Beauty Fridays: The Colour Purple

I loved loved loved Versace's S/S 2010 show. Beautiful prints that echoed the golden era of Gianni Versace. I especially loved the emphasis on the colour purple which included the eye make-up.

Cover Girl make-up artist Pat McGrath brushed Cover Girl Purple Pop eyeshadow on the lids, up to the browbones and under the eyes, tracing the entire eye. Then she traced a thin line of bright purple liquid liner along the upper lash line, and added two coats of Cover Girl Lash Blast black mascara. Sounds easy!
Cover Girl Purple Pop, $10 CAD

I did some research and it seems that Cover Girl doesn't make a purple eyeliner anymore. For similar shades, try eyeliners by Urban Decay.
Urban Decay eyeliner in Lust, $22 CAD

Urban Decay liquid liner in Ecstasy (metallic violet), $22 CAD

For those truly ready to commit to purple, try this gorgeous YSL's Lilac Sky palette set.

YSL Lilac Sky, $64 CAD

Cover Girl is available at Shoppers Drug Mart across Canada.
Urban Decay and YSL are available at Sephora.

Yay, you've enabled comments! I've wanted to leave a comment on your wonderful blog for ages now and never been able to. Incidentally, I'm sporting purple eyeshadow this morning. I guess great minds think alike eh? ;-)

Thanks for commenting Lisa! :) I was so surprised how much I liked Versace's collection! Haven't been a huge fan since poor Gianni passed away but I must say that I'm impressed. I loved all the purples, teals and mauves. It inspires me to wear more colour in general.
