What I used Wednesday, Vol. 12: Sparkly Purple Liner, as well as fun With Matte as well as Dewy completes

I understand I’ve asked this before (oh, 10 or 12 times), however do you like to wear vibrant eye makeup? Like, lately? I’ve been quite adventurous with color lately. a lot more than I’ve been in years. At least two or three. I dunno… I went with a loooong period when all I wished to wear on my eyes was brown shadow, as well as that was fun in its own way…but I’ve been liking playing with color again. It’s time.

(I’m wondering, does everybody go with a brown shadow phase at least when in their life?? Hmm…).

Anyway, for the last couple of “What I used Wednesdays,” I went full-on colorful, however today… Girl, I just wasn’t in the mood to blend extremely much (it happens), so I kinda cheated a bit with a sparkly purple liner on my lash lines as well as taupe/bronze/brown lids.

Purple liner, particularly bright as well as sparkly ones like the one I’m using (it’s MAC designer Purple, an amazingly bright as well as sparkly purple liner that lasts permanently on lash lines), provides you a great deal of bang for your back in terms of effort. You’ll look like you tried truly hard, however ya know, it’s just a purple eyeliner.

I went “stash shopping” for this look, which is always interesting since it’s like digging for trick appeal booty/pirate treasure for things that haven’t seen the light of day in a while.

As far as shade matches go, I’m pleased so far. a lot of of the time to get foundations as well as concealers to work for me, I requirement ones with a lot more yellow in them, as well as I still have to modify them a little, however these are spot-on.
