Lilac Eyeshadow & Winged Eyeliner Makeup Tutorial

Recently I decided to ditch my go to neutral makeup look and try out something a little more daring. As a teenager I loved wearing purple eye shadows to emphasise my green eyes. However, as I’ve got older I’ve moved further and further into neutral territory. It’s safe, I’m comfy there…there isn’t much room to go wrong. But as the saying goes, you can stay within your comfort zone where not much new ever happens, or you can delve into unfamiliar territory and discover new and exiting things. For me (as sad as this sounds), my new and exiting thing is that I’ve started to wear bright eye shadows again, in particular this lilac one with a slightly deeper purple running through the crease. It has fast become my go to look, who would have thought?!
For those of you who are colour confident, or even if you’re a neutral lover like myself and fancy trying out something new, this tutorial takes you through my current favourite makeup look step by step. Enjoy.

American Apparel 'Violet Panache'

I’ve been the happy owner of this polish for a while now and I must admit, it’s one of my absolute favourite nail colours for Autumn/Winter. There’s just something so festive about purple, glitter and metallic shades to me and this nail polish embodies all three. Now don’t worry, I’m trying my best not to get ahead of myself; I’m well aware that it’s a while yet until Christmas.
This colour has a vibrant metallic blue/purple base with the tiniest flecks of violet glitter in it. It’s definitely one of those shades that has you looking at your nails every five minutes in sheer appreciation of being a woman. Not that nail polish is solely reserved for we ladies of course, but you know; I don’t see many men walking around with kick ass violet glitter nails. Do you? Though in my humble opinion, I think everyone could do with a bit of this violet loveliness in their lives.
Okay, weird tangent over. If you happen to be after a pretty colour to brighten up the colder months, look no further! Violet Panache is your nails’ perfect purple pick me up.
