Tutorial: Subtle Purple Smoky Eyes

When creating a smoky eye, purple is by far my favorite color to use. I feel that with purple, you can create a soft, subtle look that's great for casual wear while maintaing that smoky eye effect. While other colors can be too drastic and definitely require a girl's night out, this subtle purple smoky eye look is perfect for a simple date night or lunch with friends or family! Keep reading to see what I used and how I accomplished this look! 

Products I Used:

1. Sephora Purple Smoky Eyes Palette
2. Urban Decay Primer Potion
3. Ulta Extreme Wear Gel Liner in Strut
4. Duo Eyelash Glue in Dark
5. Ardell DuraLash Accents in Bold
6. Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara

Steps: 

1. Prime your lid with the shadow primer.
2. Using a shadow brush, apply the warm tan matte shadow all over the lid.
3. Taking a crease brush, start working the dark purple matte shadow in the crease. Build until desired color shows.
4. Going back to the shadow brush, apply the lighter purple shadow to the lid, staying under the crease. 

5. Using a blending brush, use the warm tan color again and blend out the harsh line just above the crease. Taking the same brush, use the shimmery peach shadow to highlight the inner corner of the eyes and under the brow bone. Using an angled liner brush, line the eyes with a purple gel eyeliner.
6. Apply the glue to your false lashes and wait about 30 seconds before applying them to allow the to become tacky. While you wait, apply one coat of mascara to your lashes. Apply the lashes to your lids, as close to the lash line as you can.
7. Once the glue has dried on your lashes, go back and touch up any places that may need more eyeliner.
8. Apply one more coat of mascara to your lashes to adhere them to the false ones. 

Now you have a subtle purple smoky eye look that you can easily wear on a casual night out!
