This make-up trend is said to be a game-changer in the make-up world this season. Violet hues have been making the round this season, and the best way to experiment with this hue is to do a smokey eye with it. Some people think that smokey eyes are daring and a night-time look. But the truth is when these smokey eyes are highlighted with subtle hues then they can be showcased during the daytime as well. With a few simple step syou can achieve this sophisticated look without looking like a goth chick or an easter egg.

How to achieve the look:

  • Start off with a lilac shimmery eyeshadow as the starting base colour.
  • Pack on some black to the outer corner and blend it out so that there are no harsh lines.
  • Use a slightly darker shade of purple in the middle of the eyelid to create a smooth transition between the lilac and the black. This goes without saying, but blend so that it looks flawless.
  • Find a peachy pink shade and use a fluffy blush to apply it above the crease. This gives it a natural gradient.
  • Apply kohl or eyeliner to the lower lash line and smudge it out to give it that smokey effect.
  • Tightline your upper water line in order to give your lashes a fuller look.
  • Apply mascara, and your purple smokey is done
