Purple Smoky Eye Tutorial

Hello my lovelies, today I am doing a quick Purple Smoky Eye Tutorial using Marc Jacobs Eye-Conic shadow palette and playing with a Fenty highlighter. Since I have a hooded eye it’s not a traditional smoky eye with a full dark lid. Instead I’ve chosen to do a modified smoky with a silver lid. I’ve used the dark purple in the crease to minimize the appearance of my droopy/hooded lid. I had fun with this witchy purple and digging this killer smoky eye!

Hope you enjoy!

Until next time…
