The Body Shop Baked-to-Last Eye Color #8 Amethyst

Here's a very simple smoky purple eye look with Body Shop Baked-to-Last Eye Color #8 Amethyst.

With Testimo Eye Bright Up Base as the base, I used a sponge tip applicator to apply the dark purple shade along the upper lashline and MAC #226 brush to apply the lavender shade in the crease and along the lower lashline. Both shades were well-pigmented and easy to blend. I used a light beige shade from a Lunasol palette over the browbone area.

Next, I used Shiseido Nourishing Mascara Base followed by Fasio Mascaliner GR700. After lining the upper lashline with Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Liner, I noticed to my horror that the Shiseido mascara base and Fasio Mascaliner had combined to produce the most horrendous 'spider legs'. It was not that my lashes were pointing straight down. Instead, they curved upwards from the lash roots and then downwards at the lash tips. It was the ultimate fail and I had to rub off the tips, losing an eyelash in the process.

For the rest of the look, I used Dior X4 Control Compact Foundation 012, Body Shop Baked-to-Last Cheek Color #2 Coral, Lancome Teint Miracle Natural Light Creator Bare Skin Perfecting Corrector Pen #1, Anna Sui Spot Concealer 01, Paul & Joe Lipstick C 66 and Loose Powder, and K-Palette Real Lasting Eyebrow 01.

Paul & Joe Lipstick C 66 is a sheer baby pink with some shine, not terribly unique but easy to wear with a comfortable texture.
