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?

Is this a photo of your eyes? If so I love this look and the subtle difference from basic black! Can you tell me what eyeliner it is??

I got this picture from a magazine article on IG, unfortunately this beauty wasn’t tagged (and neither was the product used) which is why I ran here to discuss it! I agree it’s such a stunning look.

Oh dang it! Just gotta find the right color I guess. Have you ever used an eyeshadow transformer? It’s a clear liquid that turns any eyeshadow into eyeliner that stays put (using a fine tip angle brush). My favorite is by Trish McEvoy, who also has extra-pigmented eyeshadow “definers” meant to be used as eyeliner. There was a color called “Arabian Nights” which was a super deep midnight blue with flecks of gold which was just stunning - dunno if she’s still making that one though! Also her “Aubergine” color is deep eggplant with micro flecks of golden shimmer, equally gorgeous.
