From Plum to Amethyst: Stunning Purple Eyeshadow Looks For All Eye Colours

When it comes to makeup, experimenting with different colours can be a fun way to express your creativity. Purple eyeshadow is a versatile shade that can complement a variety of eye colours and skin tones. If you're looking to add a pop of colour to your makeup routine, here are 4 stunning eyeshadow techniques which you should try with purple eyeshadow.

1. Purple Smokey Eye

Create a sultry and dramatic look by blending different shades of purple eyeshadow to achieve a smokey effect. Start with a lighter shade on the inner corner of your eye and gradually deepen the colour as you move towards the outer corner. Finish off the look with a winged eyeliner for added intensity.

2. Purple Cut Crease

A cut crease is a popular eyeshadow technique that involves creating a sharp line of definition in the crease of your eyelid. Use a vibrant purple eyeshadow to cut the crease and pair it with a shimmery shade on the lid for a glamorous finish.

3. Purple Halo Eye

The halo eye look involves placing a lighter shade in the center of your eyelid, surrounded by a darker shade on the inner and outer corners. Use a deep purple eyeshadow to create a halo effect that will make your eyes pop and appear larger.

4. Purple Graphic Liner

For a bold look, try incorporating purple eyeshadow into a graphic eyeliner design. Experiment with different shapes and angles to create a unique and eye-catching look that will surely turn heads.

How Does Purple Eyeshadow Complement Different Eye Colours?

Blue Eyes: Purple eyeshadow can create a striking contrast that makes your eyes pop. Opt for shades like lavender, lilac, or deep plum to enhance the natural beauty of your blue eyes

Green Eyes: Purple eyeshadow can bring out the earthy tones in your eyes and make them appear more vibrant. Shades like mauve, violet, or eggplant can enhance the richness of green eyes, making them appear even more mesmerizing.

Brown Eyes: Purple eyeshadow can add depth and dimension to your eye colour. Experiment with shades like amethyst, plum, or grape to make your brown eyes stand out.

Hazel Eyes: Purple eyeshadow can bring out the different colours in your eyes and make them appear more dynamic. Shades like lavender, violet, or deep purple can enhance the green, brown, and gold tones in hazel eyes, creating a multi-dimensional look.
