Purples, Neutrals, and a Harry Potter Look

Here are some recent eye looks that include a more vibrant purple, and the Gryffindor colors, just in time for the launching of the new book (haha). I really didn't make the colors very vivid because I wanted to keep my shadows as office-friendly as possible, so I had to make do with subtle washes of color. I just love the gold and maroon/cranberry combination. As always, I love my MAC shadesticks as base for the pigments. I used Beige-ing all over the lid and Corn shadestick on my lower lid, for maximum gold effect. I love how my shadows stay a whopping 12 to 14 hours on my lid without creasing and fading, with very vibrant colors to boot, thanks to my MAC shadesticks. I won't trade these babies for anything.

I have a similar colored eyeshadow. My palette has a few different shades of purple, and they're all so much fun to use.

Purple looks nice on you. ^___^

Thank you! Purple wasn't my favorite at first but it's growing on me. =)

[this is good]

nice makeup as usual :)

I think you got a perfect mix there with the Manx and you even mixed formulas. Love the finish! Purple is my ultimate favorite color since I was a little girl and if I could wear purple shadows like you, Id be on top of the world! Do you ever do anyone else's MU? Seems to me you should be a part time MUA. Haha!

I especially love the third look. The colors are all gorgeous- color without being too much. Sooooo pretty.

I LOVE your neutral eye look...gorgeous!!!!! :D

Thanks everyone. I think I need to make the gold and maroon colors pop next time. It was too subtle for my taste, which is a shame because the combination of gold and maroon is simply gorgeous. And yes the Subtle pigment (last one) look is my fave neutral look, too!
