Face of the Day - Violet Vision



A Bold Purple Eye



I was really pining after a purple pick-me-up this Saturday, so I reached for my trusty Urban Decay Book of Shadows, and got experimenting, with some blues and purples from the palette, to create a bold eye, suitable for day or night.

I used my TooFaced waterproof liner in Moss to line about a third of the way across my bottom waterline, to bring an element of definition, without making it too 'evening' of a look.






I simply applied the shadow, all the way up to the crease, with darker colours nearer the lashline and lighter, more shimmery hues settling in the middle, for a lovely light-reflecting glow. I then used my trusty Rimmel liquid liner to trace a thin line up into a cat's eye flick, to define and line, whilst giving extra size to my less than generously sized peepers.



I finished the look with a few brushes of mascara, and was good to go. Simple yet effective, and beautiful on every eye colour. 

I hope you like this mini purple-infused post, what is your favourite purple product? Lipstick, mascara?...Liner?

Let me know, i'd love to hear about your purple infatuations!

Love, Lauren xx
