Spring Purples with Lancome Amethyst Glam
Spring Purples with Lancome Amethyst Glam
I wanted to see how this palette performed before reviewing it, so I did this quick look!
You will need the following…
- Eyes: NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base (neutral eyeshadow base), Lancome Amethyst Glam Eyeshadow Palette (pale white-pink, lilac purple, gray purple, soft lilac, blue violet), Hourglass Dune Eyeshadow Duo (champagne), Urban Decay Asphyxia 24/7 Liner (iridescent fuchsia), Urban Decay Perversion 24/7 Liner (black), Bare Escentuals Buxom Lash (black)
- Face: Kiehl’s Tinted Moisturizer (Medium), Burberry Pressed Powder (03)
- Cheeks: Hourglass Flush Aura Sheer Cheek Stain (pinky-red)
- Lips: Bobbi Brown Bikini Pink Rich Color Lipstick (light pink)
- Brushes: 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 222 (fluffy crease brush), 263 (angled eyeliner brush), 116 (dense blush brush)
For eyes, start by applying Smudgeproof as your eyeshadow base all over the eye area with the 249. Apply the pale white-pink eyeshadow to the inner half of the lid and tearduct with the 239. Next, apply the soft lilac eyeshadow to the outer half of the lid with the 239. Using the 222, apply the lilac purple eyeshadow to the crease and blend towards the inner crease. Highlight the brow bone with Dune eyeshadow with the 239. Apply Asphyxia liner on the lower lash line, and then apply Perversion liner on the lower water line. Finish by sweeping lashes with Buxom Lash mascara.
For cheeks, apply Flush cheek stain on the apples of the cheeks and pat towards the temple with fingers.
For lips, apply Bikini Pink lipstick for a complementing lip.
So gorgeous! I must have this palette!
Thanks, Anita! Thought you’d like it!
Wow…I’ve been so bored of purples lately…but I LOVE this! These colors are soo soo pretty!
Aww! Bored of purples?!?! YOU?!
I’ve been wearing them a whole lot and kinda ran out of different ways to wear them. Too bad I can’t afford to get this palette though. Guess I’ll have to see if I have any dupes in my MAC eyeshadows instead. Crease color looks like it might be similar to Creme De Violet, but I can never get that color to show up very much.
This look is so sweeeet! UD Asphyxia is just amazing! Truly matches the Lancome Amethyst palette. I love it <3
And BB Bikini Pink is now on my wish list 😀 Reminds me of MAC Overtime.
Thank you, Polly! Yup, similar in color but more comfortable to wear!
Love the eye look. I’m a sucker for everything purple! <3
Thank you, Vijaya!
It’s raining in SoCal — bummer, but after I saw this post my mood perked up.. Spring is right around the corner! You look so fresh and glowing! I did circles around the Hourglass Cheek Stain last weekend, I think this picture is the extra nudge I needed to purchase it. Lovely as usual Christine 🙂
It was raining here earlier! Hope it clears up for ya!
I’d love it if you did a look with the teal lancome one too 🙂
Sorry, I have no plans to!
beauuuutiful look! i love the shimmer! i’m gonna try to replicate this look with MAC dupes.
Thanks, Marcela!
In the photos (on my screen at least) the crease colour looks similar to MAC Stars’n’Rockets. How does it compare in person?
Fantastic purples on you, by the way. Cool but not too cool 🙂
Kind of, but it doesn’t have shimmer really, so it has quite a different overall look.
Christine, I notice in all of the close ups of your eye looks that your brows never show any stubble or stray hair. Do you have any tips or tricks for maintaining such a clean brow line?
I tweeze every 2 days or so! If I am going to take a photo, I make sure to double check, too!
Ooooh this is gorgeous. The crease color reminds me of Stars n Rockets. I like seeing you with lip combos (as opposed to just lipstick) best 😉 but I’m sure you are probably just trying to share some new lipsticks with us!
I was testing this out the lip color and how it wore, sorry!
Ohh, no need to apologize you do great work <3 I can't wait to see all the BB Rich Lip Colors. There's always something exciting here.
I’m hoping to get the first review up tomorrow 🙂 I haven’t done lip swatches for the second half, but I did get ’em done for the first half!
Love the eye – it’s so flawlessly blended! I’m on the fence with the fallout, though; I feel like it’s a little more noticeable in a look than it is when swatched, yeah? (And on that note, thank you so much for posting your FOTD with this one ^^)
Thanks a lot, Rae! 🙂
Christine- How are you liking the Hourglass cheek stain? Worth the money?
I will review it when I am ready 🙂 I don’t issue preliminary opinions because I do not want to confuse anyone!
OMG this is so gorgeous! And I LOVE the bikini pink lipstick I have to have it!
Thanks, GJ!
How are you liking the Bobbi Brown rich color lipsticks so far?
I will review it when I am ready 🙂 I don’t issue preliminary opinions because I do not want to confuse anyone! Thanks for understanding!
lovely. that was the palette that I was loking at on this site yesterday. I love it!!
Yay!
Love this look, makes me think of spring! And I’m SO ready for spring to be here!
Thank you, Caity!
Ooooh, I LOVE purple e/s! You look lovely and fresh and radiant 🙂
Bikini Pink is cute too, though I think it leans a little too peach for me – I’ll have to check it out in person and I *cannot* wait till these arrive in NZ!
Thanks a lot! 😀
Sooooo pretty and romantic 😉
Thanks, Urska!
Spring/Summer is coming up, do you think you’ll be able to do more tinted moisturizer reviews?
We’ll see how it goes, thank you for your suggestion!
Love it! Specially the eyes, i must try it 🙂
Thanks, Maryel! 🙂
I love this look. I am trying it tomorrow.
Thank ya!
You look like a fairy in this color. (That’s a compliment!) Love this on you!
Thanks, Elle!
holy CRAP this looks awesome! I’ve been on the fence about a few of these palettes, but seeing your look is doing me in with this one! I kept thinking “I already have 20 million purples” but I DO love having everything in a palette. SO much easier when I’m trying to hurry out the door and have like, 2 seconds to throw something together. I don’t wanna search for my individual purples.
Thank you, Leslie!
Nice e/s combo! I think I will try this out using my Sephora 5-in-1 palette.
Thanks, Chris!
wow gorgeous Christine! how do you make everything look so gorgeous??
Thanks a lot, Abby!
The Hourglass tint looks amazing on you! Hourglass…why must you be so expensive for a college student 🙁
Aww!
Very pretty purple look! I have colors similar to those. I’m definitely going to try this look!
Thanks, Emily!

Thank you, Beth!
May I ask the brush you used to apply the eyeshadows?
Hi Niki,
It is listed in the description above!
Hi Christine…those are beautiful shades of purple, do you of any UD dupes close enough to recreate this look?
Maybe MAC Pink Opal pigment, UD Grifter, UD Stalker!
This is fab! Can’t wait to try this look for spring.
