Simple purple EOTD, showing step by step

I have been asked several times to show how I am doing my eye makeup. There is nothing special about how I do it and I am not a makeup pro...and no matter which color combo I use I usually do the same steps and use the same kind of brushes lol.
I generally use the darkest shade in my crease and on the outer 1/3 of my upper lids but not blended out much, I first apply a rather solid stripe into my crease which gets softer by adding and layering the other shades later on.
I think this fits my rather small and close-set eyes best and is the most flattering look for me ( I also like just using one medium color on my lids and blended out onto my eye socket and then highlighter on the rest of my lid up to my brows).
I decided on a fresh purple combo today using Lunasol´s Sheer Contrast Eyes in Lavender Coral. I used all colors as I always do...I don´t like to mix and match different palettes and I always use all colors from a palette unless it exceeds 5 colors.
I apply my makeup in this order:
Eye concealer - a bit of powder around the eyes - e/s primer - eyeshadows - eyeliner - face makeup (base, foundation, powder) - eyebrows - mascara base and mascara - lips (liner and gloss/lipstick) - cheeks - highlighter 

My scary moisturized naked eye:

 
Using Coffret D´or Moist Coat f (or any eye concealer)

Using a light layer of face powder to set the brightener

Primed with P & J eyeshadow primer

Applying the darkest purple shade with the deep crease definer from Sasa, along my crease and on the outer corner, also along lower lid (2/3). The brush can be seen on the pic at the left side, pic posted at the bottom of this post

Patting the shiny lavender color on with the rounded thick brush from Clinique (middle on the pic)

Applying a sheer layer of the pink shade above the deeper purple on my eye socket

Using the sparkly yellow golden shade just below my brows blending it with the flesh pink shade. I applied the pink and yellow shades with my Laneige brush (far right on pic)

Lining my eye with the Dolly Wink liner

This is how I am doing my inner rims: I just place my Kate Square Cut Liner gently on my inner rims, close my eyes and then pull the liner carefully from one side to the other for a few times. I never hurt or irritated my eyes before but I find the shape of the Kate liner works best, don´t do this with a pointy pencil not to hurt your eyes and anyway, do the whole thing at your own risk!

Applying a layer of mascara primer from Majolica Majorca. 

Curling my lashes. I know this is an absolute no-no (to use the mascara base and then curl the lashes) and any makeup artist would flame me now but this works best for me as the curl stays and I never had a problem with lashes breaking off and I´ve been doing this for over 6 years now!

Adding mascara from Esprique Precious. I use 2 coats of mascara and comb in between to avoid clumps. It´s important to get the brush as close to the lash roots as possible and apply mascara on the back and front of the lashes.

Voilá! Finished eye just as you are used to seeing on my blog hehe:

 Main products and brushes used:

EOTD (VOV Castledew Shine Platinism) & LOTD (Lavshuca Rouge Essence Bar RD-2

I usually don't post EOTD (=eye of the day) or LOTD (=lips of the day) pics individually, I rather incorporate them in product reviews.
However I liked yesterday's look very much so I thought of posting it here:

VOV Castledew Diacut Eyes in Shine Platinism (dark purpley taupe, silvery metallic beige and flesh colors used), MM Lash Enamel Glamour Neo & base, Kate Supersharp BK and Kate Square Cut Liner in BK-1 (inner rims)


Lavshuca Rouge Essence Bar in RD-2 (and some random dark rose lipliner from Maquillage)

2 EOTDs... A little color =D

In the previous days you could really feel the approaching summer as we had moderately hot (for Austrian standards) and sunny weather so I was quite in the mood for some more colorful eye looks.
I was a little boring over the past months as I mainly went for neutral and smokey eyes and only did colorful or bright eyes every now and then.


The first pics shows Shiseido Hydro-Powder in Violet Vision, IPSA Cream Eyecolors in Rose & White (LE item from their 20th anniversary kit from Spring 2007) Majolica Majorca Lash Base and Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus. On my inner rims I am wearing Kate Square-Cut Eyeliner in BK-1 and Kate Supersharp Liner in BK-1.
I have to add that the Shiseido Hydro-Powder in Violet Vision is one of the worse cream shadows. Even though the HP shadows usually are totally crease-free this one does crease and the color intensity leaves a lot to be desired. It took me about 4 layers to have it show up like you see on the pic!


The 2nd pic shows the Maquillage Forming Shiny Eyes in #51 (love this, it's so gorgeous!), Canmake Gel Liner, Kate Square-Cut Eyeliner in BK-1, Majolica Majorca Lash Base and Fairy Drops Mascara (not that impressed with it but it's a decent mascara at least)

EOTD: Jill Stuart Gemmy Diva quad

Today I am wearing my new Jill Stuart Gemmy Diva summer quad and it's quite nice, though the other quads I have are better, especially the light lemon cream base color is very hard to pick up in the Diva quad while the satin shades in the 3 other quads are quite soft and give a good color pay-off.
Therefore the glitter shade on the very left is better pigmented and a bit subtler than the ones in the other 3 quads so it makes a nice highlighter.
All in all the result is pretty but not breathtaking.


Other items I used:
-Banila Co Eye Love primer
-T'estimo Bright Up base
-Skin Food Choco Eyeline Jam black
-Kate Supersharp liner BK
-Canmake Shiny Underliner in PK
-Integrate Pencil Eyes in PKsomething (light pink)
-Majolica Majorca Jewelling Eye Pencil in WT
-Majolica Majorca Lash Base
-Majolica Majorca Lash Enamel Glamour Neo
-Maquillage Full Vision Mascara

(EOTD = Eye Of The Day btw)
