Purple for Fall
Purple is one of my favorite colors. Normally in fall I wear darker make-up all-over, but sometimes, especially in early fall, I still like to wear a lighter version of purple. For this tutorial I combined a medium purple with and orangey-peach and light pink lipstick. Unfortunately I did this one a few weeks ago, and now I don't remember exactly what products I used. So here's the look, and I'll list my best guess for what I used.
Products used:
Urban Decay primer potion on eyes
MAC Firespot (limited edition no longer available) shadow - substitute peach
MAC Fig shadow
MAC Chill shadow
MAC Bordeuxline eye pencil
Maybelline Falsies mascara
MAC Creme de la femme lipstick
Step 1 - Peachy eyeshadow brushed over lid with a Laura Mercier eyelid brush
Step 2 - brush a dark purple in the crease of your eye
Step 3 - Highlight under the "arch" of your brow with white or off-white shadow
Step 4 - Blend shadows
Step 5 - Line upper and lower eye with a deep plum eye pencil
Step 6 - Smudge liner with a smudge brush
Step 7 - Mascara on upper and lower lashes
Tada - finished!

Great tutorial, lovin' the plums and peachys! I'm leery of venturing off into color...I always end up resembling my little nocturnal friend that rambles through the trash;)

Thanks, Jeeda! One of my goals in writing this blog was to show a variety of color examples to get women more comfortable wearing color. So your comment was a big compliment!
