Soft, pretty pastel colors might be a tad cliche for spring … but who cares! Versace held their Spring 2010 collection some time back and I couldn’t help but notice the models wearing some beeeautiful lilac eyes.
What’s even better: as you can see, this color suits all hair colors and all eye colors. The trick for trying on purple is to try a lighter color, such as lilac or lavender – deep, darker purples, if not done properly tends to look like a bruised eye.
To my redhead readers… can you say BOMBSHELL?! Promise me you’ll try this look out – I think the your hair color and these eyes would look amazing.
The brightness of the lilac against the full lashes, and natural face is so simple and beautiful. So how do you get this look? Very simple:
- Apply lilac eyeshadow on your whole lid up to the crease.
- Apply eyeshadow at the lower lash line and smudge.
- Apply tons of mascara, or even individual false lashes.
- Define your brow shape (keep it natural though) using one of the various brow tools.
- Apply a soft pink blush – you don’t want to take the attention away from your eyes.
- Finish with a soft pink lip balm and skip the gloss.
What do you think about this beauty look? Do you follow beauty trends from the runway? I don’t normally; but when I saw these photos, I had to post! :)
