Today's make up balances a smokey purple eye with lilac lips. I adore the colour purple, it has literally become one of my absolute favourite colours to wear lately. And since Autumn arrived it seems an appropriate colour to wear. And I can't seem to stop wearing it!
I used INGLOT's Freedom System shadow in 346 to create a soft lilac wash over the lid and then contoured and underlined the eyes with purples of different depths from the Make Up Revolution I Heart Sin Palette.
For long lasting eye make up I ALWAYS begin with an eye primer. Eye primers are essential to me. They pro-long the wear of my eye make up as well as preventing smudging and smearing.
Second to my use of an eye primer is a cream base. A cream base will enhance the colour of eyeshadow very effectively, making it much brighter.
I blended a soft lilac - INGLOT Freedom System Shadow in #346 - over the lids. (Please note the Freedom System from INGLOT allows you to create your own palettes so the featured palette is one I created myself from their Freedom System shadows.)
For depth along the lower lash line I first added a base of Rimmel's Scandaleyes Pencil in Paranoid Purple. This serves in the same way as my NYX Jumbo Pencil. It acts as an adhesive base to enhance the vibrancy and staying power of my eyeshadows.
To contour the eyes I combined 'Future Proof' and 'Self-Indulgent' into the crease and lower lash line over the Rimmel Scandaleyes Pencil.
I added several layers of Seventeen's Blow Out Mascara to my lashes to frame the eyes.
The weather has been extra terrible lately so I needed my base make up to STAY put! To give my face make up staying power I began with Rimmel's Fix And Perfect Face Primer. If you'd like to know more about this primer I have a review on it right here http://vegan-cupcake.blogspot.com/2014/05/rimmel-fix-and-perfect-pro-primer-review.html
My base make up today was Rimmel's Lasting Foundation which gives me full coverage for the cooler weather.
To set my base make up I blended a light layer of MAC's Loose Powder over the top.
Today's cheek contour was TopShop's Blush in Good Girl. A perfect pretty pink to complement the lilac tones of my make up.
Only my FAVOURITE Lilac lipstick would do for this look. The GORGEOUS and incomparable D'Lilac by Lime Crime. Oh I love this colour so much.
Add a cosy oversized purple knit winter hat and we have the completed look!
