Refer to the numbered eyeshadows (# 1-6) for the ones I used.

1. Apply a base all over the lid, the brow bone and the lower lash line. Go ahead and define your brows with a brow pencil or a powder, whatever you prefer.

2. Using a shader brush, pack a light purple shade (#1 - see palette photo) all over your lid. With the other side of the brush, layer a medium purple (#2) on the outer corner of the lid and wedge the shader into your crease to apply the same color, then blend with a blending brush.  It should look something like this:

3. Darken the outer-v with a deep purple color (#3). A pencil brush or any detail brush is good for this so you can apply the shadow precisely. Apply the shadow on the tip of the brush and starting from the outer corner, use feathery strokes to apply the shadow in a "V" shape. Then blend again with a blender brush.

4. With the same pencil brush, apply a blue eyesahdow (#4) on the lower lashline. I chose blue just for kicks... :)

5. Finish by lightly applying a pinkish purple shade (#5) to the crease, then a matte, white eysahdow (#6) to highlight the brow bone and inner corner. Line eyes with a black gel liner or a kohl pencil, then apply false lashes, if you wish. I also lined the lower waterline with a white pencil so that the eye doesn't look too heavy.

6. Top off your look with a peachy blush and a nude, pinky lip color and you're set for the night!

How do you like the look?

Have a Happy New Year!!! :)
