Pallets of purple

Purple Makeup | Purple Colour Palette

  1. Mix up different shades of complimenting colours with Revlon Beyond Natural Cream to Powder Eye Shadow in Plumberry Prune.  This quad has all you need for purple prettified eyes – perfect for a day or for nailing that natural look. RSP R135.
  2. Sticking with cream shadows, check out Estee Lauder Double Wear Cream shadow in Vintage Violet.  An absolutely gorgeous shade in a deep, royal purple that is so easy to blend and you can wear it light or pile on the layers to build the colour and really give your eyes the “wow” factor. Simply stunning for green and blue eyes, but also looks gorgeous on brown eyed gals.  RSP R195.
  3. Yardley Lash Advanz Volume Mascara adds loads of volume to plump out those lashes.  The flexible brush is surrounded by tiny, solid bristles that cover each lash, over and over;  the end result is defined, dramatic lashes. RSP R79.95.
  4. For gorgeous, perky lips check out Revlon Beyond Natural Cream Lipgloss in Berry. RSP R79.95
  5. Perfectly matching colours for “Dark Angel” eyes – Blend up a storm with Rimmel London Colour Rush Trio in Dark Angel.  It has a shot of silver, a shot of purple and a shot of black to help you build intense, eyes. RSP R69.95
  6. My all-time favourite nail colour is from Estee Lauder.  Pure Colour Nail Lacquer in Amethyst – You just have to try it to see what I mean.  It’s like wearing precious jewels on your fingertips.
  7. Another gorgeous shadow quad from Revlon Colour Stay.  Check out Berry Bloom, which contains four complimenting shades that can be worn separately or blended together for eyes that make a statement. R135.
  8. Estee Lauder Radiant Wine Signature Lipstick is a perfect mix of deep red, with an almost purple tinge – just like a good bottle of red wine. RSP  R210.
  9. Loreal Paris Made for Me Naturals for Dark Skin Tones is a lovely trio of colour that is used to apply an effect to the lid and define the brow.  It comes with two mini applicators – one for adding shadow and an angled, bristle brush for brushing brows.
  10. Estee Lauder Pure Colour Gloss sticks come in a variety of colours,  many in varying shades of purple and lilac.  RSP R185.
