Pop of Purple | A Spring Inspired Makeup Tutorial ft. Rimmel

What I love so much about spring is the sense of renewal it comes with: it is a time for change, and one area where I of course like to switch things up is makeup! While I prefer wearing a neutral eye look and darker lips in the fall and winter, in the spring I like to bust out some brighter colours and make things a little more fun! I wanted to share with you how I came up with this very simple makeup look where I focused the attention on the eyes by adding a pop of purple, and also playing up the lips with a bright pink lipstick. For this #CollectiveBias shop, I headed to my local Jean Coutu drugstore and picked up a few Rimmel products from a large selection to create this look - not only does it require a minimal amount of products but it is also very easy to recreate and super wallet-friendly!

I have really been loving the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation, so of course I had to incorporate it into this tutorial. It leaves a subtle dewy finish which I really like since it makes my skin look nice and healthy. I also whipped out my Match Perfection Blush in Medium which I purchased last summer. It is a great multitasking product since you can swirl the brush around or use each shade separately as a blush or bronzer. To complete my makeup look, I picked up the Rimmel Exaggerate Auto Waterproof Eye Definer in Purple Shock, the Scandaleyes Curve Alert Mascara in Black, and the Lasting Finish Lipstick in the shade Kiss.

I first applied the Wake Me Up Foundation all over my face and down my jaw-line, and then very lightly applied a swirl of the Match Perfection Blush. I decided to skip on highlighter since the foundation provides a nice glow on its own.

For the eyes, I used a white base to make the shadows and eye liner stand out. I applied a shadow slightly more pink than my natural skin tone, and then blended a grey shadow lightly into my crease to give my eyes more depth and make them look rounder. I then drew on a winged line, and since the Purple Shock eye liner has a creamy texture, I could easily use an angled eye liner brush to achieve the perfect flick. I also curled my lashes and added a couple of coats of the Scandaleyes Curve Alert Mascara. Last but not least, I finished off the look by applying the Lasting Finish Lipstick in Kiss, which I was drawn to for its pretty sheen. I was really impressed with all of these products, especially the eye definer as it did not budge throughout the day!

Here are a couple of close-up pictures of the finished eye makeup:

And there you have it: a super fun way to add a pop of colour to your everyday makeup routine this spring! What do you think of this look? Is this something you would wear? Let me know in the comments below! :)
