This is a totally off-the-cuff look. The only thought in my head at the time was ‘ooh, purple!’ I’m quite please with the results. I’m just glad I had the presence of mind to scribble down what I had used  so that I can re-create it on myself or another client. If you have green or hazel eyes, nothing will intensify you natural eye colour more than purples and plums. Don’t sleep on that colour. My brown eyes babes, just about any colour looks great on us, but particularly those that have a blue base (blues, purples, teals). Let me drop a little colour wheel science: the colour brown is merely orange with a tiny bit of black mixed in. Blue is the natural compliment to orange.  So any colour with a blue base looks amaaaaaaaazing next to brown eyes. Try it out! Remember, it’s only makeup so if you don’t like it, just take it off :) .

Check after the break for a picture collage of this look and a full list of products :o ). Also, this is another end-of-the-day photo session which attests to the durability of the products used :) . The only thing I had to touch up were the lip products.
