Eye shadows are certainly eye catching on the entire face. It is like fun to experiment with eye shadows, eye liners, pencils, paints,and powders but most women just want to know what is right for them. Always choose neutral colors for eyeshadow to subtly enhance your looks, or play with kaleidoscope of different shades to contrast with and dramatize your coloring.
Purple eyeshadow was a trend that began in the 80's and is still popular today. With purple eyeshadow you can create a number of looks ranging from a hard core party girl look, to look that is soft, light and elegant. Purple eyeshadow tends to complement users with brown, green and hazel eyes best. But don’t let that discourage you, sometimes combining purple with your baby blues has just the right contrast for a look that is stunning and stylish.
Regardless of how darkly pigmented purple eyeshadow appears in it packaging, it is possible to wear it without leaving a mess all over your eyes. If you want to avoid the bruised look that purple sometimes creates when used as an eyeshadow, just stay away from reddish purples and opt instead for brownish or deep hued purples with a bluish tinge. A warm, rich berry, in
particular, is universally flattering, and is always stylish during the fall and winter.
Purple Eye Shadows for Olive Skin:
To avoid purple eyeshadow clashing with olive skin tones, use matte, subdued shades of purple, including pastels. These shades also make brown and green eyes pop. Give cheeks a swipe of a sheer, peachy blush.

Purple Eye Shadows for Dark Skin:
I am in this category, and I am totally in love with deep, plum-y purples as well as shimmery lilacs. For cheeks I like to contour with a deep brown powder then apply a coral blush to the apples of your cheeks.

Wearing Purple Eye Shadow Properly:
You think purple eyeshadow is just a thing of the past … but with the right tips and techniques, you can rock it in any of your events all year round. The trick to properly wearing purple eyeshadow is to combine it with the neutral shades in your makeup palette or eyeshadow palette like browns, tans, taupes, and golds.
Bluish lavender is your best bet for a fresh and modern look. Use a concealer to hide any circles under your eyes. Subtle colors on your lips and cheeks would finish it all perfectly.
Quick Tips for Purple Eye Shadow:
* The most flattering purple is bluish lavender. Fuchsia is the least flattering.
* Always combine purples with other neutrals (golds, tans, taupes, browns) to avoid overkill.
* Avoid 80s candy colors like full on pink blush and lips or you risk looking.
* Minimize under eye discoloration with concealer and use Visine to take any redness out of eyes, unless that I Just Got Punched in the Face look is what you’re going for.
Advice:
Give your cheeks and lips subtle color to keep the rest of your face from looking naked. Soft pink hues are appropriate for those with cool undertones; go with a peachy-pink blush and lip color, on the other hand, if you have warm undertones.
