Lavender, purple & pink!

After last week's lipstick fun, I really wanted to play around with eye colours this week.

I had popped into Boots to pick up a new foundation & concealer this morning but, of course, I walked out with a whole lot more. Damn my addiction to makeup - it's such an expensive habit!

Amongst far too many other things, I brought a gorgeous Lavender eye pencil by BarryM, a purple felt tip eyeliner by Collection (SO easy to use!) and Rimmel's Wake Me foundation. Since I'd gone a bit purple crazy in the aisles I thought I'd try out my new purchases!

Here is a pic of my final look and below you can see how many looks I tried before settling on it!

 

First, I created a lavender eye look using the BarryM pencil. I started with a wash of the light pink (Shade 9) from my MakeUp Academy Immaculate Collection palette. I then ran the lavender pencil along my top lashes, winging the shape out and also under the bottom lashes.
As I was applying the colour I felt compelled to use pink mascara for some reason - it was seen quite a lot on the SS13 catwalks, particularly at Donna Karen's show. So I did.

Next, I tried out the purple felt tip liner, running it over the lavender line I had already created. It's quite a dark so I applied a darker purple along my bottom lashes (mixture or shades 24 & 7 from MUA palette). I also blended a little of the pink pigment (MAC Magenta Madness) used to create the mascara over my brow bone.
I stuck with the pink mascara for a bit then went over it with black as you can see below...

Which look do you like best? I LOVE the lavender eye with pink mascara and will definitely wear it again. I also really lke the bottom two looks and will be wearing the last one out for pizza tonight!
