HOW TO WEAR PURPLE EYESHADOW

WITH MEGHAN NGUY

Hello, drama. Purple eyeshadow isn’t for the shy. Fronting major ’tude, this bold look makes a serious look-at-me statement with its awesome color and smoke show vibes. A play on the standard smokey eye look, this purple shade variation happens to look especially fab on those with brown eyes but is truly gorgeous on anyone. Want to rock it? Makeup artist Meghan Nguy creates the look on model Karina Milan, breaking down the steps below so you can create it any time.

  1. HOW TO WEAR PURPLE EYESHADOW STEP #1: COLOR IN LIDS

    Start by applying purple eyeliner color to your entire lid and blend out so that your color is even. Meghan uses our Tattoo Studio Sharpenable Gel Pencil Longwear Eyeliner in Lavender Lights.
