Here are 6 easy steps to a sexy purple smokey-eye!
Its Friday and time to add a little extra ‘ooompf’ to your every day makeup look, with a sexy smokey-eye in beautiful purple colors. Combine it with a nude lipstick or a clear lip-gloss, and you are about as ready as one can be for any party the weekend offers.
STEP 1
Start by applying a light matte eye shadow all over the lid, with a small fluffy brush. This will create the perfect base for the rest of the eye makeup, as it will even out the skin tone. If you have a darker skin tone choose a color that is one shade lighter than your own skin tone. MAC Eye shadow ’Blanc Type’, 150kr. og Nicci Welsh Eye Blend Pensel, 199kr.
STEP 2
Apply a light purple eye shadow on the outer part of the lid and blend it into the crease, so it creates a ‘C’ shape. Use a compact brush to apply it with and the same brush as in step nr. 1 to blend the edges. MAC Eye shadow ’Creme de Violet’, 150kr. og Nicci Welsh Eye Shadow Pensel, 199kr.
STEP 3
Apply the same light purple eye shadow underneath the eye with the compact brush, and blend the edges carefully with the fluffy brush.
STEP 4
Use a dark purple eye shadow on the outer part of the eye. Start by applying it with a compact brush underneath the eye and then blend it up into the crease. It creates depth and intensity to the eye. MAC Eye shadow ’Sketch’, 150kr.
STEP 5
Intensify the eyes even more, by adding a black eyeliner on the waterline of the eye – the lower and upper. After you have applied it on the lower waterline, take a small brush and blend it in with the purple eye shadow. That way it looks more put together and finished.

STEP 6
Apply a couple of coats of mascara – on the upper and lower lashes. Choose a mascara that curls the lashes and make them look longer. If they get a bit clumpy, it is okay as it makes the eye makeup look more raw and cool. Clarins Mascara Be Long ’01 Black’, 225kr.
