My favorite eyeliner moment!💜

In this post, Makeupbylennie showed off her skill with a bold color and unique eyeliner look. She used Huda Beauty's Mercury Retrograde Palette to create a beautifully blended purple eyeshadow look. All over the lid, she applied a matte light lavender color. For that extra glamor effect, she added a light glitter lavender on the inner half of the eyelid making the look multidimensional. She then nails this purple look with the Glamvice Retro Liner in Gelato, an almost pastel lavender color. Unlike your traditional eyeliner application, she applied Gelato using a graphic liner method, sometimes called the floating crease, because it is a line with a flick just above the eyelid's crease instead of along the lash line.

✨💜How to Add Glitter to Any Eye Shadow Look💜✨

KittyAntix

Adding glitter to your makeup looks can seem intimidating, but KittyAntix makes it look so easy in this tutorial! She starts by using the Sephora Eyeshadow Palette to create her base look on her eyelids. She then uses her favorite glitter glue from Hard Candy and applies it to the end of a makeup brush, and applies it where she wants her glitter to go. For this look, she applies it in a floating crease method. Then she grabs her glitter of choice, Eye Kandy “Jelly Bean” Glitter from Morphe, and uses a makeup brush to apply the glitter to the glue. Then just take a fluffy face brush and brush off any excess glitter! And remember always to use glitter before mascara and lashes-not after!

Marieleonore truly knows how to rock purple eyeshadow! In this post, she shows off a few of her favorite looks that she has created. In the first, she shows off a lovely look she created using a yellow/orange color, pink, purple, and pink-red shadow. There are a lot of colors, but she makes it look so clean with crisp lines. The second look is much simpler but somehow even more eye-catching. She uses an intense all-over purple shadow that she blends out past the tail of her eyebrow for a bold look. She then adds just the right amount of sparkle by applying a lighter sparkly purple to the inner half of her lid. Pop on some mascara and lashes, and that’s all there is to it!

Justmelsdotcom admits herself in this video that she doesn’t use purple as much as she should!

She then applies a light lavender sparkle shadow on the inner half of her eyelid. Her immaculate attention to detail helps create this beautiful look that we can all take inspiration from.

This purple eyeshadow look by AdriD is created using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina Pro Pigment Palette and just a bit of concealer. Only one palette, and you can have an intense and bold eyeshadow look! For that extra glam look, AdriD adds some bling to her eyelids by using a glitter or eyeshadow glue to add on some beautiful crystals to her outer lid. It is usually best to apply these before mascara or false lashes, so you don’t bump into your lashes while they are wet or setting. Much better to just place the gems onto the eyelid first and then do the mascara or falsies.

This look will also last all day since it includes using Pretty Vulgar’s Eyeshadow Primer and Maybelline Fit Me Pressed Powder to set the primer.

KiyanaK looks absolutely gorgeous in purple, and she shows how to create her perfect spring look using her favorite purples! When working with bold colors, she offers the helpful suggestion of using eyeshadow shields to protect the rest of your face from the fallout from your eyeshadow. Once those are applied, you can get to work on your eye makeup and not have to worry about the cleanup! She then uses the Matte Book by the Crayon Case and a purple pigment from Obsessed with Make-Up. After her eyeshadows are blended just right, she uses Beauty Benefits Color Squad Liquid Eyeliner to create her perfect wing. And she goes another step and adds in Maybelline Snapscara 310 in Ultra Violet to really bring home the purple look!

Next, you’ll want to take a deeper or dark purple, darken the eyelids’ crease, and blend away! Don’t be shy; there is no such thing as too much blending! For the last step to really give this look that extra shine, she applies the Maybelline High Peel eye shadow to the area above her crease.

KittyAntix is coming back again with another look here! This gal knows how to rock the purples, that is for sure! Using Urban Decay’s Disco Palette, she takes a brush and picks up a pink magenta shade to put in and just above her crease. Then she grabs a deep royal purple color with a bit of shimmer to place right in the crease. After that, she grabs a stunning blue/turquoise color(with shimmer, of course!) and packs it all over her eyelid, underneath the magenta and purple colors. The last step is to add some purple to the under-eye area near the lash line to create a smudged-out smokey eye look. If you try this at home, don’t forget to throw in glitter above the crease line, too, for that extra glam effect.

He stated that the colors of the palette were incredibly easy to work with. Taking three very different colors and creating a rainbow-like effect across the lid takes some serious blending skills and is not for the faint of heart or beginners who are short on time!

Frequently Asked Questions about "purple eyeshadow looks"

Who can wear purple eyeshadow?

One of the amazing things about purple eyeshadow is that it can look great on anyone! It never takes away from anyone’s natural beauty and seems to only accentuate or add to the beauty that’s already there. Whether your eyes are brown, blue, green, or any other color, purple really makes them pop. And best of all, it looks amazing on all skin tones. Purple may not be a favorite color for everyone and may seem kind of intimidating for some, but try a more toned down or muted purple if you are new to the purple world and give it a chance. You might just fall in love and find your next new look. A helpful trick for those who have brown eyes is to try out warmer-toned purples if you have brown eyes. If you have blue eyes, give cool-toned purples a chance. These tones and colors seem to complement each other well.

Why is purple eyeshadow hard?

Purple eyeshadow isn't necessarily hard to use once you find the right formulation. However, finding a purple eyeshadow with a good color pay-off and minimal fallout can be tricky. Surprisingly, purple is not commonly seen naturally in nature, so there are fewer sources to obtain the pigment from. This can make formulating a good eyeshadow rather difficult. Before buying a purple pallet or eyeshadow, it is a good idea to sample it in-store if you can! This way, you can see how it applies before committing. Many people also fear bright colors like purple because they can be a little more intimidating to work with. More natural colors tend to be more forgiving when we make mistakes. Brighter or more vivid colors like purple don’t leave much room for error, so it is good to always be prepared as you apply your makeup with a brush to wipe away any fallout or a q-tip and makeup remover to clean up any mistakes.
