Makeup with purple or lilac lipstick for blondes and brunettes

Lilac and purple lipstick are undoubtedly not universally appealing beauty products. Nonetheless, this doesn’t deter girls who go for daring cosmetic choices. Makeup artists have some suggestions to think about if you want to create a similar lip accent.

Makeup with purple lipstick for blondes

Blondes are advised to wear lilac lipstick only if their hair has a cold ash undertone, devoid of a golden glow, and their eyes are blue, gray, or gray-blue. Despite the fact that purple and yellow make one of the most harmonious color combinations, purple does not work well with warm features.

If you think that kind of lipstick would go well with your look, pair it with an appropriate eye makeup choice. Light lipstick shade? This indicates that there’s a chance to draw bold black arrows to draw attention to the eyes and highlight their contours with a dark brown pencil. A brighter accent on the eyes should be combined with a more saturated lipstick shade, such as Jawbreaker from Urban Decay’s Vice lipstick line.To achieve this, use purple shadows that have glitter applied to them and shade them along the lash line.

Makeup with purple lipstick for brunettes

Brunettes are in a different league. They should not be worn with light colors (like lavender) on a milky white background. As a result, you will need to select a darker lipstick shade, such as No. 6 Night Crawler from NYX Professional Makeup’s Full Throttle collection, which is plum or eggplant in color. However, the "finish" can be anything you want, but bear in mind that it will influence your future eye makeup decisions.

Shimmery shadows will help create a light haze along the eye contour, which will successfully contrast with a matte lip finish. Additionally, eyeliner drawn with a marker and glossy purple lips (which can be achieved with a product like Lancôme’s L’Absolu Lacquer in shade No. 468 Rose Revolution) look amazing together.

You will also need to abide by the rules if you concentrate on the eyes rather than the lips. Every shade of purple has a distinct "character" and calls for a different strategy.

• This summer season, mono eye makeup, made with one shade of eyeshadow, has come back into fashion. Blend light lilac over the entire surface of the eyelids (if the eyeshadow is classic powder) or apply with careless strokes (if the eyeshadow is cream) to get an art makeup in the spirit of catwalk trends.
• Combine a more saturated violet shade of shadows (it is better to choose a product with a shimmer texture) with a black kohl pencil outline. Soften the lines to create a scattering effect in purple.

• Want to use dark purple eyeshadow in your makeup? Let them become a “base” for a cat eye or help in darkening the outer corners.

• But you will have to choose the eyeliner carefully: it is better not to emphasize brown eyes with a light liner, they need a darker option – for example, a plum shade with a metallic effect (there is one in the waterpaint:ink collection from Shu Uemura). It will also suit girls with green eyes.

Lilac makeup for blue eyes

Lilac-hued makeup looks great on blue-eyed people, as do all pastel shades.

• But there are nuances. To avoid the result reminding you of the makeup with a "frosty" effect from the 2000s, strive for minimalism and purity. Carefully blend lilac shadows over the eyelids and apply mascara to the eyelashes – the look is ready! For inspiration, use the photo of mono-makeup with lilac shadows from the backstage of the spring-summer shows.
• If you are not ready to accept this makeup option as everyday, replace smoky eye makeup with a more subdued one. For example, emphasize the contour with lilac arrows, as in the video below.

Makeup in purple tones for brown eyes

Lilac shadow makeup is appropriate for girls with brown eyes, but only in artistic beauty photography. More vibrant hues that match the color of the eyes in saturation are required in daily life. It’s important to note separately that brim eyes typically need "backlight," or makeup that has some sheen or glitter to it in order to give the appearance of "sparks." Using purple metallic eyeshadow (like that from Maybelline New York’s The Rock Nudes palette) to create a smoky effect around the eye contour is a wise decision.
