Tutorial: Purple Smokey Eye with MAC 'Hug Me'




                Hello beauties, Hope you all had a lovely weekend?
I am back with another eye makeup tutorial using purple and dark brown eye shadows to create a smokey eye suitable for a day look as well as an evening look. As I wore this during the day,I decided to keep the rest of my face very simple by using Sleek's 'Sahara' blush and MAC's 'Hug Me' lipstick but you can wear any lipstick you are comfortable with (pink lips will compliment this look perfectly for an evening look).

Step by Step eye-makeup Tutorial:
  1. apply an eye shadow primer all over your eye space including the brow bone.
  2. apply a dark brown eyeshadow base to the mobile lid and blend upwards towards the crease using your finger or a flat shading brush.
  3. use any brown eyeshadow closest to your skin tone as a transition colour and apply this in the space between your brow bone and your crease.
  4. press a deep purple eye shadow onto the dark brown base just in the middle of your lid and then a dark brown eye shadow on the outer corner.
  5. blend these two colours together using a fluffy blending brush to remove any harsh lines
  6. apply your highlight colour on your brow bone and the inner corners of your eyes
  7. line your upper and lower lash line using a black liquid liner or pencil and finally apply some mascara to your lashes(completely forgot this myself lol)and you are DONE. 
hope you like this look as much as I loved it....
