EOTW 1 – Bright Eyes

This post is my first Eyes of The Week post. And I am doing this as part of the Summer Eye Makeup Contest by Vanity No Apologies.

I am no expert on eye makeup and this is just my attempt to share with you what I did in a hope to get some constructive feedback. And if I win the contest that would simply be an icing on the cake!

First off let me apologize for the unkempt eyebrows which I tried to crop off but couldn’t completely hide.
In summers I prefer absolutely neutral look but when it comes to an evening out one really needs to jazz up the eyes and counter the boring dull days!
A purple smoky eye look is what I need to turn an otherwise dull evening into fun.


The base is done using the E.L.F. eyeliner and shadow stick in basic following the same technique that I used in the Simple Eye Make-up tutorial I did sometime back.

Then I used a purple shadow and covered the lid excluding the area under the brows. Next I took a pencil liner in black and drew a thick line on the upper lid and using a brush smudged it on the outer corners of the eye. I used the same purple and gently lined the lower lids.

Lastly I drew thick line on the lower and upper lid with a liquid pen-eye-liner from Diana of London (review coming up soon) I drew the upper line a little further out from the eye to give a slight winged look. And on the lower lid I did not line all the way – just lined it to about 2/3 of the waterline.

A closer look at my closed eye. As you can see the upper lid is also lined very thickly almost towards the center of the eye and it tapers off at the start and wings out at the end of the eye.


I hope you girls like this EOTW part 1. There is only one day left for the contest so hurry up if you want to enter.
