Purple Haze

Today I wanted to do a look that would bring out the green in my eyes, so of course I went for purples :) I really love these colours, and I think using different toned purples actually works really well. When I first started experimenting with makeup, I kind of thought you just had to use a light colour on the lid, and a darker version of the same colour in the crease. Now I think blue- and red based purples work well to make a more interesting effect.

I used some shades from Urban Decay's Ammo Palette, plus BTFE Big Ego, which I saw swatched on my tiger lily's blog and instantly had to pull it out and use it. Such a pretty shade.





Products used

UD Last Call (metallic red-purple) - lid and lower lashline

Beauty From The Earth Swatches

Beauty From The Earth's eyeshadows are really beautiful, particularly their mattes, which are the nicest and smoothest matte eyeshadows I've used. I must get more! All are swatched over Pixie Epoxy.



Sunlight.

Indoor lighting. 1st set of swatches seems more accurate to me. Pegasus & Deep Thoughts are more yellow, Seafoam is a bluer green.

Second set of swatches is much more accurate. Showgirl is glitter, Truffle is matte.
