Spring lilacs




 I had very tired and red eyes today as a result of staring at the computer screen most of the day. So I was deciding quite a long time what colours should I use to hide the redness. Usually my go to look would be just some simple 60's look (I'm totally  "pin-ed up" this season) using some warm browns for contouring. But with this amount of redness would warm brown only make it worse...so what is the best solution to hide red? Find something on red colour scale...and I figured already some time ago that lilac, lavender of any other shades of purple make redness disappear. Therefore I reached for my not-so-new Sleek Garden of Eden Palette. In some previous posts I have used the greens of this palette so today I have used the purples. Light shimmery lilac all over the lid, deep shimmery purple in outer lid, warm brown smudged with matt taupe in outer V. For lower lid I have first applied lilac/lavender eye pencil all over my waterline and lash line, then I applied the shimmery deep purple from Sleek palette into outer 1/3rd and shimmery lilac to the rest of the lower lid. After while the lavender pencil from waterline moved to lash area so I applied amazing new product from Catrice Made to Stay Inside Eye Highlighter pen. Works just great. It is kind of nude waterproof pencil which perfectly highlights the waterline and also doesn't move. It brightens the eyes instantly. I am using this product all the time I put on make up. Rest of the face make up is same old same old routine, brows as well. I still don't know what should I think about Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade...product itself is great, I just find it looking way too harsh - even when I use shade Chocolate (which is actually 2 shades lighter than my black hair). Maybe I will give it few more tries to figure out how to use it the most flattering way. For the lips I went also for lilacs, I am really not a fan of purple lips but I guess that's okay with this look.
