"The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she knows." -Audrey Hepburn
Hey all! Purple is such a great color to use when I want to play up the more romantic and feminine side of makeup (vs a dark sultry smokey eye). I don't deal with pinks normally, so purple is my go to! Besides, I always find purple looks so pretty with brown eyes. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this look.

If you're looking for a neutral yet dramatic look, here you go. For some reason it reminds me of lions. Not quite sure why. Maybe it's the slight cat eye effect paired with the different shades of brown. I can't get the image of Nala out my mind when I see this tutorial. I'm strange, though, so never mind that! Lol!

.Most girls love to wear a smokey eye for special occassions such as proms, weddings, and even a night out on the town. There are a few different smokey eye techniques, but today I'll be showing you (what I believe) is the simplest to do: the gradient method. We're just going from dark to light, ladies. No fancy knowledge of how to "cut the crease" or anything in this video. That will come soon though. :) But for now, let's start easy. Remember, you can adjust accordingly. So use the products you have, change up the color if you want, smoke it out more on the bottom lash line for a more dramatic effect, or don't smoke this out too much if you want a more casual look. Endless options, just have fun! Here's what I used in case you wanted to know.

Use a neutral lip shade of your choosing or if you want to be a little bit more dramatic.. for my photo I actually threw on a gloss with a hint of red in it to complement the green eyeshadow. I used Lorac Lotsa Lip Gloss in Foxy (sparingly to give a sheer look).
