We tend to opt for neutral, discreet eyeshadow colors, such as chocolate, beige, light gray... But why not dare to wear purple on your eyes? It's a shade we tend to associate with the word flashy, but one that could change your look. We've selected 5 purple, plum, and lilac makeup looks for you!

Who can wear purple makeup?
We'd love to tell you everyone! Or almost. Indeed, violet, lilac, and even plum shades are more suited for blue eyes and green eyes.
As for your skin tone, if it's very fair, you can allow yourself lighter shades. Indeed, dark colors like plum could make your complexion look dull. Medium skin tones, however, should opt for darker colors, with lighter colors only used to highlight the inner corner of the eye and the brow bone. The darkest skin tones can wear anything! The color gradients will stand out best.
However, it is generally preferable to combine purple eyes with an eyeliner. This will help structure the makeup, framing it, which will give your look a less faded appearance.
Inspiration: 5 purple looks
1) Discreet purple makeup look
For this look, choose a light lilac on the mobile eyelid and reinforce the crease with a slightly darker plum. It will be perfect for a daytime look.
2) Purple makeup for parties
This look can be ideal for party makeup. The dark purple is combined with silver gray and copper tones, which will add dimension to your makeup. Perfect for an intense gaze!
3) The essential smoky eye
The smoky look, a must-have! This look shows that it can adapt very well to violet colors. The result is luminous thanks to the glitter applied to the mobile eyelid. We enlarge the gaze by creating a smoky effect on the outer corner of the eye and in the crease. Find our article on the reverse smoky-eye to learn more about this makeup trend.
4) All night long
The boldest can adopt this look for a wild night out! The flashy purple is combined with gold to bring light to the makeup. With a discreet complexion and lips, the result is more than successful!
5) Just a touch of glitter
