I am the most inept eyeshadow person ever! My favorite color is purple, and yet, when I apply purple eyeshadow, it looks like a bruise! I am so jealous of anyone who can wear it.

If you have an Ulta near you they can help you choose. I use purple shades also. I have Bare Minerals. The shade I used most was Passionate Plum. I still have a pot of it. I bought it a few years ago. I have Hazel eyes and this color has worked very well for me. With purples you have to apply very lightly. I find Bare Minerals eye shadows to be very good.

I like purple too but you have to get the right shade for your eye color and skin tone. I had to stay away from purples that have too much red in them it looks awful on me. I have heard makeup artists say this color looks good on everyone.

I use a bobbi brown muted purple that gives a smoky eye. If you go to her website you'll find various purple shades

@cuddlesmama Not me. I never recommend a purple or brown shadow or liners or anything on the eyes with red in it. It tends to make the area look sickly.

@ThinkOutsidetheBox I f I may advise, look for tones of lilac, heather, etc. Lighter tones of purple are more natural looking and easier to work with. I also keep a light neutral shade on the lid and use aything in a "purple tone" only on the very outer fouth of the lid for definition and shaping/elongating the eye. You still get a hint of color, but nothing too dramamtic.

@linden Most of the BB palettes have tones of pink, orange, bronze, etc. The individual shadows are being discontinued since the empty 6 pan palettes to put them in was discontinued years ago.
I'd look to the shadow sticks...there's a heather tone that's beautiful. Also check Laura Mercier for sticks in the shades you'd like.
