyeshadow brush, use a baby blue eyeshadow. I have used MAC Aquadisiac using MAC 239.


**Using a dome shaped small blending brush (you can use brush like MAC 219) apply a shimmery shade of bluish olive. I have used Smashbox Peacock using No 7 blending brush.


**Again using a angled brush push some goldenish olive greenish color (lol sorry I am soooo bad at decribing colors) above the winged liner you created with dark blue. I have used two colors here, one is Smashbox Zoom and another is shade number 32 from BH Cosmetics 120 eyeshadow palette (please check my BH Cosmetics Palette review for the reference of the numbering here); using MAC 266. Leave 1/3rd of your crease bare.


**Take a blending brush and blend the colors on your outer part. Blend blend blend! :D I have used MAC 217 to do that.


**take the dark blue and the liner or the angled brush again and recreate the shape of the winged liner.


**Take a little bit of dark green on the tip of your blending brush and apply to the outer part, and blend blend blend! :D I have used Smashbox Serpent and MAC 217.


**take the bluish olive shade and apply to the remaining inner part of the crease. I have used Smashbox Peacock. and blend blend blend again! :D


**Use a highlighter on your brow bone. I have used MAC Nylon.


**Tightline your upper and lower water line. I have used Loreal Infalliable Eyeliner in carbon black.


**Apply eyeliner and good coats of mascara. I have skipped this part as it depends on your choice of applying eyeliner. I kept the lower lashline very simple to emphasize on the colors on my eyes. If you want you can always use a thicker line of eyeliner!  and I applied concealer to clear up any fall outs on the lower part of my eyes.

Here is the finished look, followed by a huge number of images of the look :D
