Quick Tutorial: 10 Minute Smoky Purple Eyes
<----------------------------The Result!
This is a quick way to get smoky eyes with one of my favourite colours for brown eyes - purple!
In this tutorial I used:
RMK Eyeshadow in Shiny Purple
RMK Eyeshadow in Dark Purple
Becca Solo Shadow in Chantilly
Bella Pierre Eyeshadow Base
Coffret D'or Gel Liner in DB04
Nars Eyelash Curler
Helena Rubenstein Feline Blacks Mascara
In addition I used:
Lancome Teint Idole in Beige 04
La Mer Loose Powder in Translucent
Daniel Sandler Blusher in Coral Sun
Helena Rubenstien Wanted Gloss in 42 Tanned Beige
Super quick, super easy! No photoshop was used in any of this tutorial by the way, I just discovered Lancome Teint Idole which is bloody flawless!

Start with your clean eye:
Use the primer (I used Bella Pierres):
Apply the primer (yeah I was random!):
Get a nice even base:
Take your mid toned purple (I am using RMK Shiny Purple) which has a shimmer:
Put it over your lid and slightly above the crease. This will depend on your eye shape:
Blend in a bit:
With a smaller brush, get your darker purple shade – this is also RMK:
Add the darker colour across the lashline:
Blend in a bit:
Take under the eye too:
We will clean out the fall out later with some foundation!:
Use an angled brush and get your gel liner – I choose Coffret D’or DB04:
How stunning?!:
Line the top of the lid, with a thin line, extending slightly:
Add a layer under the eyelashes:
Line under the lashes:
Done:
Use a fluffy brush and get your lightest shade:
Add under the brow bone:
Curl the lashes:
Add mascara – I am using Helen Rubenstien Feline Blacks:
Done:

Hi Strawberry
Oh gosh I don’t remember – let me check! I think it was just a generic sheer pink gloss…
