PURPLE EYESHADOW
Celebrating Mardi Gras is not your only reason to wear purple eyeshadow because you can pull it off any day of the year. Choose from the best shades of purple eyeshadow – blackberry, bluish lavender, passion flower – to flatter your brown, green, or hazel eyes.
Blending purple eyeshadow with other colors in your makeup palette is the key to having gorgeous, statement-making eyes. For example, women with fair complexion can pair up the purple eyeshadow with a sugary plum shade or a touch of lavender for a subtle surge of color in their eye lids. Beautiful olive-skinned ladies can benefit from a deep grape shadow on the crease to brighten up the eyes.
Bring out the best in your purple eyeshadow by applying mascara or liquid liner in a berry shade. The result is as dramatic as you would have expected from black mascara. Plus it hides any redness in the eyes.
It really doesn’t matter what your skin tone is because purple eyeshadow is here to stay. All you have to do is find out how to wear purple eyeshadow properly to spice up any outfit you have on.
Wearing purple eyeshadow properly
You think purple eyeshadow is just a thing of the past … but with the right tips and techniques, you can rock it in any of your events all year round. The trick to properly wearing purple eyeshadow is to combine it with the neutral shades in your makeup palette or eyeshadow palette like browns, tans, taupes, and golds.
Bluish lavender is your best bet for a fresh and modern look. Use a concealer to hide any circles under your eyes. Subtle colors on your lips and cheeks would finish it all perfectly.
Playing up your purple eyeshadow
If you love Vanessa Hudgens’ Smokey Eyes, go for mauve or deep purple eyeshadow. Remember to try it on first on the back of your hand and blend them carefully before applying it. This classic, sophisticated look will surely make your eyes irresistible.
If you’re wearing purple eyeshadow during the day, at work or out with some friends, flatter your lips and cheeks with a nude or a peachy pink shade. Spice up your evening by pairing up your purple eyeshadow with a spicy blush on your cheeks. You can also try a bronzer with gold flecks to brighten up your face.
