Fall Inspired: Wearable Purple & Gold


For today's look I used the Rainforest After Dark Palette by Tarte for the 
Glamour. I also did a little advanced highlighting & contouring
by using 3 different shades of foundation. Be on the
lookout for a step by step tutorial on how I do this on my channel as well
as right here on The Beauty Blog. Below is a list of products I used
and where for this really cool technique. It does require
a little extra time so I would reserve this method for more special occasions
but I'd also practice it a time or two before the actual event.
I do have an even easier way to contour with foundation and I will be 
sharing that with you shortly as well. 
Hope you enjoy this tutorial!! Have a great day, Gorgeous!!

The pictures do this NO JUSTICE!! It appears more brown than purple!!
My building is under construction and its messing with my lighting!!!
