Vlog: Dramatic Purple & Green Evening Makeup Tutorial

Ages and ages ago, I was asked to do a tutorial on how to apply purple eye shadows. Purple shadows and liners have been a favourite of mine ever since I first broke into my sister's Barbie makeup set and emerged triumphant with purple and greens all over my face. Purple blush anyone? Lady Gaga of the 80s I was.

Flash forward to the present, and I'm still rocking the purple and greens. Some trends never die. Here's my take on a dramatic evening makeup look inspired by the vibrant colours of those flashiest of birds: peacocks. This tutorial is brought to you by amazing local videographer, Alex Yu of Ragin Ronin Productions. Check out his channel and subscribe to his channel and mine!






Be sure to stay tuned for our next video collabo, as I bring you a daytime way to utilize purple eye makeup.

If you have an idea for my next tutorial, please let me know either in the comments or email me!

Whoa...what a nice quality & professionally done makeup vid! You guys did a great job. I look forward to the daytime look now, since I don't have any occasions to wear this more dramatic look.

Great video...love the clouds in the background since it makes it more professional than seeing a bathroom or random space. I'd love to see the daytime look as well! =)

That would have been a cute picture--you after your victory over the Barbie makeup set. Did it belong to an older sister?

I have a confession, I skipped to the end of the video to see how it turned out--you did a great job! =)
