Violet
Landis says that violet shadow works best for those with dark skin tones and black hair. Purple eye shadow also looks especially great with green eyes. A violet eye shadow with a hint of red or pink highlights any yellow-gold color in green eyes, and a violet shadow with a touch of bronze or brown emphasizes the blue hue in green eyes.
Eva Amurri recently wore violet eye shadow with glossy lips and a floral dress, and she looked great. For most collegiettes™, a floral dress is a necessity for summer, so why not pair it with violet eye shadow?
So how can you wear violet shadow without standing out for all the wrong reasons at the office? According to iVillage.com, you first put a vivid shade of violet matte shadow on your entire eyelid, letting it expand to both the left and the right so that it extends from the outer edge to the inner edge of your eye – causing your eye to be surrounded by color. Then, apply this same shadow under your lower lashline, lining your eyes with violet color. You’ll be looking like Rachel McAdams in no time!
Just because the weather is hot and a rainbow isn’t in the sky doesn’t mean these colors should hide in our makeup bags. Take a risk and pull off a red or indigo eye shadow – you’ll be sure to brighten up your features and make your girlfriends green with envy.
