Beautiful Purple Smokey Eye

Smokey eyes aren’t just done with blacks, greys or browns. Have you ever tried it with purples? This is one of my favourite looks. Perfect for a wedding or a night out!

Purple Smokey Eyes How To- Sonia Ryan

Step 1: Apply a cream or liquid base shimmer highlight- High Beam works great for this step, from lash line to brow bone.

Step 2- With an eye shadow brush apply your overall colour.

Why not try a beautiful purple by Shu uemura. Don’t forget to take a crease brush and blend the edges of the colour shadow up and out.

Step 3- Apply dark purple liner or a dark black. Take the liner and line the bottom lashes as well. Soften the liner with a pointed brush.

Step 4-Highlight the inner corners of your eyes with a sparkly shimmer shadow. Contour the outer corners of your eyes with a darker shade of shadow. You can use a rusty bronze or a deep violet to contour with a fluffy crease brush

Step 5- Define the eyes with a few coats of mascara or a pair of FABULOUS lashes and voila, gorgeous smokey eyes!!
