EOTD: Silver Fox? More like a purple rinse fox..

I wasn't sure the direction to take with this one..it didn't feel summery/springy enough for pastel green and purple wasn't going to take centre stage again so that's how I ended up with this look.

I'm glad my boss wasn't at work because there's no way I would have been allowed this on if he was there but thems the perils of working in the buttoned up corporate world..

It was mean to be silver/grey on the lid with purple in the crease but I ran out of time due to having to straighten my hair so I kind of mixed the two together.  I still think it looks OK.
 It looks dodgy on closed eyes but I really like how it looks on opened eyes and I'm going to apply all my two toned/non crease looks like this..

It stayed on pretty well all day and as we were going to an Indian function after work, I had to conform to stereotype and bang out the old eyeliner..
The flick isn't the best in the world but it sufficed!

And here's what I used:
Overall, I'm quite happy with how brown the grey and purple mix makes my eyes look.  I know that individually they're colours that make brown eyes pop but I didn't think the effect would be so obvious when I tag-teamed them.  I'm also really impressed with the staying power of the Revlon shadows.  I had a primer on underneath but I thought the colours would fade during the day but they really didn't.

PS..a purple rinsed fox!

  1. Haha to the purple fox pic! Awesomeness.

    Great EOTD. The purple is such a lovely rich shade and perfect with your brown eyes - what did you use?


    The hippie academic in me balks at the idea of such a strict workwear code, it looks totally work-appropriate to me! x

  4. The Postcolonial Rabbit: Thems the breaks at work I'm afraid, most of the time all I get to wear is two vey neutral shades.. I totally forgot to put the photo of the items I used but they were as follows:

    - UDPP as a primer.
    - A yellowy eyeshadow as a base (I used Urban Decay's Foxy).
    - Revlon's Silver Fox quad (I've got swatches of the entire quad, if you search for it on my blog, you can see them)..that's where the name comes from!
    - Revlon Grow Luscious mascara
    - Collection 2000 kohl eyeliner (pencil, but you can use any black one).
    - ACTIVE liquid liner (but again, you can use any).

  5. persephone: It's too colourful but I can forsake the bright eyes for the work..This is why most of my EOTD's are bright colours!

  7. It looks lovely, I really like those sort of lilac/purple shades and they seem to work well on brown eyes.

  9. Sana: It is really really easy to do (hence me being able to do it, ha!)

    Meeta: Thanks, they really do!

    Lillian: Thank you, I love this liner as it has lasted me a good few years and it doesn't dry matte. Took me a while to find that fox you know ;)
