I don't know what's becoming more of my favorite- this amazing palette from Anastasia Beverly Hills, or purple eyeshadow!
Between the mentions, and the amount of times I grabbed this palette throughout the month, you can probably tell how real my love is. I'll say this one last time... the array of different looks you can create with the Artist Palette is truly endless, and the vibrant- pigmented colors ignite creativity and imagination!
The purples and blues instantly caught my attention, and I knew I had to create a fun, summer look using them. Not only are the names of these colors super punchy and cute, but they have more of a blue undertone versus a pink like most. This causes colors to be more wearable, whether it be on different skin tones, or when pairing with other eyeshadow shades. 
Bright blue in the water line is not only a fun twist on traditional black liner, but a way to incorporate summer trends into your makeup look as well. Blue also helps eyes appear brighter, for it emphasizes the whites of eyes. I paired both a liner and a shadow in like colors for maximum wear throughout the day.
Personally, I believe this look is fun enough for daytime wear, and flirty enough to transition into those breezy, romantic summer nights that really make you feel alive! While these colors may seem too loud to some, wearing them in a more demure way such as this makes them appropriate for 12pm and 12am. By keeping the rest of the look more nude, or muted eyes remain the focus without competing with other features.
