EOTD: Purple and Silver...

To blend or not to blend? It's not usually a question for me - blending is what gives a look a flowing seamlessness that in most instances I regard as essential. But then there are times when I want the contrast between shades to really stand out, in which case I still blend, but stop at a point so that some degree of distinction remains between the two, and to add a bit more drama (who me?). And that's what happened here...

If ever there was match made in heaven, it's purple and silver - I just love that they don't compete or try and outdo each other, but instead work together to create a beautifully balanced harmony :-) My base was Mirenesse Mineral Face Color Gel in Virgin Violet over most the eye, and I built up the purple MNY mini (#533) over the top. On the inner corner, I applied bhcosmetics waterproof eye crayon in Frost, and also drew this along the top lashline for some added oomph, and to help my spindly lashes stand out a bit more. Over this went Lancôme Style Section - truly the best silver in my kit, and thankfully it came in a GWP freebie palette...

The Mirenesse Virgin Violet went on the waterline as well, and the MNY purple softened my MNY Master Precise Liquid Liner on the lower lashline...

And here's the whole purple and silver look...
