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.
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 Rich Amethyst.
Next, apply a deep purple eyeshadow shade to the crease of your lids and slightly above it. Meghan uses our City Mini Eyeshadow Palette in Skyscape Dusk.
Now, apply a lighter purple eyeshadow shade to the inner corner of your eyes to brighten up the look and add dimension.
Finish the look by lining your waterlines with purple eyeliner and applying a lengthening mascara, like our Lash Sensational Sky High Washable Mascara
