Purple Makeup for Brown Eyes

Hi Friends, hope everything is well with you today. Today, I am going to share to you my NYX Purple Makeup for Brown Eyes. This look is a daytime look perfect for office, wedding guest makeup, date makeup or just any occassion.

I have brown eyes and purple makeup really brings out the beauty of my eyes. I think purple makeup looks good on any woman. 

I am using my NYX smokey look collection pallette. I will be sharing a lot of NYX makeup tutorial with you in the near future. I am banning myself from purchasing another eye shadow pallette. I wanted to explore more and make the most out of this NYX Smokey Look Collection Pallette.


I believe it has a lot to offer and mind you I realized that this NYX makeup pallette has almost all shades alike as those with Urban Decay Naked 2 Pallette. Yes, it is. But of course, Naked pallette is more shimmery. I'll be posting another post on this matter very soon. So, don't forget to subscribe via email so you'll receive my future post update. 

Okay, let's go to our Purple Makeup Look. If you are interested to watch the video instead, just hit the play button below.



First of all, I wanted to discuss with you the shape of my eyes and face. I have hooded eyes and I am Asian. I think it is a bit challenging to put makeup on Asian eyes. I also have round face. I think understanding your facial structure is important. Ever wonder following a video tutorial and in the end the makeup just doesn't look right on you. You get what I mean? Understanding your face would help where exactly you should put your makeup. 

Step 1.
Foundation Routine
L'oreal True Match 
The Body Shop Primer Matte



Apply primer after moisturizing face. Let it set for about 3 mins. Then, apply your favorite foundation.

Step 2.

Applying of Eye Shadow

Using a gel eyeliner, line upper lash lines. My eyes look better with a winged eye liner so I winged it a bit.

Apply concealer to hide dark circles and blemishes.

Set with powder.
 

Curl lashes.
 

Apply mascara on the upper lashes. Starting from the bottom and wiggle in an upward motion. I always look down when I do this.

Using the purple eye shadow, I lightly extend it at the lower lashes to have a more defined eyes. Then, continue applying mascara in the lower lashes.


Using a pink blush and fan brush, apply blush on the cheeks extending it towards the tip of ear area.

I used NYX Bronzing powder to define the whole face. I have brown skin so I am very cautious in applying contour powder as it may just make my face look a bit dark. I am using fan brush and build up the powder as I go.

Apply contour powder on forehead, sides of  face, below cheeks and sides of nose.


For the lips, I applied MaxFactor Lip Balm.


Then, I choose this pale pink lipstick so my lips won't compete with my eyes.

Set whole face with powder.

To open up my eyes a little bit more, I added this shimmery purple eyeshadow at the inner corners of my eyes extending it to the middle lower lash lines.

Everyday Makeup Look #1

Everyday Makeup Look that is simple, easy to follow and fresh.

The trick here is to have a clean face and if possible flawless skin which I think a challenging thing to do. Anyway, a simple foundation routine would go a long way to make your skin radiant and look a bit more flaw less.

Just make sure that your foundation is the right color for your skin. I have this mistake before in buying foundation that is a bit lighter than my complexion which is TOTALLY wrong. Now, the foundation should also not too dark because overall it won’t look good.  The color transition of your face going down to your neck, shoulder, and hands shouldn’t have much difference. So, choose wisely pretties.

Don't forget to put primer first as this helps make your skin look flawless and this act as a protective layer between your skin and makeup.

Currently, I only have The Body Shop primer which works okay. I have tested Revlon Photoready and L'oreal primer and both products are really good but they are not cheap. I can't wait to buy them and show it to you guys.
