Do you have anything Lavender in your makeup collection that you wear or, are you considering any lavender color makeup in the near future?  I have a large ABH #5 eyeshadow palette but I am interested in lavender blush and highlight. This is definitely a color that I can wear, I've just never tried it on my face. Dior has a new lavender blush stick and a new lavender powdered highlight.  The highlight I'm not worried about. I need to Google Images or videos of light complexions with lavender blush. But, Rare Beauty Contour in Gentle is so pretty and goes on so effortlessly, I wonder why I bother with anything else much less buy more 🤔

Lavender and lilac seem to be really popular colors in clothes these days.  I love both of thse shades!  I used to have a really beautiful lilac eye shadow eons ago.  I don't know about the lavender shades but I haven't been looking.  Probably would be pretty though!

I've been very interested but have never tried it.  The one you posted looks like one I'd love to start with.

I use a soft heathered lavender eyeshadow from Mary Kay.  Been using it for years.

I wear neutral pinks, mauves, mainly, everyday eye look...and I sometimes will put some pale green shimmer or teal shimmer (LG) in the corner for a pop with my green eyes.

 

On the lavender note....I have an old pot of Bare Minerals, in a very pretty, soft lilac shimmer, that, depending what I have on, I will wear occasionally. They say lavenders, lilacs are good with green eyes, so it's pretty for a change up sometimes. But it's so pale it hardly reads purple/lilac on me...I think I need to maybe wet it, or build it up more for more effect. Bare Minerals seems to "blow off" or wear off quickly on me....hence they've never been my main, everyday shadows.

 

@monicakm The tube you shows seems more like a blush pink or neutral nude than a lavender?

@monicakm   We both have the wonderful Viseart palette w/shades of violets and purple. I love it sparingly now.

@monicakm  Since I'm a lip and blush addicted woman, I have been looking at another Fenty high shimmer gloss bomb stick - the one that's a cross between lipstick and gloss.  I have been restraining myself for weeks but am very curious about the icy amethyst color.  I wanted the flamingo fling (pink) but it's been unavailable for a while.

 

I really want to try it, but in the past I have tossed so many lip "experiments" and tend to stick with my usual colors.  Just cash down the drain.  Maybe if I can get a coupon, that will be my  lilac try.  I would have to try a cheap version of a lilac blush to see what that would look like on me.

Purple is my favorite color and I have dark coloring so it's doubly my color. I go for this constantly. I also have a purple primer as well.

Hi @amyb, was that Bare Minerals loose blush called Heaven?  It was sort of a light lavendar pink.  I wanted it, but it was discontinued.  I like Bare Minerals blush/highlighter called rose glow. it is pretty light in color.

I think fair cool toned skin types look really pretty on lavender makeup
