How To: Amethyst Ablazed

Hello Beauties,

I saw this look come up one day while I was looking for inspiration and thought that it was just to pretty not to share.  

"Makeup Used - Maybelline EyeStudio Colour Explosion in Amethyst Ablazed

1.    Apply a primer to your eyelids. This step is especially important when using vibrant, vivid shades like the ones in this palette.

2.            Apply the pink-purple (first lid color) to the inner half of your eyelids, stopping at the crease. Use a good brush to pack down this color, and be sure to stop at the crease, or even slightly before. Also, stop this shade halfway across your eyelid, about where the middle of your pupil is if you were looking straight forward.

3.            Apply the grape purple (second lid color) to the outer half of your eyelids, stopping at the crease. Again, pack this shade down well, and blend it with the pink-purple shade on the halfway point of your eyelid where they meet. Doing this will create a gradient, blended effect. You may need to go back and forth, reapplying the colors a couple of times to get a nice blended look.

4.            Apply the deep plum (crease color) to your crease. Using a fluffy blending brush, I applied this shade to the crease of my eye only. I did not apply this to the outer corner of my eye, or take it very far towards my nose. I simply used this color to create a gradient and definition in the crease. Blend out well.

5.            Apply the lavender (inner corner color) to the inner corners of your eyes, as well as your brow bone. This will open up your eyes and bring everything together.

6.            Apply the silver shimmer over your entire eyelid, patting it down.This silver shimmer has a clear base, so it will only put down sparkle and shimmer to your purple lids. Gorgeous!

7.            Apply the pink-purple and grape purple shades to your lower lash line. This step is optional, but I feel like it helps tie the look together, and bring out your eyes even more.

8.            Line your lower waterline, and apply mascara. The finishing touches! If you’d like to line your upper lash line, or apply lashes, it will also make the look pop. I just don’t often wear upper lash liner or lashes, so I didn’t apply them in this case."
