one of our favorite looks from the color wheel lookbook is the violet look.  sarah lucero created this very modern look.  it's a great take on the popular cat eye trend.  instead of the typical liquid liner, strong upper lash line emphasis, this look is a heavy lower cat eye that was created with eye shadow.  "it's a great option for lifting and extending the eye shape.  and it's very sultry," sarah explains.  the best way to recreate the look is to use the small end of the #15 brush wet.  when you line your lower lashline, extend the line up and out.  and since this look is so bold, keep the lips nuetral.  try gerbera convertible color and topaz kajal eye liner for a great nuetral lip.
