This look is created using the Purple eyeshadow from the palette, it came out a bit black but I like the fact that it does not look black nor the name itself...Purple! It looks like there's a bit of everything, yes, deceiving to the eyes but that makes the eyeshadow mysterious! I like it when friends try to guess the eyeshadow shade I'm wearing!
Here's how I mambo and jambo with the
Ruby & Millie Palette
Ruby & Millie Palette

AMW Diagram

Step 1:
Prior to eyeshadow application, use any eyeshadow base of your choice, I've used MAC's Painterly Paintpot for this look.
Using Ruby & Millie's A Decade of Color Night Eyes, use a flat shader brush to pat on the Purple color on the crease area.

Step 2:
Using a blending brush, I swiped on MAC's Heatherette Trio in Hopping, the light pink color to blend in the harshline from the Purple eyeshadow.

Step 3:
Using the white portion of the Maybelline eyeshadow quad, apply the browbone area to create a "pop".

Step 4:
Line the upper lashline with Coastal Scents Gel Liner in Deep Plum.

Step 5:
Line the waterline and lower lashline with Makeup Forever's Aqua Eyes in 1L.

Another way to create a clean smokey eye!

Do not forget to curl your lashes and apply 2 coats of mascara
Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler
Maybelline Volum' Express Cat Eyes in Black

Do not forget to fill in your brows with your choice of brow powder or pencil. I like to create a bit of a thicker brows for smokey looks! Dramatic eyes, that's what I want!
I used MAC's Coquette eyeshadow to fill in the brows for this look.

For the Face:
Maybelline Clear Smooth Liquid Foundation in Natural Buff
Set with MAC's Mineralized Skinfinish in Light
using my favorite Ecotools Kabuki brush

Conceal with Dollface Cosmetics'
Concealer Palette

For the cheeks:
Arezia Palette mixing the light pink blush
with a darker reddish pink one

For the Lips:
NYX Round Lipstick in Tea Rose Top
with Nivea Care Gloss Shine

Tie your hair in a low side ponytail
Wear your favorite dangling earrings
and put on that smile!
