LOOK: Plum & Orange Gradient

I had this idea of a look envisioned in my mind and it was done using these same colors but it didn't come out exactly as I had hoped. Nevertheless I really like how this look came out. I like it because I stepped away from using black eyeshadow, which is pretty much my "comfort blanket" color. When all things go wrong, just add black eyeshadow to make it smokey and I'm good. I almost busted it out but I'm glad I didn't. Even though this look is just okay to me, it is something I find different compared to MOST of the looks I do. I'm usually the type do a gradient from the inner to the outer corners. This time I went vertically which I don't do very often. I know I'm getting way too technical but I hope you know what I'm talking about haha! Anyway, hope you all like it. It isn't very visible when my eyes are opened so I made sure I had some head shots with my eyes closed to show you all. Enjoy! :)

    I usually do gradients when I do smokey eyes, but haven't experimented with them as much otherwise. This looks so hot that I wanna try it out now!

    I hardly ever do a top up gradient too but I'm glad you did! I actually love using an orange color on my skin tone so I may give this a try. Gorgeous!

    I really like the look, it looks soft but there's still colour (if that makes sense? lol) I like it!

    I know what you mean, I usually do inner to outer corner, I'm trying to do the vertical gradient, but II 'chicken' out and go to my comfortable inner to outer corner technique.
