Pairing purple makeup with blush and lip colour
4. Peach and neutral blush is best
Avoid a too-pink blush if you're wearing purple on your eyes. "Peachy-pink is flattering for day, and a neutral, spice blush or bronzer is good for night," says Carreiro.
Kaysser Bouiche, international makeup artist for Thierry Mugler Beauty, agrees. "Try apricot or something with golden tones," he says. "A whole face in pinks and purples can look a little too... Miss Piggy!"
5. Mind your lip colour
Again, if you're wearing purple on the eyes, shun bright pink on the lips or purple lipstick. "Sheer gloss is most modern in either pale pink or peach," says Carreiro.Of course, before you start with all the purple, you'll need to minimize undereye circles and any other redness or discolouration with concealer. Purple eye shadow plus purple under-eye shadows equals Tired Face.
Now that you're armed with all this purple prose from the purple pros, go on, enjoy your purple reign.
