Purple Fairy Eyes

Hello everyone! Here is a beautiful, sparkly purple eyeshadow look! It takes more steps, but the payoff is worth it.
Here's Kidest, my model once again
Step 1: I prepped her eye area using ELF eyeshadow primer. This step is necessary because I will be layering many colors and want the look to last without creasing or touch-ups.

Step 2. using ELF shimmering facial liquid in "spotlight", I covered her entire eyelid in white, until it was opaque.


Step 2: Using Urban Decay Cool Effects in a shimmery violet (I'm not sure of the actual color name - sorry!), i highlighted her tear ducts and under the brow area using my fingers. I used more than normal, because I really want the shimmer to pop, instead of just being an accent like it would for everyday looks.



Step 3. Using a white eyeliner pencil, I lined her lower inner rim

Step 4. Next, I used an eggplant purple eyeliner to line the upper lashline, super close to her lashline.


Step 5. Using a flat brush, I applied a bright fuchsia eyeshadow from the ELF palette to the entire lid, minus the tear duct area.

Step 6. Using a shimmery grey-purple, I applied this color in the center of her eyelid, then blended it at the edges with the fuchsia.


Step 7. Using a dark eggplant and a small, flat brush, I blended this into the crease and along the lashline.
Step 8. Finally, I lined her bottom inner rim with black eyeliner, focusing the heaviest on the outside of her eye, and applied a few coats of black mascara.


That's it! So beautiful.
