Hey!
I decided to wear a ark purple lip today. How can I pull it off without it looking too goth? I'm just wondering what I should do with the eyes as I tend to go overboard and have to do over when I just start "painting" on my eyes like that. I have lots of neutrals and a few bold colors. Would green eyeliner be too much? Or should I just do a highlighted eye with mascara?
p.s. do you like it? it's a combo of KIKO automatic precision lip liner in 512 (dark cool purple) and KIKO creamy lipstick in 522 (browny dark purple).
Posting picture in next reply...it never works on the first post!

It's more or less true to color. IRL it's just a tiny bit cooler.

Love it! I'd either just do mascara or highlighted eye with mascara :)

Beautiful. :) whenever I wear dark lips I usually just go with a nude eye and winged liner.
Reminds me of this Jordan liberty video :) http://youtu.be/71aqp-mlkEY

You know I'm all about bold looks and drama, I'd do a neutral almost no color eye, a precision wing in black, some wispy false lashes and a purple shadow smudged into the bottom lashline

Alyx, thank you so much! I'll watch it right now!
Kendall, I sure do! This is the darkest lip I've ever done...I love it! I like the idea of using purple on the lashline! How do I prevent feathering if I'm going out for drinks? should I just matte it out with blotting sheets just to be sure?

Or should I do some precision outlining with concealer?

That's such a beautiful color! And it looks great on your skin tone! :) I agree with the other girls a natural eye with a nice wing would look amazing!

I'd personally do a heavy highlight on the inner corner, define the crease lightly, winged liner, and mascara! It looks GORGEOUS! I love it. That color is perfect
