Hi guys! I know today is normally Mani Monday, but the weather was soooo nice this weekend, I didn’t manage to paint my nails! So, instead, I’m sharing the makeup that I have been wearing today! I realized it’s been awhile since I’ve done a pop of purple under my eye, which is weird considering that’s my favourite look, so I thought I would do just that today!
Hi guys! I have another round-up style post for you today! This time we are going to take a look at the purple lipsticks that I have in my collection. Purple is a colour that, depending on the shade, some people are not comfortable wearing. I happen to love wearing purple lipsticks but this could be rooted in my deep affection for the colour purple.
Hi guys! I know I do a lot of purple looks, but I wasn’t sure what I wanted to film for this week when I sat down to film. I had done this look the night before when I had friends over and I ended up really liking it so I decided to try to re-create it.
Disclaimer: There is a section where I ended up going off camera so I had to cut it out, and then back track a bit and explain what was missed. I think I ended up making up for it. I don’t have a camera where I can see myself while I film so for the time being my husband has to centre it for me and then I have to hope I stay in the centre. We are working out the kinks as we go!
Hi guys! I have another purple look to show you today! I received the Kat Von D Metal Crush Eye Shadow in Danzig and the Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Ayesha this past week from one of my best friends so I was really inspired to do a purple look using them!
Hi guys! I normally have a Mani Monday post for you today, but my nails are an absolute mess today. I’ve been pretty busy the last few days so I haven’t had a chance to re-do my nails. So instead, this week I’m going to switch things up a bit and do a makeup look today and a manicure related post later this week.
This is a look that I did last week for Thanksgiving and I was really happy with how it turned out. I did a silver foiled lid, smoked out with a darker shadow, with a pop of purple under the eye. I didn’t really know what my plan was, I just started playing with shadows and this is what I ended up with. I was really happy with it and I’ll definitely be re-creating it in the future. I love silver and purple together. My original wedding colours were going to be purple and silver until I saw purple and turquoise together and fell in love.

I really need to play with the Makeup Geek Foiled Shadows more, they are just so nice to work with. I’m still using my finger to apply them because it seems to be the easiest way to get a nice, even and pigmented application.

Hi guys! Today I wanted to share with you another look that I did using the Morphe 35W Palette. I can’t get over how much I love this palette. There is just so much you can do with it and the price is incredible! Unlike my last look which was a very warm based look, this one uses grey and purples.
Products Used:
Foundation: L’Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation in Classic Ivory
Concealer: Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin Concealer in Ivory
Powder: Anastasia Beverly Hills Banana Powder (undereye) and MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Light (all over face)
Blush: Urban Decay Afterglow 8-Hour Powder Blush in Fetish
Contour: Anastasia Beverly Hills Fawn
Highlight: Too Faced Candelight Glow Highlighting Powder Duo (both shades mixed together)
Eyes: Morphe 35W Palette (See picture above for numerical references as the shades are not named) 1 (crease/transition), 2 (crease/centre of lid and under eye), 3 (outer crease/outer half of lid and under eye), 4 (a little bit on the outer corner), 5 (inner half of lid and under eye). Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Smoke (water line). Dior Show Maximizer (primer on lashes). Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara (lashes).
Brows: Milani Easybrow Automatic Pencil in Taupe and L’Oreal Brow Stylist Plumper in Light to Medium
Lips: MAC Up the Amp
Given how much I love the colour purple, I was really happy with this look. The deepening shades of purple gave the look a smoky feel without being too dramatic. Blending is very important to achieving the seamless transition between the purples. For my crease I used the Sigma E40, for the lid I used the Real Techniques Base Shadow Brush and under my eye I used the Sigma E30. I went back in and blended out the shadow on my lid with the E40.

Hi guys!
So today I wanted to show you my favourite [almost] all purple eye-look! Purple is my absolute favourite colour to wear on my eyes. This is because any shade of purple makes green eyes pop. Even adding purple to my under eye to an otherwise neutral look can really make a huge impact.
Products Used:
Foundation: L’Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation in Classic Ivory
Concealer: Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin Concealer in Ivory
Powder: Anastasia Beverly Hills Banana Powder (undereye) and MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Light (all over face)
Blush: Tarte’s Dollface
Contour: Anastasia Beverly Hills Fawn
Highlight: The Balm’s Mary Lou-Manizer
Eyes: Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. Kat Von D’s Dios (Innerstellar Palette – blended into crease), Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Psychedelic Sister (all over lid as a base and under eye), and Colourpop Dare (all over lid). Makeup Forever Smoky Extravagant (lashes).
Brows: L’Oreal Brow Stylist Plumper in Light to Medium
Lips: Colourpop Lippie Stix in Tootsi
The exact steps I took for my eye shadow was:
The reason I add the eye liner as a base is because I find the shade Dare to be a little bit sheer. This gives the shadow more pop. I do sometimes do this without the eye liner base for a less intense look.
