Fall 2009 Makeup: Purple or Plum Lids, Lips, & Tips

July 21st, 2009 // Beauty, Seasonal Makeup Trends

purple-eyeshadow-fall-2009 The IT shade for lids, lips, and fingertips this fall is purple – or lavender. Purple may seem like a daunting shade for anyone to pull off, but the key to sporting purple or plum for Fall 2009 is picking a hue that you’re most comfortable with, from lavender to the deepest of plum. If you want to sport a deeper shade of purple or plum but with less shock factor, choose a sheer shade with a little shimmer.

If you’re sporting purple lids, choose a chocolate, mauve, nude, or translucent lip color or gloss to accompany. If you’re doing a deep plum lippie, choose a shimmery taupe eyeshadow to complement the shade without competing. Opting for a sheer lavender gloss? Sweep a chocolate eyeshadow across your lids, fading out toward the brow bone. Hot!
