International Women's Day Makeup

Sunday March 8th is International Women's Day!
All around the world, International Women's Day represents an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women while calling for greater equality.
Make It Happen is the 2015 theme for our internationalwomensday.com global hub, encouraging effective action for advancing and recognising women.
Each year International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8. The first International Women's Day was held in 1911. Thousands of events occur to mark the economic, political and social achievements of women. Organisations, governments, charities, educational institutions, women's groups, corporations and the media celebrate the day.
Various organisations identify their own International Women's Day theme, specific to their local context and interests. Many charities, NGOs and Governments also adopt a relevant theme or campaign to mark the day. For example, organisations like the UN, Oxfam, Women for Women, Care International, Plan, World Association of Girl Guides & Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) and more - run exciting and powerful campaigns that raise awareness and encourage donations for good causes. The UN has been declaring an annual equality theme for many years.

International Womens Day Makeup

As you can see I used a lot of purples in this, so why purple?
From 1908, the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in Great Britain adopted the colour scheme of purple, white and green to symbolise the plight of the Suffragettes. Purple symbolised justice and dignity - two values strongly associated with women's equality. The three colours were used for banners, flags, rosettes and badges to show solidarity.
The shadows I used are: Shiro's Finklestein on the inner corner, Victorian Disco Jack & Sally above the crease, Shiro's Alkahestry on the first half of the lid and My Pretty Zombie Mad Cow on the outer half of lid (possibly not the most appropriate name, but damnit it's a stunning eyeshadow!). The liner is Victorian Disco Halloween Town and my brows are Shiro's Derp.
