purple mood

Hello lovelies :)

Today I want to show you the eye make-up I am wearing fourth day in a row :D
I am not a huge fan of  purple, I do not own many purplish clothes nor beauty products, but sometimes I get in the mood for purple.
The starting point of this weird mood of mine was the moment when I painted my nails with Essie´s Sexy Divide, a  veeeery beautiful deep purple polish.
 I am a type of person who always tries to match her eye make - up or lipstick to the colour of nail polish she´s currently wearing. At first I hesitated whether is it a good idea to use purple for my eye - make up, but I definitely don´t regret it as it became my favourite for the last few days.
So here is the look:

I am sorry for the crappy photos, but I am still learning how to take good photos. Today I made approx. a thousands of them, but only a few turned out to be useable. :(


The way I´ve created this look:

Here´s an quick overview of the products, which make - up this look :)

1. Gosh Eye Shadow Base in 001 Matt is the first product, which I apply on my lid. It makes my eye shadows last longer and prevents against smudging of the mascara even though my base somehow lost its function.

2.I usually apply a small amount of Catrice Cosmetics Made to Stay Highlighter Pen under my eyebrow area to add a little shimmer to it, I don´t really use it as a highlight

3.I have applied the base eye shadow by Gosh (unfortunately I don´t know its name nor no. of colour because it came in a gift set of 5 eye shadows, on the picture it looks more brown, in reality it is purplish)

4. For the crease I´ve used the purple colour from the Gosh pallette, which was mentioned in my daily essentials post ( link here)

5. first colour in the fifth row served as a highlight for my under eye brow area and also for the corner of my eyes
6. to make it more dramatic I´ve used Catrice Absolute Eye Colour in 140 The Captain of the Black Pearl, only a small amount because it is very pigmented so I had to smudge it out for quite a long time to achieve the desired look

7. I wasn´t in a mood for liquid eyeliner, so instead of it I have used the third colour from the bottom row of the Gosh palette, but on my lower eyelid I´ve used Avon Glimmerstick Diamonds in Black Ice and smudge it out a little bit 

8. then I filled - in my eyebrows by Avon Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown and set it with Essence Lash & Brow Gel Mascara

9. then I´ve put on this absolutely amazing mascara, which belongs to the best mascaras I´ve ever tried
Rimmel One by One Volum´ Express Mascara in Satin Black

That´s all for today :) I am so proud of myself that I´ve managed to create a post of this kind. Needless to say, there are still a lot of things I have to learn mainly about photographing but also when I am creating a "look". But to be honest, this blog is just for fun and pleasure, I enjoy writing it and I am not driven by a power to create much better looks than the other bloggers. This look was for example chosen in a way to be wearable also on an everyday basis. Maybe sometime I will be in a mood to create something very dramatic.

Until then, wishing you a nice weekend!
