The focal point of Miley Cyrus' "Midnight Sky" smoky eye is, you guessed it, the glittery purple eyeshadow. Anybody can pull this off, but according to L'Oréal Paris, it looks especially gorgeous on green-eyed beauties. British beauty influencer Sophie Floyd posted a recreation of the look on YouTube, and the purple shadow makes her green eyes look unreal. For this look, she uses the Beauty Bay Book of Magic eyeshadow pallet. However, any purple shadow will do, as long as they range in hues of light to dark.
First, take a fluffy eyeshadow brush and apply a light purple shade on the lid, slightly higher than the crease. Blend it high and wing it out gently past the eyebrow. Darken it with a deeper purple shade, blending it in the crease and lid with the same fluffy brush. With this dark shade, it's important to tap off any excess product, use light pressure, and be meticulous with the application. It can get messy fast if you're not careful. For additional dimension, use a flat, angled brush and apply that dark purple shade to the outer corner of the lash line.
To complete the look, apply the same dark purple shadow to the bottom of the eye, only going in about halfway from the outer edge toward the center. Dab some purple glitter on the top of the lid, coat those lashes, and pop on a pair of wispy falsies for extra length and fullness.
