This make-up trend is said to be a game-changer in the make-up world this season. Violet hues have been making the rounds, and the best way to experiment with this hue is to do a smokey eye with it. Some people think that smokey eyes are daring and a night-time look. But the truth is when these smokey eyes are highlighted with subtle hues then they can be showcased during the daytime as well. With a few simple steps you can achieve this sophisticated look without looking like a goth chick or an easter egg.
How to achieve the look:
Start off with a lilac shimmery eye shadow as the base colour.
Pack on some black to the outer corner and blend it out so that there are no harsh lines.
Use a slightly darker shade of purple in the middle of the eyelid to create a smooth transition between the lilac and the black. This goes without saying, but blend so that it looks flawless.
Find a peachy pink shade and use a fluffy blush to apply it above the crease. This gives it a natural gradient.
Apply kohl or eyeliner to the lower lash line and smudge it out to give it that smokey effect.
Tightline your upper water line in order to give your lashes a fuller look.
Apply mascara, and your purple smokey look is complete.
