5-Minute Makeup: Purples
5-Minute Makeup: Purples
Here is a really quick look I did the other day before I went to have dinner with my family (my grandma is visiting!) 
I’m testing out NARS’ Multiple Tint in Cadaques right now, so yes I will review it, just give me some time to test out the wear!
You will need the following…
- Eyes: NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base (neutral eyeshadow base), MAC Seedy Pearl Eyeshadow (shimmery pinky-purple), MAC Fig. 1 Eyeshadow (eggplant), MAC Hush Eyeshadow (pink-toned highlighter), Make Up For Ever #4L Aqua Eyes (eggplant), MAC Plushlash Mascara (black)
- Face: Make Up For Ever HD Foundation (140), Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder (translucent)
- Cheeks: NARS Cadaques Multiple Tint (flushed raspberry)
- Lips: MAC Sweetie Lipstick (pink), MAC Nymphette Lipglass (peachy-pink)
- Brushes: 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 226 (fluffy crease brush), 219 (pointed crease brush), 116 (dense blush brush)
For eyes, start by applying Smudgeproof as your eyeshadow base all over the eye area with the 249. Using the 239, apply Seedy Pearl eyeshadow all over the lower lid. Lightly blend Fig. 1 eyeshadow in the outer crease and very outer edge of the lid with the 226. Blend Hush eyeshadow with the crease shade and highlight the brow bone . Bring everything together by applying #4L liner on the lower lash line. Finish by sweeping lashes with Plushlash mascara.
For cheeks, apply Cadaques blush on the apples of the cheeks and smooth with fingertips.
For lips, apply Sweetie lipstick first, and then layer Nymphette lipglass for a complementing lip.

Gorgeous!
So gorgeous. You look like an angel!:) Sadly it takes me more than 5 mins to put foundation alone on , not to mention eyeshadows.
Thanks, Svetlana!
Christine, can you please do a Mardi Gras look? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Thanks for the suggestion!
omg i wish i looked this good in 5 mins!
Thanks, Abby!
Beautiful!!
Thanks, Valerie!
LOVELY!!! I'm copying this look in its entirety. Thank you for a fresh take on purples (which I seem to collect for hopes of accentuating the green in my eyes) This is great!
Aww, yay!! Hope it works!
Wow this looks incredible on you! Sooo pretty! It's sweet, romantic, and did I say pretty? I love it! You look great
Thank you, Teresa!
Such a pretty look! I actually just bought Nymphette lipglass about 3 days ago and I am loving it!
Thanks, Jessica! Nymphette is a classic.
aww u look so beautiful and feminine with that look! I love it!
Thank you, Jannette!
This look is beautiful and you looks stunning - I'd love to try it out for a casual night out!
Thanks a lot, Dini!
very pretty! :)
Thank you!
ooh i love this look!! :- ) Would Plum Dressing work as a dupe for the Fig. 1 eyeshadow?
Thank you, Leea!
I love purple and this is a very subtle way to wear it but... what about, sometimes, showing us a more evening-style look? I mean, something more gothic, ie: black, violet and other bold colour? I would really like to see you with this kind of styl! I am curious! :-D
Do you have a picture of what you're talking about? I'm having trouble visualizing what you mean :)
What a beautiful look. Classic, classy and it would everybody I know. Beautiful lips too. Very well put together Christine. I am going to copy this one fo sho! :)
Thanks a lot, Hilana :)
totally love it!!! I can't believe that I don't have fig 1.
Thank you, Iliang!
THis look is so beautiful! Christine would you say that Fig 1 is comparable to Mac's Sketch? Or do I need to own both?
Thank you, Diana! Sketch is a bit redder, less purple, so they are different, but you could do this look with Sketch for sure!
I have seen many swatches of cadaques but here it looks like you are hardly wearing any blush at all! did you not apply enough LOL. I am more interested in Turks and caicos but I am not sure how that will look like on my NC30 skin
The Multiple Tints are pretty sheer, IMO. I couldn't get much more color than what is shown here, TBH!
very pretty...purple looks good on you
Thank you, Chibu!
christine, I really, REALLY like this :) good job
Thank you, Brenda!
haha you finally used just 2 eyeshadows! (not including highlighter) look great good job!
I know, right? :D Pressure helps!
Love it!
Thanks a lot, Jasmine!
Oooh this is really pretty! I'm interested to see what you think of the NARS Multiple Tints. I find that it lasts all day on my skin! A little sticky for a while, but eventually it sets and will NOT budge. :D
Thank you, Nicole! Will review soon :)
Beautiful!! :)
Aw, thanks, Rinny!
I have tried the Nars Multiples. Not suitable for anyone above NC40. Also, Have you tried the Nars Pro Prime products?
Yes, I've tried the eyeshadow base and the smoother (though not a full testing, since it has a lot of silicone in it ).
this is my favorite look you've ever done.
Thanks, Liz!
Love that the lid is nearly nude with most of the color on the crease. My clients tend to think that they need a color on the lid and then a darker shade for the crease. They're afraid to mix it up and experiment. I really love all these tutorials you and other artists post. It shows the world its okay to play with colors.
