Happy Day Loves! So, as most of you know Pantone released their color of the year a few months ago and I have been so stoked since it is a purple shade. We all know purple is my favorite color so I was super excited when my friend Beth and I decided that we were going to do a Makeup Collaboration. This will be my first makeup collab with her and I must say – I love how it all turned out. This look was fairly simple to create (as is Beth’s) and it could even double as a makeup look you could sport for Valentine’s Day!
Don’t forget to check out the makeup tutorial below or click here to watch on YouTube.

- Eye shadow primer/base: Tarte’s Smooth Operator Eye Shadow Base

OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE that lippy on you! LOVE!
thank you so much 😀
Love that lippie on you…well, combination of lippies. It’s really pretty. I picked up an OPI texture the other day – My Favorite Crush (I think) that turned out to be a perfect ‘orchid’ color on me. I was really surprised and happy. I was trendy for a hot minute!
thank you so much. Omigosh – I am gonna be on the hunt for that OPI texture now. I love purple. 😀
I was wrong – it’s ‘My current crush’. I got it at Ulta in a duo pack with a base coat.
sweet – I’m g onna check out Ulta’s website. I don’t have an ulta here near me. Thank you so much for letting me know 😉
I don’t think this is an easy color for everyone to carry off but you do it so well.
thank you. 🙂 I think that if the shade is mixed with something else that is complimentary to the person’s skin tone, it may work. Thank you 🙂
Don’t we all love purple? It’s universally flattering. Great makeup Honey!!!!

I’ve got to get my hands on that lipstick of yours…it’s absolutely beautiful!
it’s a combination of Milani’s colorstatement liner in fuchsia, Milani’s violet volt lipstick and then topped with a gloss called Angel food cake from NYX (butter gloss). 😉 I am so amazed at the color that came from it. 😉 thank you
