Alright, folks, gather ’round! Today I’m spillin’ the tea on my latest makeup adventure: purple and silver mascara. I know, sounds kinda wild, right? But trust me, it turned out pretty darn cool.
So, it all started last week. I was scrolling through Insta, like ya do, and saw some influencer rockin’ a purple mascara. Now, I’m usually a black mascara kinda gal, but something about that pop of color just grabbed my attention. I thought, “Hey, why not?”
First things first, I hopped online and snagged a tube of purple mascara. It was a drugstore brand, nothin’ fancy. Then, I remembered this silver glitter eyeliner I had tucked away in my makeup bag – hadn’t used it in ages. A lightbulb went off! Purple and silver? Sounds like a party for my lashes!
Okay, time to get down to business. I started with a clean face, just my usual moisturizer. Then, I curled my lashes – super important for that wide-eyed look. Next, I applied a light coat of my regular black mascara as a base. This helps the purple really pop and gives it something to grip onto.
Now for the fun part! I carefully applied the purple mascara, wiggling the wand at the base of my lashes to get good coverage. I did two coats on my upper lashes and just one on the bottom. Gotta be careful not to go overboard, ya know? We’re going for “fun pop of color,” not “clown lashes.”
After letting the mascara dry for a minute or two, I took that silver glitter eyeliner and carefully applied a thin line right above my upper lash line. I wanted a subtle shimmer, not a full-on disco ball. A little goes a long way, folks!
And… BAM! The finished look was actually pretty awesome. The purple mascara gave my eyes a subtle, playful vibe, and the silver liner added just the right amount of sparkle. It was definitely a step outside my comfort zone, but I was diggin’ it.
I wore it out to dinner with my friends that night, and they all loved it! Said it made my eyes look brighter and more interesting. Score!
My takeaway? Don’t be afraid to experiment with your makeup! Sometimes the craziest ideas turn out to be the coolest. Purple and silver mascara might not be for everyone, but it was definitely a win for me. I’m already planning my next colorful lash adventure!
- Pro tip: If you’re nervous about going full-on purple, try a purple-brown mascara. It’s a more subtle way to add color to your lashes.
- Another tip: Make sure your eyebrows are on point. A well-groomed brow can really pull the whole look together.
Things I learned:
- Purple mascara is surprisingly versatile.
- Silver glitter eyeliner is always a good idea.
- Don’t let anyone tell you what you can and can’t wear. If you like it, rock it!
