'Midnight Grape' Look

'Midnight Grape' Look

This was a quick look I did for a formal event. It's a simple smoky purple eye (which is on my list of tutorials to do) that of course matched my dress. The dress is from Bebe with shoes from Guess. There is some serious cleavage action going on here (at least as much as you can get from as small chest as mine). LOL! The lacy bra accents are actually from the dress and not an actual bra. Heaven forbid I show my bra in public! :)

I started off with NARS Smudgeproof Eye Shadow Base all over my lid up to the brow bone. I applied MAC Layin' Low Paintpot (creamy beige) all over my lid and slightly into the crease as my primary base. Real Techniques Base Shadow Brush

COLOR:

For the lid I used MAC Grape Pigment (shimmery dark purple) applied wet with MAC Mixing Medium. MAC 242 Small Shader Brush
