~SMOKEY PURPLES~ how-to....

 Are you guys ready for a step-by-step how-to for this gorgeous, spring appropriate purple smokey eye look?  Feel free to use what ever bright colors you have..All I want is for you beauties to feel inspired & to play with colors you might be a little intimidated by. So, her it goes. For this exact look,  you will need...

A flat shader brush (MAC 228 or 239)
A blending brush (MAC 217)
MAC e/s Stars n rockets, Beautiful iris, Indian ink, Shroom, Vanilla
MAC Black eyeliner (or any other waterproof eyeliner)
Urban Decay eyeliner in Ransom (or any dark purple eyeliner)
Scotch Tape
(Optional: Ardell individual lashes)

Here's a tip ~ For a more precise application, use a piece of  scotch tape and draw a thick line at an angle to create a shape you desire. It will be very messy, but that's okay. The eyeshadows will help with blending this all out.

Then, using a shader brush, put down "Beautiful iris" (lavender) e/s on your lower lid. With the same brush, place "Indian ink" (darkest purple) e/s at the outer corner. Use a blending brush to softly diffuse the color "Stars n rockets" e/s (pinky-purple) into the crease. And with that same blending brush, blend in "Vanilla" (cream) e/s on your brow bone. Now back with the flat-shader brush, use "Shroom" (frosty cream) e/s on your inner eyelid. Line your water-lines with the black & purple eyeliners and use the eyeshadow "Indian Ink" to set your eyeliners. And..Voilà. Your look is now complete!!
