Get the Look: Purple Eye

Though all colors on the lids are hot for spring, purple or violet shades seem to be the hottest. Here is my take on the trend.

First, apply a base all over your lid and slightly under your eye. Get a pale pastel shimmer purple and apply it from the lash line up to the brow. I used Bon Bons (the cheap kind you get for $.99) loose shadow in Purple.
Use a bright purple (Milani Single Shadow in Shock) from the lash line to above the crease and take the color under the eye a bit.

If you want the purple to sparkle, apply Jesse's Girl Eye Dust in Cloisonne Violet (you can get this at Rite Aid) all over the Milani Shock.

A dark blue shadow (Sally Girl Shadow in Midnight) should be patted on your outer lid and blended inward.

If desired, cleaned up the loose shadow fallout with a powder brush and define the outer edges of your eye shadow using a wet q-tip.

Apply liner and mascara anyway you like and you're done!
