Purple Sky On The Beach Makeup Tutorial

Good morning Harajuku Darlings! Today I will be doing a new tutorial of a makeup look I came up with. It uses the products from my July Favorites post, and I will be listing the product's prices and where they're sold on that blog tonight. Anyway, on to the tutorial :).

(I put some Expensive Pink -Mac- eyeshadow on the inner half of my lower lash line)

Step 1. Prime your eyelids and under your eyes
This step is essential in insuring your makeup lasts all day and is vibrant. I go between primers, but for this look I usually use Too Faced Shadow Insurance. ($18, Sephora and Ulta stores.)

Step 2. Apply a peachy-gold shimmer to the inner half of your lid.
I use All That Glitters for this step, and using any flat brush, pat the color onto the inner half of your lid. I use an Eco Tools Concealer Brush for this step. It came in a set, so I am not positive of its price, but it is sold at drugstores and Ulta, and is pretty cheap. In price, not quality. It's good quality... the price is cheap. You get what I mean!

Step 3. Apply a mid-toned purple frosty shadow onto the outer half of your lid, and blend into the crease.
I use Parfait Amour for this step. And using a small dome shaped brush with packed bristles (I use the Sephora Platinum Cream Shadow Brush, $18, Sephora). Pack the color onto the brush and pack it onto the outer half of your lid, blending upward, adding more shadow to your brush as you go.

Step 4. Highlight
Using a frosty white shadow (Sephora Eyeshadow in Aspen Summit, $12) highlight under your the highest point of your browbone and inner corner or tearduct.

Step 5. Black Pencil Liner
Using a waterproof pencil eyeliner in blank, line the outer 3/4 of your eye and your waterline. Don't put any liner on the bottom lashline. For this step I use Make Up Forever's Aqua Eyes Liner in Black.

Step 6. Bring down Some Color.
Before you smudge the black liner, smudge some of the purple color on the outer half of your bottom lashline using a flat smudge brush, not a dome one. You don't want too much color. Just a smidge. I use a Sonia Kashuk brush I got ina set a few years back, from Target.

Step 7. Smudge the Liner.
Take a black shadow of your choice (Maybelline's Night Sky, $3.99), and after wiping it off really well, take the smudge brush with the black shadow and smudge out your black liner. This is to create a smokey effect and make your eyelashes look thicker.

Step 8. Mascara
Curl Your Lashes and apply your mascara. Read my mascara routine for how I do it. I'm too lazy to repeat it.

And Voila! The look is done! Finish it off with whatever lipgloss/blush you like. Have a great day!
