Pink and Purple Eye Look with Opal Pink Glitter!

In continuance of my Viva Las Vegas evening/dance eye makeup series, today I present to you a third shadow look using purple, pink, and white opal pink microglitter. On my lips, I am again wearing Make Up For Ever's Rouge Artist Intense Satin Lipstick in #45 (a blue-based, cool-toned, cherry red).

Here are the brushes/tools I used:

From left to right: MAC 213, MAC 242, MAC 230, MAC 217, MAC 214, MAC 227, MAC 223, and my Shu Uemura eyelash curler.

 The above picture shows some of the products used. From top to bottom: Nars Pro-Prime Smudge-Proof Eyeshadow Base, Chanel Automatic Liquid Eyeliner in Black, MAC Opulash Mascara in Bad, Bad, Black, MAC Pro Chromagraphic Pencil in Rich Purple, MAC Paint Pot in Bare Study, MAC Pro Eyeliner Mixing Medium, and Trish McEvoy Shadow Transformer Liquid.

Here are the shadows:

From left to right: MAC Pro shadow in India Ink, MAC Crystal, MAC Pink Freeze, and MAC Crystal Avalanche.

I also used MAC's Stars n' Rockets:

 And MAC's shadow in Yogurt:

And here is MAC Pro's Reflects Transparent Pink:

 Here is a swatch detailing the Chromagraphic Pencil's color:

To start, I applied the Nars Eyeshadow primer on my entire eyelid, ie from lashes to brow bone. I dampened my MAC 213 brush with Trish McEvoy's Shadow Transformer and then dipped the brush onto Stars n Rockets shadow. I applied the shadow on my lower eyelids. The shadow transformer makes sheer shadows more intense. If you do not have a shadow transformer liquid, Visine works wonders too!

Using a MAC 230 brush, I applied MAC's India Ink (a deep, matte cool-toned purple) onto my crease and then applied a light wash of MAC shadow in Crystal on top with a MAC 217 brush. To make the crease shadow look extra smooth, I blended it with a MAC 227 brush.

On my brow bone, I applied a blend of MAC shadows in Crystal Avalanche and Yogurt. I did a thinner version of cat eye liner using the Chanel liquid liner. I did not want to create a thicker line because I wanted to properly showcase the glitter.

In order to properly adhere the glitter to my lower lids, I mixed a tiny dot of MAC Pro Eyeliner Mixing Medium (a clear gel) with the MAC Pro glitter on the back of my hand and I put it on my lower lids using a MAC 242 brush. On my lower lids, I applied the Chromagraphic pencil in Rich Purple. To set the liner and make it look less stark, I applied a light amount of Stars n Rockets using a MAC 214 brush.  On the corners of my inner eyes, I applied a touch of MAC Pink Freeze shadow (a frosty light pink) as a highlight. To finish, I curled lashes using my curler and then coated both sets of lashes with MAC Opulash Mascara.

Here is a detail view:

And another:

Interesting note, MAC's Stars n Rockets shadow looks pink in the shadow pan but in certain flashes of light and when photographed, the shadow looks lilac or lavender in tone.

I took another picture under the natural light in my kitchen and the pink tones are more evident:

I have been enjoying the creation of this eye looks and I have really been enjoying your feedback and comments! I hope you all like this latest one!

My next look is going to be a silver look with silver glitter! Viva is almost three weeks away and I am starting to get really jazzed!
