Purple eyes for purple frames💜
I recently bought myself a new pair of glasses - an adorable, translucent purple cat eye frame! - and once I opened the package I knew I had to create an eye look inspired by them!
And truly, I’m obsessed with how this pinky purple eye look came out! Not only does it perfectly complement the shape and color of my new glasses, but it’s a super fun way to add an unexpected pop of color!
This eye look is surprisingly easy to recreate because it only calls for 3 eyeshadow shades! I’ve actually done several different versions of it - but this might be my favorite!
Pairing your eyeshadow with your eyewear color can elevate your overall look and express your personal style effortlessly. When I chose the translucent purple cat eye frames, I wanted my makeup to harmonize without overshadowing the glasses. Using just three eyeshadow shades—think soft lavender, muted mauve, and a deeper plum—I was able to build a pinky purple eye look that highlights my eyes and complements the glasses' unique shape. An easy way to get the look is to apply the lightest shade on the inner corner and lid, blend the mauve shade into the crease for depth, and finish with the darkest plum near the lash line to add definition. This technique not only enhances your eye shape but also creates a subtle gradient that works beautifully for day or night. Additionally, don't hesitate to play with textures, like adding a hint of shimmer or using a matte finish depending on the occasion. I found that a matte purple eyeshadow paired with a glossy lip balances the look perfectly. The key is to keep the colors cohesive but not overpowering. If you’re new to colorful looks, start small with the eyeshadow shades similar to those used here and gradually experiment with bolder hues. This approach made recreating this look enjoyable and surprisingly straightforward, even for my busy mornings. This combination can also work well if you wear glasses regularly and want to add interest to your makeup without clashing with your frames. It’s a fun way to personalize your style and boost your confidence, especially when your glasses make such a standout accessory.
