❁ Purple Smokey Eye Makeup ❁

 Today's post is going to be a makeup look I have been loving at the moment, I have been trying out different products and colours, and I thought I would share the ones that I love. 

This is soft purple and sliver look, really easy to wear both day and night.

 To prepare my eyes for the eyeshadow I used the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion, which helps the eye shadows last and helps them keep their pigment.

(This palette is no longer available on the website, however you can get the single eye shadows seperatly!)

 In in the crease I used 'FISHNET' from the Urban Decay Deluxe Palette, which is a light purple with a pinkish undertone, I blended this into the crease using ecotools 'highlight' brush, this is the perfect size to get into the crease, I then blended it out using the ecotools 'large eye' brush.

 On the lid of my eye I used this sliver eyeshadow from Revolution in Frozen, I patted this on using my finger, as I found this gave the colour more pigment. I blended this with the ecotools 'Large eye' brush.

 In the outer corner of my eyes I used 'Crave' from the Urban Decay Basics Palette using the Real Techniques 'Shading Brush' then again using blending this in with the ecotools 'large eye' brush, then to highlight in the inner corner and the brow bone I used 'Venus'. 

I ran the same colours on the lower lash line, this helps open the eye up and mkaes the eye makeup look complete, It also creates more of a smokey look.

 
To finish the look, I used Supercat liner from Soap & Glory to add a winged liner, then for mascara I used the Maybelline Lash Sensational.  

 What's your favourite Eye Shadow Palette? 

Thank you for reading!

♡ My Everyday Makeup ♡

This is my everyday makeup routine, that i wear on most days however I do change up my eyes and lips depending on how I am feeling, But I'm just going to show you my typical everyday makeup. I use this look for College as it's quick and easy.

I first start off with my base which I use Bourjois Healthy mix serum foundation and I use the Real Technique Stippling Brush to apply it. 

I love this foundation as it has a light coverage which I love as I like my base to be a natural as possible but have a little bit of coverage.

 Next I apply Rimmle Stay Matt Powder to the T-Zone of my face to get rid of any shine and to keep my makeup in place and I use my ecotools powder brush to apply it.

This powder is amazing, it sets my makeup in place and gives your skin that finished look.

 I then go onto my eyes and as a base I love these two Colour Tattoos from Maybelline for everyday makeup, if I want light makeup I use the one on the left which is Pink Gold and if I want a darker makeup look I use the one on the right which is On and On Bronze.

 I then use my Naked Basic Palette, and I use the colours Venus (The lightest colour) in the corner of my eyes to brighten them, and then Faint (Second from Right Colour) in the crease on my eye. I use the Real Techniques shading Brush to apply the eye shadow. 

 For mascaras I use, the big eye's small brush to do my lower lashes and then Benefit they're Real! On my top lashes.

On my lips I use EOS balm as a base and then I have been really liking the Tanya Burr Lip Gloss in Smile, Dream, Sprinkle over the top.
