Prom Purple Makeup Look

It's that time of year again when I start seeing more limousines, pretty dresses, and nice tuxes when I go out for dinner. Seeing everyone dressed up and having a good time brings back memories of when I went to prom. When I was in high school, I attended four proms (two Junior year and two Senior year haha). I did my own hair and makeup all four times (and wore my prom dress two times Junior year and my other prom dress two times Senior year -- I wanted to get my money's worth!). I came up with a purple makeup look for prom, in case any of you plan to do your own makeup.

Here's a close up of the eye shadow:


EYES
MAC Paint Pot in "Soft Ochre" (entire lid and brow bone -- this will help your eye shadow stay nice and vibrant as you dance the night away!)
MAC E/S in "Parafait Amour" (inner and center lid)
MUFE (Make Up For Ever) E/S #92 (it's the darker shade of purple on the outer corner)
MAC E/S in "Carbon" (lightly blend into outer V to create depth)
MAC Fluidline in "Blacktrack" (as eye liner, or you can also use "Carbon" e/s with a small angle brush like MAC 266 to line your upper lash line)
(optional) lilac concealer on the inner lower lash line/tear duct to brighten the eyes

CHEEKS
MAC Beauty Powder Blush in "Stark Naked"
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in "Soft & Gentle"

LIPS
MAC L/S in "Lavender Whip"


This is the MUFE E/S #92 that I used on the outer corner. It's such a gorgeous purple shade. It's $19 USD at Sephora. I included pictures of this eye shadow below (with and without flash) in case you want to use a similar eye shadow color that you already own:


You could wear this look to a night out too. :) Have fun, whatever you'll be up to!
