What Eyeshadows Go Well With Purple Liner?

Wearing bold eye shadow colors during daytime can look unnatural.

Purple eyeliner matched with the correct eye shadow can really make your eyes stand out. To get the best results, use eye shadow colors that contrast with the color of your eyes. Experiment with different shades to find the ones that work for you.

Brown Eyes

To enhance brown eyes, match your purple liner with purple or green eye shadow shades. Purple and green shades make brown eyes appear more vibrant. The lightest purple eye shadow shade goes over the area from the eyelashes up to the eyebrow. Apply a medium purple eye shadow over your lid, from the lash line up to the crease. During nighttime, accentuate the eye even more by tracing the crease of your eye with dark-purple eye shadow. Use a light, medium and dark-green eye shadow in the same fashion.

Green Eyes

Because green eyes are already colorful, they don't need much to stand out. The purple eyeliner enhances the eyes all by itself. Using colorful eye shadows can overwhelm your eyes and have a clownish effect. Keep eye shadow minimal. A natural, light shade that resembles your skin tone can be applied from the upper lash line to the eyebrows. Apply a light-brown shade over the eyelids, from the upper lash line to the crease.

Blue Eyes

Similar to green eyes, blue eyes look best with natural eye shadow shades, such as beige, taupe and brown. If you want to use color, do so at nighttime. Match your purple liner with blue eye shadow shades. Blue shades enhance the blue of your eye and make them stand out. Apply the lightest blue shade over the area from your eyelashes up to your eyebrows. Use a medium shade on your eyelids and accentuate the crease with a dark-blue shade.

Gray Eyes

If your eyes are a light shade of gray, the bold purple liner may be overwhelming. Swipe a cotton swab over the liner to make it appear more natural. Keep your eye shadow minimal and use soft brown and purple hues. Use a skin-toned eye shadow on the area from your eyelashes up to the eyebrows. Apply a brown or purple shade on your eyelid, up to the crease. Wear darker shades if you have dark skin, and lighter ones if you have light skin.
