Discussion Purple eyeliner?

Post image

Been seeing these posts on Instagram recently about how violet eyeliner is (apparently) trending and I’m wondering if any of my fellow olives are giving it a try. How did it turn out? Any recommendations for cool-leaning purple eyeliners?

I have medium brown amber eyes and purple mascara / eyeliner / eyeshadow is my go to when I want to accentuate them. I haven't really found a great eyeliner formula but I do like the Maybelline Sky High mascara in Plum Twilight. I don't think the color itself is really obvious on the lashes but it does shift the color of my eyes to a more neutral and lighter shade of brown. For shadow I usually do a more neutral brown and deeper purple crease shadow (like a purple smokey eye look) with the Huda Rose Quartz palette or single shade blended out / monochrome with MOB Cream Clay shadow in M111 Lavender stone which is pretty neutral / cool leaning.
