Eye Poppin' Series: Brown Eyes

Hey guys!

I know it's been a while since I've posted. I've been pretty busy and have been trying to get over this horrible cold that has left me in bed for half of the week. :( I'm doing a little better now, so hopefully by the end of the weekend I'll feel back to normal.

So this is the last look of the "Eye Poppin' Series." I'm glad I actually finished it (even though it was only 3 looks). Yay me! lol This look is for all the dookie brown eyed girls. haha I'm only teasing. That's just what color I say my eyes are. Anyways, for brown eyes, shades of purple seem to do the best at making them really stand out. But in reality, dark brown-eyed girls can pull off almost any color eyeshadow. I think this is a really pretty look that can be worn all year round. Hope you enjoy and let me know what you thought of this series! Was it fun/helpful to you?

First, I applied a matte cream base for my eyeshadow primer. Then, I applied a light purple lavender shade from the top lash line to the crease.

Next, I placed a shimmery highlight under the brow and in the inner corner of my eye.

For definition, I took a matte medium purple/taupe shade and blended it into the crease.

To add more purple to the look, I placed this medium/dark purple into the outer third of my lid and also placed some in the outer third of my lower lash line.

To further define my eyes, I placed this dark purple (almost black) color that has purple flecks in it, into the outer corner of my eye and carried slightly underneath as well.
