Are you ready to follow the steps to this simple eye and purple lips makeup tutorial? Let’s get started!

Step 1

Apply face primer for a smooth finish. This step is essential if you want to achieve perfect-looking skin.

Step 2

Use an illuminating cream to give your skin a healthy glow.

Step 3

To get rid of the dark under eye circles, apply a color corrector underneath the eyes.

Step 4

Since we’re going for a simple makeup look, BB cream will be better than foundation. BB cream is lightweight, tinted and offers benefits for healthy, clear skin.

Step 5

To achieve flawless skin, apply concealer under the eyes, on the T-Zone and cupid’s bow. This will highlight those areas.

Step 6

Now it’s time to set our makeup with a setting powder.

Step 7

Using a contour stick, draw a line underneath the cheekbones to give your face more definition.

Step 8

It’s time to bake! Apply translucent powder under the eyes, bridge of the nose, forehead, and cupid’s bow. After a minute of baking, blend the contour stick smoothly onto the cheeks, then blend the powder.

Step 9

Reset this layer of makeup with your setting powder.

Step 10

To give the face more structure, apply contour powder around the edge of the face, hollow of the cheeks, jawline, and bridge of the nose.

Step 11

Use your translucent powder again to draw a line underneath the cheekbones. This line will accentuate the contour you’ve just created.

Step 12

Fill in the brows. Keep it clean and natural looking.

Step 13

Apply eye primer to prevent creasing and to extend the wearability of your makeup.

Step 14

Pick a caramel brown shade and apply this on the outer corners of the crease, working your way inside.

Step 15

Now pick a dark plum/brown eyeshadow and apply this over the caramel you applied earlier. Start on the outer corner of the eyes. The dark shade can be harsh so use some caramel to diffuse the darkness and blend properly.

Step 16

Now apply a silver shimmery eyeshadow over the lids.

Step 17

Apply black eyeliner on the upper lash line and create a small wing.

Step 18

Using the same dark plum/brown eyeshadow, lightly run the color under the lower lash line.

Step 19

Curl and apply mascara on the upper and lower lashes.

Step 20

For a more dramatic look, apply your favorite false eyelashes.

Step 21

Shape the lips with lip liner and blend. Apart from shaping your lips, lip liners also keep your lip color in tact and in place.

Step 22

Now to the fun part: purple lipstick!

Step 23

For some finishing touches, put some pink shimmery eyeshadow on the tear ducts as this will brighten the eyes.

Step 24

Lastly, dab some highlighter (powder formula) on the high points of the cheeks and nose.

Now you’re ready for a night about town.

What do you think of this purple lipped look? After going through each step, I was surprised to see that the makeup still looks natural and simple. While purple eyeshadow and lipstick may seem like a lot, the finished result is completely, utterly awesome!

Center Light & Outer Dark Lips
Keep in mind these three tricks when recreating the ombre lip: 1) Lip pencil is your friend. It prevents bleeding outside the lip line as well as defines the lips. 2) Generally stick to three lip color products and a lip brush. 3) Remember to follow the light, by mimicking the way light naturally hits a glossy lip in the center, AND don’t be afraid to go bold!

Pink/Purple Ombre Lips
Moisturize you lips with clear lip balm before applying the lipstick to allow a smooth ombre blending of color. 1) Outline the lips, using your darkest purple shade. 2) In the middle of the lips you need to apply a lighter shade. 3) Take a clean brush and carefully blend the shades until you get the ombre effect.

Importance Of Concealer & Lip Pencil
Notice how makeup concealer and lip pencil liner are applied to lips as a foundation before the lip ombre color is applied? It’s the best way to keep dark shaded lips from bleeding where they shouldn’t.

Darkest Purple Ombre
The darkest purple lips makes for an amazing gothic look. To get the super dark purple shade, use a wide lip liner or even purple eyeshadow pencil for lining outer lips while bringing the color in towards the center. Wear them either matte or covered over with gloss.

Sherbet Holiday Lips
Are you flying away to warmer weather during the holiday season? Try a bright color palette by using yellow lipstick for your lightest ombre shade. . . yummy.

Asymmetrical Ombre & Brushes
Here we have four shades of lip color, BUT what’s essential in this diagram are the three shapes of lip brushes for blending color. A pointed brush is for defining the outer lips and the rounder brushes are for shading and feathering the inner lips.

Baby Doll Lollipop Lips
Fading from one color to another with the color combinations of pinks, corals and nude is one of the newer makeup looks: 1) Apply a layer of lip color on the inner part of your lips. 2) Blend out the color using concealer. It’s super easy and fast, and with your understated ombre lips, your eyes will pop!

Liquid Gold Lips
To get this festive look first line lips, then dab glittery gold lipgloss in the lip’s center and blend. Then apply a red lipstick and carefully blend from the outer lip corners in towards the center until you hit the gold gloss. So pretty.

Up and Down Red: Orange Ombre
To achieve this unique eye catching ombre look: 1) Line your lips with the lip liner to provide a base for the lipstick in the darker shade or closest to it. 2) Apply a red lipstick on the top lip and a bright orange lipstick onto the bottom lip only. 3) Now press your lips together to blend the two colors.

We’ve already told you about 22 years old Russian girl Christina Rey who holds the Guinness record as the owner of the world’s largest lips. The thing is, Christina decided not to stop and continued experimenting with her appearance.     This eccentric girl did an auricle surgery to make her ears pointed, resembling elves from fairytales. Christina, previously famous for having not less than a hundred lip-enlarging injections since the age of 17, the total cost of which was about £4,000, is now covering her body with piercing and tattoos. She also plans to enlarge her breasts to the DD size.

That’s how she looked before:
