purple people eater

 

I've never been much of a purple girl. My favourite colour is orange, and I wear warm colours (or black) the majority of the time. In recent weeks, however, I've fallen in love with purple-toned taupes and browns, shimmering dark violet shades and most heavily for lilac. Here I share with you a selection of my brighter purple shades, and I'd love for you to share your picks in the comments!

 

 

The first shadow is In Deep by Kit Cosmetics, which I bought on sale as a brave move to step into the world of purple AND darker eye shadows! The next one along is Quartz by Face of Australia, which is a stunning lilac shade. My MAC Dame Edna palette is next, which I love for the inclusion of three version different types of purple.

 

 

Another beautiful palette I own which contains very different types of purple shades is my Elianto palette. The beautiful Emily from Emily's Anthology brought this back from Malaysia for me quite some time ago. I fell in love with Elianto when I visited Malaysia for the first time, and I am so happy to own this beautiful palette. This palette was customisable, and I love the shades I chose and really need to use them more.

 

 

You can see the various intensities and shades here.

 

 Quartz is so so pretty!

Elianto have such beautifully pigmented colours, I highly recommend visiting them if you're in Malaysia! 

 

I have a post with my newer purple acquisitions coming up, featuring beauties from Laura Mercier and Illamasqua, among many others!

 

Do you have a colour that you gravitate to in your makeup?

Which shade of purple stands out most to you?

 

I bought all of these shadows myself. Honesty, always.
