EOTD: Soft Velvety Purple...

For my lucky last June EOTD, I decided on PURPLE! I've had a love affair with purple since my mid-teens, and although I adore bright and bold examples of this royal hue, I'm equally passionate about the more subtle tones I can bring out from this warm and rich colour - it all depends what you use as a base...


Just for a change I used MNY Color Tattoo in Pomegranate Punk for the first layer - I normally use a purple gel underneath, but I wanted this look to have more of a reddish hue. I stroked the pomegranate all over the lid, except along the top lashline - here I used my essence white kajal because I wanted this section to be lighter than the rest for some contrast...


Along the top lashline I added a shimmery purple from the MUA Poptastic palette...


Over the rest of the top lid went Highness from the SleekV2 Matte palette, and I also blended this with my usual Black MNY Master Precise Liquid Liner under the lower lashline ...


And here's the whole face - on the cheeks is Benefit Hervana blush, lips are ASAP Mineral Lip Liner in Three, Revlon Violet Frenzy, and Lacura Minerals Lip Gloss...


I was deliriously happy to find a purple top a few weeks ago that matched my favourite scarf...


What's your favourite purple eye shadow? Do you prefer blue-purple or red-purple?

Take care of you,
kats xxx

      roxy hon, thank you so much - I took this pic after I'd just been to the hairdresser for a new cut and blow dry, oh how I wish I could get my hair as shiny and smooth as this all the time! The necklace is actually a scarf that my darling parents gave me - they know my passion for purple & silver ♥

    Whoa, totally hot kats. As you know, purple would be my second favourite colour and that purple is my ideal. That's the same colour my halter dress was that I wore to some formal. Loved it so much that dress - wonder where it is now? Looks absolutely classy on you kats.....loving the whole look of it all and that scarf necklace is gorgeous. Top to toe you would be looking very lovely, I am sure.
    All I can say is Love, Love, love. :-)

      Hey Girlfriend, you say the sweetest things hon - thank you, and I'm imagining that halter dress, that kind of neckline was a fave of mine (before I made a conscious decision to stop revealing my decolletage) - so flattering xxx

      What lovely words Varinder - thanks so much :-) I guess you're not quite ready for a purple house yet hey? I decorated my room with this shade when I was 16 - at least it was confined to "my space" xxx

    Kats, as always, you are a vision of loveliness! I adore your whole look; but you know that turquoise/aquamarine and violet are my favourite colours. I really love the lipstick you're wearing and your skin looks flawless.
