What lipstick goes well with purple eyeshadow?
Purple eyeshadows look perfect with pink, nude or purple lipsticks. A soft lilac paired with hot orange lip shade creates a beautiful contrast and is seriously flattering on almost any skin tone.
For a more standout look, wear it with a darker lip shade in berry tone or some hot red lipstick. Make sure you opt for a pastel shade of purple, like lavender, to keep the overall vibe low-key.
Is purple eyeshadow good for brown eyes?
Since brown is a neutral color, almost any color on the color wheel will make your brown eyes pop. And the cooler the shade you choose, the more your eye color will be highlighted. However, all shades of purple, from violet to lavender, work on brown eyes.
Is purple eyeshadow good for green eyes?
We’ve said before that purple flatters every eye color, but it’s extra gorgeous on green eyes. The red undertones in purple eyeshadows make green eyes instantly pop.
What color blush goes with purple eyeshadow?
Opt for a shade of blush that closely matches your natural skin tone. If you have a fair skin tone, you can go with light coral or soft pink color. If you have medium to dark skin tone, mauve, deep peach or bronze colored blush will look great.
