Sparkly purple look

I'm generally a fan of purple looks.  It's an easy way to wear color without going over the top but can be easily punched up (hello, MUFE #92) for added effect.

This look was the result of wanting to try out my new Mehron palette but not wanting to wear anything too outrageous (like that gorgeous teal!) since I have to keep my makeup toned down at work for the next few days.  I also got to try out one of the detail brushes I bought at IMATS for my upper lash liner.  I liked the thin line it gave me, but found it a little too flimsy to actually achieve a thicker wing.  I'll keep trying though.

Please allow me to apologize in advance for my scary brows.
