Purple and Pink Valentine's Day Makeup


Hey guys! It's been so long since the last time I put up a post, and I'm super sorry about that, but I really needed to take that time to myself. This last month has really allowed me the time to let myself relax and regroup, and find some new inspiration. So today's look is inspired by Valentine's Day and it's classic pink and purple colors. I've really felt like I've been stuck in a rut, using the same neutral colors everyday, so using the bright colors really felt nice. I'm so happy with how beautiful this look came out to be, and trust me when I tell you that these pictures don't do any justice for how vibrant and gorgeous these colors really are. I've really missed all you guys and I'm so happy to be back on here, sharing my looks with all of yall. I also want to remind all of you to follow me on instagram. I'm always posting looks on there, as well as mini reviews and other things. My instagram is: talesofamakeupjunkie

How To: EYES
-Apply a primer or base all over your lids and underneath the lower lash line.
-Highlight under your brow with a matte cream shadow, then apply a matte light pink shadow into your upper crease to act as your blending shade.
-On a large fluffy brush, blend a light matte lavender shadow right on top of your blending shade, blending it all through out your crease.
-Next, take a medium matte purple and apply it into your crease also. You want to make sure there are no harsh lines and that the crease blends out softly.
-Apply a medium, vibrant matte purple and apply it into your socket, blending it up slightly.
-Use a sparkly magenta pink shadow and apply it to your lids, making sure to leave the very inner and outer corner opens. I used Sugarpill Magentric loose shadow.
-Apply a very shimmery pale pink shadow into the inner corner, making sure to blend it around your tear ducts as well.
-Take a deep, matte purple shadow on a small brush and apply it right into the socket line and outer corner. You want this shadow to give the illusion of a soft cut-crease; so apply it, blend it slightly into your other crease colors, then apply it again. Make sure you also blend it into the magenta color on the lid at the outer corners.
-On the lower lash, apply the vibrant purple from inner to outer corner, then apply the darkest purple into the very outer corner, making sure to connect it to your upper lid.
-Rim your eyes with a black liner, then add a slightly dramatic liquid cat-eye liner to your upper lid. You can use gel liner, or no eye liner if it's easier for you.
-Add lots of mascara to your top and bottom lashes to complete the eyes.
