With Labor Day Weekend and the West Indian Day parade right around the corner I decided to dedicate the next few of my videos to the islands and do looks inspired by the islands my parents are from and some other islands as well.

Falling into Purple- Fall Inspired Look

Fall is right around the corner and is one of my favorite seasons. So I figured why not create a fall inspired makeup look to get you all ready for it. I came up with a gorgeous copper and purple eye look with a bold purple lip for all you ladies who are a bit more daring; for those of you who are now that's okay and you can pair this eye look with a soft pink or nude lip. Everyone WINS here!
