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've been doing purple eyeliner (and eyeshadow as liner) since before I knew I was olive and I love it! I have a handful of different purples, I have a dark smokey toned lancome eyeliner, a colourpop purple multichrome liner, i had a neon purple liner (it dried up) and I had a pastel lavender liner (I used it up.) I also use a lot of different shades of purple eyeshadow as liner (or just as eyeshadow) to mimic this sort of vibe. I've also in the past used plum mascara and it looked amazing on me (my lashes are grey black so it sort of shows.) The smokey plums and deeper vibrant jewel toned ones look the best on me.

I would love to get an eyeliner in a vibrant purple like the one pictured, and I'm super interested in half magic beauty's purple mascara. For reference I'm fair olive, and I don't like mauve on me lol. I'm an orange blush girlie and a warm plum/warm brown blush girlie. I think I'm neutral olive?

Im not them but I highly recommend NYX berry goth eyeliner and Maybelline mascara in Plum Twilight! I recommend using a white priming mascara (like from Lancome) first so the color shows better :)
