EOTD: Purple smoky eye makeup with Sleek Vintage Romance palette

After my first smoky eye look (here), I've been trying to push myself further out of my comfort zone. Here is a purple smoke eye look I've done with the Sleek iDivine Vintage Romance Eyeshadow Palette (swatched and reviewed here).

I've used Honeymoon in Hollywood for the crease. This is a lovely wine-deep berry with a hint of shimmer. I then applied Marry in Monte Carlo on the lid - a shimmery mauve-ish berry shade. So far, so good. Then I decided to apply Meet in Madrid, a glittery gold shadow, on the inner corner. This didn't go in too well and ended up sticking out by a mile, so I blended it inwards, which led to the effect that you can see here, with over-done inner-corners. I finished the look with Sephora Long-Lasting liquid eyeliner in #14 or Fancy Violet.

The primer is Too Faced Shadow Insurance and I used Manic Panic Mascara in Creatures Of The Night.
I went shopping for Christmas prezzies for my nephew today evening and decided that I would do this bolder look. After taking these photographs - all in natural, (about) 5 p.m. light - I spent some time in the car frantically dabbing at my eyes with a tissue and compact powder until you could barely see the purple. More courage required.
