Get Eva Longoria's purple smokey eye




What you need

  • Eye shadow brush
  • Blending brush
  • Deep purple eyeshadow
  • Light purple or bright pink eyeshadow
  • Neutral or light pink eyeshadow
  • Eyelash curler (optional)
  • Black pencil eyeliner
  • Small blending brush
  • Black mascara
  • Cotton swab (optional)
Step 1
Apply moisturizer, concealer and foundation to your face before starting.

Step 2
If your eyelids get a bit oily, apply an eyelid primer, starting at the lash line and going all the way up to the brow bone. This will keep your eyelids matte and dry and will allow your shadow to stay in place.

Step 3
Using a shadow brush, sweep a dark purple shadow onto the eyelids, starting at the lash line and working your way up to the crease.

Step 4
Apply a light purple or bright pink shadow at the crease of the eye right above your dark purple shade. Using a clean blending brush, blend the two shades together, wiping the brush back and forth and in a circular motion.

Step 5
Directly on top of your pink, apply a neutral or very light pink shadow. This shade should go from above your bright pink to the brow bone.

Step 6
Apply black pencil eyeliner on the upper and bottom lash lines.

Step 7
To make the look smokier, use a small blending brush to blend your liner.

Step 8
Use an eyelash curler to give your lashes more bend.

Step 9
Starting at the root of the lash, apply black mascara, wiggling it before pulling it through to the tips of the lashes. Wait a few seconds for the mascara to dry and apply one more coat.

Step 10
Use a cotton swab topped with a bit of moisturizer to remove extra shadow. Then apply concealer over any spot you had to touch up.
