Three’s A Trend: Purple Smoky Eye Makeup

by Megan Gustashaw

We’ve seen our fair share of graphic black liner and pale, pretty complexions at the fall 2014 shows thus far but this particular trend – a new take on smoky eye makeup using plum and burgundy shades – is the one that we keep coming back to in our minds. With glowy, healthy skin and high-shine hair the look is luminous and edgy at the same time. Check it out:

At Rachel Comey, Nars makeup artist Hannah Murray created a smoky plum eye makeup look using a deep aubergine lip crayon called Train Bleu and a mix of black and purple-hued shadows on top and bottom lids .

At Helmut Lang, lipstick was also used on eyelids, this time a rich burgundy shade was applied from the crease to the lash line followed by a pressed powder to set the look. TZR Tip: the ultra-gorgeous lipstick is brand new for fall 2014 and called Deborah Audacious. Keep an eye out!

And at Marissa Webb, Maybelline artists used a purple-hued shadow from the brand’s Natural Smokes quad along with black mascara for added drama and definition. The use of a warm pink blush on cheeks created a monochromatic effect that we really loved.
