Weekly Beauty Tip

This week’s beauty tip is on ‘Purple Eye Shadow’. Take your makeup box and try…

Purple Eye Shadow

Taking bright eye shadows from runway to everyday can be a mystery, but at the Cannes Film Festival Opening Ceremony, Freida Pinto had it figured out with her shimmery purple eye.

Thanks to her shadow’s finish, the look isn’t too matchy-matchy next to her multicolored Michael Angel gown.

Pinto’s makeup artist used a purple crème shadow on the star, blending it onto her lids and on her lower lash line.

Crème shadows are a great way to experiment with more colorful looks – even if you’re stuck on tried-and-true neutral shades. When it comes to more vivid hues, blending out the color seamlessly is half the battle.

Because crème shadows have a softer texture, mastering a natural-looking gradient becomes foolproof.
