All About The Eyes: Smokey Purple Look Using the Lorac Pro 2 Palette



A new palette has joined my collection! Its the Lorac Pro Palette 2 and we are in a committed relationship!



I'll do a full review after I've had some more time to play with it but for today I'll share with you how to achieve this fun colorful smokey eye.
A few things to keep in mind when doing a darker eye.
1. Brighten the inner corners with a shimmery shade in order to keep your eyes looking open and awake.
2. Use a light concealer under the eyes at the end to help the eyes from becoming too dark.
3. Keep the blush and lip color neutral. The eyes are the stars this time.



As always begin by priming your eyes with your favorite primer. Then using a fluffy crease brush put the color Light Brown in the crease to work as a transition shade. When you are working with dark colors you always want to start with a light shade in the crease to help it all blend.

 Now add a light cream base to the lid to help the shadows we are about to put on stick really well. I'm using the Makeup Forever Shadow Aqua Shadow Stick. Another great option would be one of the Maybelline Color Tattoos.

So you should end up with something like this, I also added a bit of the cream stick to my lower lash line to get it ready for the colors I'm going to put there.




 Add the color Plum all over the lid using a flat shader brush and a patting motion. 
This is such a pretty deep purple!
Blend it out with the brown shade we started with and a fluffy crease brush.


For even more color use a short flat brush to add the color Jade (which is a deep dark green) to your under eye area. 
Make sure to really work this color back and forth and blend it well.


Now take the color Buff, which is a cream colored matte shadow and use it on your browbone to add a bit of highlight. 
This also helps to blend the shadows together.


The last step is to take Beige, which is a light shimmery color and apply it to the inner corners of your eyes. 
Add mascara and this eye look is done!









That's all I've got for you today! 
Let me know if you give it a try.
