Dazzling Makeup Ideas If Your Favorite Color Is Purple
Colorful makeup can be risky because some colors look gorgeous on you, while some shades might make you take a second look and not in a good way. If you are looking to experiment with color and don’t know where to start, purple is perfect for you. Makeup artist Jamie Dorman told Ipsy, “Anyone can wear purple eyeshadow; the key is finding the shade that is right for you,” because purple can flatter every eye color. You should choose a warmer purple if you have green or blue eyes or neutralize the bright tones of purple with jet black mascara to tone it down. Byrdie calls the color “extremely wearable” because purple has an impressive range of eclectic shades that look great that you can wear for the office to make your eyes shine or for a fun night out. Whether you are a fan of soft periwinkle and lavender or bold eggplant and raisin, there is no stopping purple.
Purple is definitely here to stay. Even the OG of makeup, Urban Decay, dedicated a palette to purple when it created the Prince Collection inspired by his hit single “Purple Rain.” The gorgeous eyeshadow palette with 10 colors has five variations of purple to make you feel like a rockstar, per Temptalia. And, unlike most colorful hues of the rainbow, you don’t have to limit purple to just your lids because this regal shade works on your cheeks, lashes, and lips.
