I wanted to share my LOTD (look of the day) with you. I woke up to sunny blue skies today and it inspired me to try something different from my usual neutral look for work. I actually received a violet Matte Luxurious Kohl eyeliner from Revlon called 'Very Violet' in my January I Love This Box (a full post on the January box will be coming up shortly), and as I love coloured eyeliner, I couldn't wait to try it! I also used the Mirenesse lip gloss from my November Glossybox.
So here's what I ended up going with. It's actually quite subtle except when you're in full daylight.
A close up. |
What I used in this look was:
Face: Youngblood mineral foundation, Youngblood mineral radiance powder in 'Sundance', and Max Factor illuminating bronzer to contour.
Cheeks: Youngblood mineral blush in 'Blossom' and Youngblood lunar dust in 'Sunset' to illuminate.
Eyes: Bourjois Smokey eyes in purple (I used to middle shade), and Revlon Matte Luxurious Kohl eyeliner in 'Very Violet'.
Lips: Mirenesse Lip Gloss in 'Hello Kitten'.
And there you have it! I hope that's given you some ideas on how to wear a coloured eyeliner!
And here's a glimpse of me with my new Calvin Klein glasses...do I look like a nerdy librarian?
How often do you wear a coloured liner and how do you prefer to wear it?
Much love,
MM.

Ohhh i love your eyeliner technique!! Maybe you could do a post on it :) XO
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, gorgeous girl! The liner looks fab - please do a how-to!
ReplyDeletePurple is my favourite colour but I can't pull it off as makeup unfortunately so I have to settle for clothes. Once I was wearing purple bikini, havaiianas, sunnies and dress so a little bit of purple overkill...;) XXX
Amy, coming right up, as soon as I work out the best method to describe it!
ReplyDeleteIngrid, you're too kind! I'm sure you can, you just have to experiment a bit to find something that works specifically for you!
A little purple overkill never hurt anyone... ;)
