Purple Bronze Eye Makeup



For this look I used my regular Rimmel Foundation and Stay Matte powder with Covergirl blush as well as:

1) Primed eye with Ulta Jumbo Pencil in white along top and inside of eye, and then the same pencil in bronze along the outer corner. I smudged all this out and blended it in the middle and at the crease with my finger.
2) I then applied eye shadows from the NYX Mysterious Brown Eyes palette as follows:
a)light purple shimmer in the inside corner up to the crease and first third of my eye lid
b) from the edge of that third out to the other 2/3 of my eye lid stopping just above the crease I used the dark purple shimmer.
c) I used a very small brush to apply the dark bronze shimmer from the outer corner, along the crease and along the lash line on the outer 1/3 of eye. I also applied this shade with the same very small brush along the outer 2/3 of my lower lash line, just along the lashes.
d)I used a fluffy brush to blend all shades together so there were no hard lines and they blended nicely.
3) I used Ulta eyeshadow in a creamy white along my eye brow and in the inside corners of my eye and blended them out with a fluffy brush to add highlight.
4)Curl lashes and apply Covergirl Lash Blast Waterproof Lengthening mascara to top and bottom lashes.
5)Using NYX Skinny Line black eye liner pen, make the thinnest line possible along top lashes and outer 2/3 of lower lash line. This line should be right against the lashes and very very thin. You want to accent your natural eye shape, but not make it look like a dramatic eye line.
6)Apply false eyelashes as follows:
a) cut one set of lashes in half and apply adhesive very lightly
b)allow adhesive to dry for about 45 seconds so it becomes tacky
c)apply lashes so that the longest section of lashes is in the outside corner of eye, they should only go to about the middle of your lash line
d)make sure lashes are secured to your lashes against your lid, but not on top of the lid (you can see the lash "seam" in the close-up photo above, this is not what you want, I was having major issues with my lashes today, LOL)
*If you can't get lashes on your own lashes perfectly make sure that after about 3 minutes you take your Eye Liner from step 5 and go over the "seam" so that it flows along with your eyeliner and doesn't stand out too much.

Clean up any stray eye shadow or unblended lines and you are all set!
