Dont be afraid of purple girl! :D I LOVE IT!... I always conceal my entire eye area very well..Conceal under ur brows and under your eye. DEFINITELY use some sort of primer or concealer on ur lids first to even out your skin tone. i'll post a pic of a VERY simple purple look i did and also a smokey one...if u have any questions, i will be happy to answer! thats what im here for :)

I love those looks. I suck when it comes to makeup, therefore I only have one look for my eyes. How'd you get those looks and what colors are they.

@ denae and ivelisse: almost all my looks are done with SACHA Cosmetics.. dont know if u ever heard of them but they are pretty affordable here. For the purple look, i placed a plum colour from AVON called "Plum". Its a cream colour. Then i packed some purple eye shadow from SACHA on top of that (covering my entire lid up to the crease). Then added a grey in the outer corners with a touch of black. Then liner, mascara and that was it!

For the smokey look: i placed the gold colour all over my lid, added some black to the outer corner and blended it super well. Added a light brown colour slightly above my crease to "tie" it all together and then i added a highlighter colour under my brows. I lined my top and bottom lashline and smudged some black eyeshadow on my lower lash line. All the products used were SACHA.

And thanks for the compliments guys..It means ALOT..i wanna post more looks but i get so lazy..haha
