EOTD: Sugarpill Poison Plum...

At the risk of boring everyone silly, I'm indulging in a three-in-a-row hat-trick - have to meet my (personal) quota of posting eight EOTD's in a month, and tomorrow I may be offline due to a certain telco coming out to restore my long lost ADSL connection. Fingers crossed that my blogging activities will return to normal after the appointment, but just in case there's a glitch, here we go with my last look before August hits...

I only realised today that I hadn't posted a purple eye this month (gaaaahhhh!), an oversight I simply had to redress asap, given how many of you gorgeous gals adore this royal hue ♥ And so it was Sugarpill to the rescue...

I laid down a generous creamy base of Face of Australia Budge-Proof Gel Eyeliner - a nice and sticky takes-a-while-to-dry gel that gives me plenty of time to pack on the pigment before it sets, and keeps the whole look intact for 16 hours until I remove it before hitting the hay. This is such a pretty shade :-)

Over that went Sugarpill's delectable Poison Plum. As a rule, pinky purples are far more flattering on me than blue-purples - for starters, they make my eyes look greener (bonus!), and the heavy dose of red in the mix seems to suit my skin tone heaps better. I love both ends of the purple spectrum of course, but this one has the edge for my particular colouring...

In the crease I added Revlon Matte Aubergine - one of the oldest shadows in my collection, but still workable, and the pigmentation just as potent as the day I bought it...

And so the whole look didn't end up too dark and broody, I added essence white kajal on the waterline...

I think we've turned the corner on Winter gals - the days are getting longer, and the with Spring not that far off, I'm planning some bright and cheery looks in the weeks ahead. Hope July was kind to you all ♥

Take care of you,
