Purple Smokey Eye With A Pop of Color








So today I was doing a little mental survey of my stash and realized there are soooo many shadows that I've never even touched other then to just swatch.  So I decided this was the perfect opportunity to play around with it on myself.  I've used this gorgeous  purple shadow with gold flecks on plenty of clients but never on myself.  I'm over all happy with the outcome but next time i think i will tone down the pinks on the lid and use something a little warmer.
