Purple is everywhere these days! I'm talking "your lips but better" shades of berry all the way to the deepest eggplant....and that's just on the lips! Metallic plums, grayish purples and deep creamy shades of aubergine polish. There is a purple for everyone. I'm surprised to come across so many wearable shades but it's exciting to see such a great selection from drugstores to high end brands. A few years ago, purple was just as difficult, if not more so, to pull off than a confident red. Purple was more of a "rebel" color but now going into Fall, we're seeing all shades of purple from the fashion runway to the local drugstore.
I think most of us have at least one item of clothing in the purple family...maybe a soft lilac...a deep plum or a vibrant deep purple. Blue eyes, green or brown, you can pull of the color purple. If you've never experimented with the color, now is the time to try! Hold up a scarf or sweater up to your neckline and look in a mirror. Do you look awake, bright, happy? If you look washed out or tired, try another shade, either lighter or darker, until you find one that suits your skin tone.
Soft lavender shadows can be a great way to stay natural while a shimmery amethyst can look fantastic for a night out.
Whether you're already a fan of purple or you're tempted to branch out of your comfort zone, there are wonderful products currently in stores and more coming soon. Limited edition kits (holiday season is around the corner!) always include at least one or two colors that "pop" which allow you to experiment with the trends while staying grounded by more neutral colors as well.
