I attended an event last Friday for The Sold Project - check out their website and preserve young girls' innocence - and this is the look I wore.  My favorite color is not purple, but I grabbed a purple shirt without thinking and thus played up the purple factor.  I tried to take pictures along the way to show the process, but they didn't turn out as well as I hoped, so I just have a few shots.

As I've mentioned the difficulty in keeping my eyelashes curled, you will notice that I have mascara on in all these shots.  I spent about 10 minutes curling, separating, and applying mascara before starting on the eyeshadow application.  This mascara is Cover Girl Lash Blast.

Here's the complete list of products used:
Eyes: MAC Grain, Warming Trend, Smoke+Diamonds, Illegal Cargo; Smashbox Hot Date Trio (liner), Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara
Face: Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, MAC studio Finish Face Fowder; L'Oreal Glam Bronze Duo: Sunkissed Copper
Lips: Bobbi Brown Berry Mauve Lipstick



The look starts with a base of MAC shadows in Grain and Warming Trend


MAC Smoke+Diamonds and Illegal Cargo provide the color. Smoke+Diamonds was used just in the crease.  I did more blending after I snapped the photo.

Even though this is not the best angle, you can see the purple. You'll also note that in less than 10 minutes, I'm losing curl in the eyelashes.

I applied more eyeliner than normal.  It didn't dawn on me that I had purple liner, but discovered this Smashbox trio in my collection. The purple liner (top) completed my purple eyes.


After another application of mascara, I'm done.


Yeah...those are my eyes opened about as wide as I can get them.
