Purple Smokey Eyes Makeup Look |
Purple eyeshadows/liners are my favorite. I feel they bring out the brown tones in the eyes, not by much but I tell myself they look lighter 😛. As much as I love purple though, the color tends to look a bit ashy on my lids, but I finally found a way to make this color work for me by pairing it with coppery-brown tones. And much as I would like to claim it all came to me out of the blue, truth is my eureka moment came when I spotted similar colors in the NARS Spring 2017 makeup collection (Velvet Shadow sticks - Usbek and Belle-Ile). Since I didn't (don't) have any of the NARS products with me, I dug up some old MAC eyeshadows and came up with this purple eye makeup look. Scroll on for more photos and an easy how-to.

I decided to the balance the purple eye makeup with a softer lip color and opted for Urban Decay Vice lipstick in Backtalk (UD comfort mattes are the best if you tend to have dry lips like I do). For the cheeks, I used NARS blush in Goulue and a bit of Smashbox LA Lights blendable cheek-lip color in Venice Beach Bronze. Swatches below. |

If you have been shy of purple eyeshadows, give this makeup look a try. It's easy, and you can control how intense you want the purple eyeshadow to be and/or how much time you want to spend blending and buffing the color.
