Powerful Purple Eyeliner

05/12/16 | Beauty, Bobbi Brown, makeup, NARS, Sephora, tarte, Urban Decay

One of the best things about having your own blog and being the sole contributor is you can write about just about anything you want.  And if that means I want to start at least one post a week by commenting about the weather here in New York City, even if that is only where 4% of my readers are, I can with no problem. And let me tell you, today is going to be 75 and sunny and I am absolutely thrilled about it.  Sunglasses and cork wedges, I am so excited for the first pairing of the season. As the temperature heats up my style starts turning more and more colorful and that does not just end at my wardrobe! 

Occasionally, perhaps once a week, I trade my usual black eyeliner for a few swipes of bright blue.  The last time I did this I got four compliments from the most unlikely people and I realize sometimes switching up your look – especially in a casual work environment – can make all of the difference. I have a few great blue liners but now I am looking into to adding purple eyeliner to my collection. I think a pretty purple pop like this look from makeup artist Sharon Farrell is just so pretty:

Don’t you agree? Isn’t the combination stunning?  I think the purple is just so pretty, a great pop especially with her blue eyes. Now my eyes change colors frequently but the majority of the time they are some shade of blue!   I will definitely be turning to Sephora for my new purchase and after a bit of research here are the top six options for purple eyeliner at my favorite beauty store: 

Spring 2016 Purple Eyeliner

 

1 | NARS Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner in Bourbon Street
2 | MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua XL Eye Pencil Waterproof Eyeliner in I-90

4 | Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Psychedelic Sister 

5 | tarte Clay Pot Waterproof Liner in Blackened Plum
6 | Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Violet Ink

 

Have you ever worn purple eyeliner?

    I just worked with a girl who had not purple eye liner but purple mascara. When the light caught her lashes it looked so pretty and I was so jealous but I thought “wow now that is a cool look I want to try” and now here you are posting about eye liner that is purple! Haha weird how the world works that way! But seriously have you tried purple mascara because it was very pretty!!!

    The purple is amazing. This kind of color is perfect for me. Blue eyeliner, blue eyes. Just perfect. I like booby brown as well. Hugs from Poland
