Does anybody else love Autumn purple because these three colours are ALWAYS in the shops? Well I do! I took these pics a while ago, but never got around to posting them up.

YOU WILL NEED
Black eyeliner (pencil and liquid) (UD "Zero",Prestige liquid eyeliner)
Black eyeshadow (Fyrinnae "Harlequin")
Dark purple eyeshadow (Fyr. "Oberon")
Bright purple eyeshadow (MAC "Violet" pigment)
Gold eyeshadow (I think I used Fyr. "Bastet)
Eyeshadow primer (UDPP)
Golden highlight (MAC "Vanilla" pigment)
Tape
Face makeup as usual
Nudey lipstick/ gloss (Custom compact)

METHOD
1) Prime the eyes as usual and apply tape lightly from where your eyebrow ends to the outer eye.

2) Fill in the lid and just past the crease with black pencil eyeliner - don't be scared! I know it looks awful at first, but trust me, it makes a fabulous base and deepens eyeshadow.

At this point you should look super sexy.

*cough*

3) Apply your highlight above where the black stops and lightly blend the shape away, just to soften the edges.

4) Now apply your gold to the inner lid/ crease.

5) Apply purple to the outer lid and black to the outer crease. Blend!

6) Now peel off the tape gently to reveal one super straight and flashy line.

7) Apply liquid eyeliner with a flick, as usual.

8) Apply bright purple and black to the lower lashline, as shown. Smallangle brushes are ace for this!

9) Apply pencil eyeliner to the waterline and set it with black eyeshadow so it doesn't budge!

10) Curl and mascara those lashes! OR apply falsies, whichever you prefer.

11) Apply your foundation as usual, I prefer a liquid formula because they're so easy to blend and give a brilliant finish.

12) Suck in your cheeks and apply your contour, this could be a shade 2 tones darker than your foundation or just your blush applied darker. This amps up your cheekbones.

13) SMILE! And then apply your blush to the apples of your cheek and blend downwards into your contour.

14) Now buff in your finsihing powder for a natural looking, soft finish.

15) Fill in your eyebrows. I use eyeshadow (2 tones lighter for dark hair, 2 tones darker for light hair) and clear mascara to set them in place.

16) Apply a nude lippy or gloss.Now you're finished! Enjoy!
