The Redhead's Guide To- Casual Plum Eyeliner

With fall fashions popping up all over the place I was so excited to start playing with all of the fun colors. Plum has always been my favorite fall color. Urban decay was having a sale on their 24/7 vintage eyeliners. I bought crash when the price went down even more. I think that plum is a great color for us redheads. Unlike navy it has more brown tones in it which make more wearable. This can definitely be modified for anyone else but I did do this on myself first with my special mascara (Just For Redheads Voyage Mascara in Ginger Red) so lets get started:

Step 1: prime your eyelids. I used Urban Decay Primer Potion all over my lids. I am still on the lookout for a drugstore primer that works this well but so far no luck.

Step 2: Apply Benefit Creasless Cream Shadow in "No pressure" on the lid.

Step 3: use Lo'real infallible 24hour eyeshadow in "endless pearl" on your brow bone for a highlight.

Step 4: Use a grayish taupe eyeshadow on your crease and blend. I used this matte one called "dove" by gabriel colors

Step 5: Apply Plum eyeliner to upper and lower lash-lines and smudge.

Step 6: Curl your eyelashes. I use a heated eyelash curler from salon perfect to keep my lashes curled all day. After its curled apply mascara and you are done.

I hope this tutorial was helpful. I really enjoyed making this look and it is definitely becoming a go to look for me.

EDIT: So the pictures that were on here previously were taken with my phone and I just really didn't like them. I found out not to long ago that after I had tried to delete this post from my tablet it hadn't worked and it was still up. I will try to get some nice pictures up soon but no promises because I am super crazy busy.
