Purple, Pink, and Orange Eyes

This look was one of my very first YouTube tutorials that I posted early last year and I've yet to redo it til now. I've been wanting to for a while because I love it, so it was definitely time! It's kind of a smokey purple with a bright twist to it...and fairly easy as far as blending the colors goes. It was just about layering.

**Note: I used MAC's LE Top Hat eyeshadow for this look. The perfect dupe for it would be Urban Decay's Deluxe Eyeshadow in Frigid.**

PRODUCTS (all MAC unless otherwise stated):
BROWS:
Cork eyeshadow
Studio Finish Concealer in NW25
Maybelline Great Lash Clear mascara

EYES:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance (primer)
NW25 Studio Finish concealer (base)
Top Hat (LE--lid and lower lashline), Hepcat (crease), Juiced (lower browbone), and Femme Fi (highlight)
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Zero (bottom waterline and upper lashline)
Maybelline Volume Express Waterproof mascara in Black

Duo Clear Lash Glue

FACE:
Studio Fix Fluid in NW25 and NC25 (mixed)

Medium Dark Mineralize Skinfinish Natural (contour)
Trace Gold blush (blush)
Soft and Gentle Mineralize Skinfinish (highlight)

@Posh_Barbie_Doll@xanga -
what you said. this would be so much better if you'd just hinted the purple shadow underneath at the outer corners, instead of a solid line.

Dark make-up doesn't suit me. I looks nice on you, I much prefer lighter colors. I hate to agree with the others, but natural looking eyebrows are the best.

The colors are pretty, and I could see someone doing it for a party or something, but I'd have to agree, the brows look off compared to the rest.

But damn girl! You are great at applying eye makeup, nice job!

The eye make-up is really pretty, but it looks like you went over board with the bronzer, your whole face is glittery, like you just made out with a pixie, ha, but seriously, the colors together are gorgeous.

Although the eyeshadow is nice, you have too much makeup on... ): You'd look so much nicer if you lay off the foundation/eyebrow pencil, it's just too much.

The colours in the eyeshadow are lovely, though! The purple is a really nice shade.
