It's the color of the year 2018, dixit Pantone: ultra violet.

Carole Colombani, make-up artist, gives us her precious advices to appropriate this color to the make-up department.

Who can allow purple makeup?

"All the world can adopt the trend! Clear skin, matte or black, the violet adapts to all skin tones, but also to all colors of iris.On the only downside: " No total purple look! This creates a flat sensation on the face, and hardens the features. "

With which colors to associate it?

"If we put purple on the eyes, we can associate it with a peach blush or a rusty mouth, recommends our expert.You can also mix purple with gold or silver to further illuminate the eyes. black in flush eyelashes will make it denser.

If you wear purple on the mouth, it is associated with a complexion and clean eyebrows . It brings radiance to the face thanks to the technique of strobing . We polish it all with a touch of black mascara , or even a black line of liner , more graphic. "

Purple makeup: the good beauty look from morning to evening

  • During the day

"We work on the eyes with a cream to create a purple halo a little 70. We can then associate it with a coral gloss.

Or it is associated with a natural taupe base, which is carved purple at the level of the lashes and the outer corner of the upper eyelid. Then, we marry him with lots of black mascara that showcases him.

The complexion must be impeccable, fresh, illuminated and blush . Leave your mouth neutral with a peach-colored balm. "

  • For evening

"I like mixing a purple blush with a graphite and stretching it a little further out of the eye.The stretched shape gives it an 80's look, but the graphite brings back a more rocky feeling.I add a kohl purple black (like a black fake) inside the eye to complete.For the mouth, I opt rather a warm color.

In both cases, it is necessary to prepare the skin, especially that of the eye contour. So we use a good concealer , to leave no shade blue / purple ring that would be enhanced by the use of purple eye shadow. We then make up the eyes.

Be careful, powder shades tend to fall under the eyes, so we think to sweep them with a suitable brush. "
