All About Purple - FOTD

Nars Desire (L) and Amour (R)

I posted a picture on instagram at the weekend and thought I would share the products used.

Until recently I have always worn brown and gold shades, going for a neutral eye and the thought of anything else made my come out in a cold sweat! With make up looks steering to a more plum and purple tone I thought I should give it a go.

Face
  • Laura Mercier Silk Crème foundation.
  • Crown Brush Concealer pallet to contour.
  • Nars Laguna Bronzer. 
  • Nars blush in Amour.
Eyes
  • HD Brow pallet.
  • Elf eye shadow primer on the lid and under eyes.
  • Mac Cranberry in the outer corners of the lid and under eye.
  • Mac Woodwinked in the inner corners of the lid and under eye.
  • Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara.
  • Top Lashes - Semi Permanent Eyelash Extensions
Lips
  • Revoln lip butter in Peach Parfait.
  • BeautyUk lipstick in Plumalicious.*
I'm not one to wear a dark lip so I used the Revlon lip butter in the centre and the darker plum in the corners to create a soft ombre lip. I find combining the shades like this makes it a lot more wearable.

What do you think of this plum look? What is your favourite plum shade?

    Looking ridiculously pretty here Lou!! You'd probably like Mac Plumful on your lips-it's not too dark or bright. And I 100% recommend you get Mac Sable eyeshadow-it's in my monthly faves post which I will put up soon but it's a mid bronze with the slightest hint of plum pearl through it, it's absolutely stunning and would look fab on you

      The LM gives a great flawless finish, I really like it but the shade I bought is too light so I can only wear it in winter! :( xx
