Purple Black Smokey Eye Tutorial

Hello Sweta, As you mentioned that you have oily skin and have brown eyes I created a purple smokey eye look for you to wear on your cousin’s engagement… As mentioned you’ll be wearing a Mustard colored dress so to add a little oomph I would suggest you to wear purple or plum eye shadow as it will complement your mustard dress. Your eyes are really pretty and big, and I even noticed the way to apply liner/kajal, so if I was at your place I would have done the following look. Please give a frank feedback, i’l not mind if you are not comfortable wearing this… Purple Black Smokey Eyes
Lets begin…

1. Main step is to prime your lids as it will give you a even canvas to start of…

Prime

prime

I am using Oriflame Dual skin corrector concealer… you have oily lids so try using something oil free and that doesn’t crease so that you can enjoy the fuction without worrying about your eyeshadow creasing.

2. Now roughly apply a black liner on you lids, near to your lashline as shown in the pic…. Quickly blend the liner before it dries up as you don’t want to be harsh on your lids.

Black kajal
I used Avon Kohl liner in Black.

3. Apply a black eyeshadow on the lower part of your lids, doing so will give a smokey effect to the look.
I used Incolor black eyeshadow

4. Now apply a plum shade on your entire lid, do not proceed above the crease.

Purples
I used Star Plum eyeshadow by Oriflame

5. Now taking pink eyeshadow on your brush start blending the plum and pink together.

I used a cheap Matte eyeshadow (cnt remember its name)

6. Now use your compact powder and apply it under your brow to soften the pink

Blended

I used Vision Silky pressed powder light shade

7. Highlight your brow bone concentrating more on the Arch of the brow.
Compact
8. Now line your upper and lower lashes like u usually do, curl lashes and add Mascara

Kajal
For waterline I used VLCC kohl liner

9. Blend the outer corner where your upper and lower liner meet, the encircled area in the pic..

You can see the difference !!!

      1. hey deeptima………….i kept staring on your eyes……………….
        and plz tell me hw do u clend the outer v of the eye where upper and lower liner meet………..???

      1. :-* :-* Deeptima, you are awesome.. The purple goes amazingly well with your green/hazel eyes… Beauuuuuuuuuuutifulll!!!! :inlove: :inlove: :kissblow: :kissblow: :kissblow:

  1. :hypnotized: :hypnotized: :hypnotized: I am getting a purple eyeshadow soon….SOOOON SOOOOOOOOOOOON…sighhhhhhhhhhhhhh :inlove: :inlove: Me want want want…Ratiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii….me no buy now..but me want..you want to gift me for Diwali kinds ?:-)

  2. Rads me too wanna buy purple eyeshadow…mostly that oriflame one..looks cool na..n we jus hav 2 pay for a single shade…me getting 😀

        1. I THOUGHT OF YOU IMMMMMMMEDIATELY…..cos you kept :announce: :announce: :announce: consultant consultant the other day naaaaa… 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 me searching for some other purples too otherwise I catch you for purple 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

            1. I saw Chanel purple…I will go to the grave if I wear that :pain: was wayyy too blingy purple…I actually went “Ohhh” and stepped a few steps back in shock 😮 😮 😮 😮 okay maybe its not that bad but didnt seem like the purple I wanted… 😀 😀 😀 I don’t get it…why am I explaining why I am not getting Chanel 🙄 🙄 🙄

                  1. Cali I think it might be nice…I tried purple eyeshadow once at a counter and I thought it looked quite okay..I mean, I thought I would look straight out of some comic page…but it looked prettyish only..not bizarre at all…which is good enough for me. But then again, I suppose it depends on the shade of purple – seems good on Deeptima though and in the swatches also.

    1. Oh… 😀 😀 still its not very small and is definitely bigger than quads kind…I never use all colours in a quad..so I prefer single eyeshadows – pay for only what you need and will use kinds 😀 😀 😀

  13. can anyone pls tell me how to post links to my pics here(in comment box)? i just wanted to share some pics here but i am confused about how to post them here..i tried to poat the links in above comment but it is not working..help me. 😕

      1. thanQ so much rati..soooooo glad you liked it.. :blush: i did this look about a month ago..i used ‘oriflame dual skin corrector in medium’ to prime my lids and used streetwear kajal as a base for the purple eyeshadow..and the eyeshadows i used are from some no brand palette which i bought from the local fancy store.for cheeks i used a matte pink eyeshadow from another no brand palette as a blush and used a bronzy brown eyeshadow to contour my nose and cheek bone(it hardly shows up in those pics) and for lips i used ‘dusty rose’ lipliner from mary kay to line and fill my lips and again filled it with a light brownish nude lipstick from lakme(dont know the number..it’s gone)..thats it.. 🙂

        PS: im so sorry rati for posting the links to my pics without your permission.. i was so excited that i forgot to ask you once before doing it..if you have any objection please let me know and i’ll never do that again..
