Smokey Eyes with purple - Photo Tutorial


Hey girlssss :) I'm really excited to show you guys how I achieved this eye make-up! I was just looking through my eyeshadows and I found some fun colors to create a look with. My last photo tutorial was my Everyday Eye Make-Up, so this time I decided to go for a look that is a bit more daring. For a night out maybe? :)

Start off by applying an eyeshadow base on your eyelids, lower lashline, brow bone and on the inner corners of your eyes. Then use a bright color, I used a metallic purple, and apply this on the inner 2/3 of your eyelid.

Then take out some tape. Don't put it directly on your face, tape it onto your hand first so it's less sticky. Then place it underneath your eye, pointing upwards.

Now use a black metallic eyeshadow and smoke it out. Also blend it in with the purple.

Once you remove the tape you should be left over with a clean edge like this.

Apply a light shimmery color on your brow bone and on the inner corner of your eye. Also line your lower lashline with the same black color we used before about 1/3 in. Then use your purple color again and line the rest of your lower lashline and blending it in with the eyeshadow you applied on your inner corner previously.
Finish off by applying black eyeliner on your upper lashline. Then curl your lashes and apply your favorite mascara!

Products used: NYC Big Bold Mascara, Essence Eyeshadow Base, Love Alpha Gel Eyeliner, Catrice Eye Aquarelle Duo Chalks in #C02 Tomboy, Maybelline Eyeshadow in #709

Thanks for reading & see you next time! :)

    1. Het is helemaal niet pijnlijk, haha. Als je het eerst op je hand plakt, zodat het minder plakt, doet het niet zo'n pijn met eraf trekken! :)
