  Step 1

  EYE PREP & FOUNDATION
  Prep your skin, making sure you remove all the oil from your eyelids. Apply foundation to your eyelids only, then lightly powder them.

• 

  Step 2

  EYE SHADOW
  Now apply a rich violet pigment to each eyelid, blending to just under the brow bone. Ignore the messy fallout, which you can clean up later. To intensify the colour, wet your brush.

• 

  Step 3

  UPPER DEFINITION & BLENDING
  Use black eye shadow or gel eyeliner to blend the socket line. For better blending, apply gentle pressure and extend the line outwards as shown.

• 

  Step 4

  LOWER DEFINITION & BLENDING
  With a fine angle brush, apply black gel eyeliner along the lower and upper lash lines, and softly blend. Then use a creamy white pencil to line inside your inner eyelids.

• 

  Step 5

  FINISHING EYES & FOUNDATION
  Use a baby wipe to clean up any eye shadow fallout from under your eyes, then apply foundation mixed with a luminiser. Define your eyebrows. Curl your lashes and apply lots of black mascara. Apply a cream coral blush.

  Step 6

  LIPS
  Finish with a matching coral lipstick.

Also, you'll definitely want to highlight under your brow! This will add more definition to the eye shape and make the purple pop even more. You can use a vanilla-like color shadow to do so.
And to help clean up any fallout easier, you can place some facial powder under your eye. I would suggest doing this especially if you've already applied your foundation to the rest of your face.


Just some suggestions!

If you skip lightly powdering your primed lids towards the beginning, the pigments/shadows will stick better, stay longer, and won't crease.
This is an excellent tutorial though! I love the purple color! You could also use just a natural lip color, to emphasize the eyes even more.
