Thanks mama. You can make it work, just use a bright purple!
Purples are awesome. MAC has some of my favorite purples and if the purple is also a duochrome then I’m in love. If your finding that purple looks more like bruising on you then a kick butt smokey eye try a more pastel purple. Depending on your skin tone perhaps you’d be more comfortable with a pretty light purple (think:lavender) also be sure to experiment with different finishes. Perhaps a matte shade over a nice white base for vibrancy or a satin/shimmer finish over a beautiful iridescent base or a cream colored base with light shimmer. Anyone can wear any color never be afraid to experiment or ask for advice! I hope you dont mind!

Thank you. Purples can be a bit tricky it is all about choosing the right shade and the colors you pair it with. I find that anything too red based I have to keep away from waterline b/c I can look sickly. When wearing one shade alone, I find that the more vibrant the purple the better. When wearing muted tones of purple pairing it with other shades works best for me… and remember you can change the look of the shade depending upon the base you use. A dark base will make the shade darker as shown in this look, but a lighter base such as white will make the shade appear much more vibrant.
I love this purple eye.
Absolutely gorgeous hun!!! purples look great on you!!! My fav!
those lashes are really cute! and now you got me wanting to bring my lychee luxe out! lol
