Beauty Look | #FOTD/#MOTD Smouldering Purple!

Purple is one of my favourite colours to wear. It looks great on all skin tones and works beautifully for brown eyes! I put together a purple smokey eye look using the Giorgio Armani Quad #12. A mini palette of sorts that still allows you to create a beautiful makeup look.

Check out the pics and details below:

BROWS

YSL Touch Eclat to Define Browns underneath and on top

The reason I use Fluid Sheer as a base for my shadow is it makes for a great primer. Fluid Sheer is a liquid based highlighting product that can is used for, of course, highlighting, but it works beautifully as an Eye shadow primer. The "sticky" texture allows the powder shadow to adhere which results in a longer wear as well as NO creasing! I have worn this look for 12 hours now and it has NOT creased!

I also like to mix Fluid Sheer with my foundation for a glowing finish to the skin!

Such a beautiful look to do for a night out, a reception look paired with a darker lip or Date/Girls Night! Try it out and feel free to comment, share or post your version of this look!

Product Love: Vasanti Cosmetics Kajal Extreme in Purple Gem

I love colour and I love the amazing trend of Purple for 2014! Especially since this is such a gorgeous and flattering shade on everyone. 

My product love is Vasanti Cosmetic's Kajal Extreme in Purple Gem.  Here are the product features below:

• Waterproof 
• Includes a built-in sharpener as well as a Smudger
• Soft, smooth pencil for easy application
• Fade Proof & Long Wearing

This Pencil can be worn alone as a liner for the top and bottom of your eyes. It can also be smudged out all over on top of the lid.  Here is a pic of a look I did that incorporated this Pencil:

In honour of the 2013 SUPERBOWL, I thought it would be fun to share eyeshadow looks that feature the 2 teams playing today!  These looks follow the theme of NFL related eyeshadow looks that I did a while ago on the blog, click here to check them out too!

I have listed the products that I used to create these NFL looks. All the products used are from Vasanti Cosmetics!

Lid - Wonders of the World Concealer - O2 

Outer Corner - Eye Base - Kajal Extreme Intense Eye Pencil

Top Liner - Kajal Extreme Intense Eye Pencil + Cleopatra Liquid Liner

**Quick Tip - Bolder Pigment** By using Kajal Extreme as a base on the eye lid, when you apply the Shimmer Powder, the colour naturally intensifies on application.  Please note, I only applied Kajal Extreme to the outer corner only.

Brow Bone - Light shade from Golden Temple Eye Shadow Duo

Mid Lid - Gold shade from Tinseltown Palette

Inner Lid - Mineral Shimmer Powder in Sand Dune (Lined underneath the lash line)
