Purple may not be as bold as red or blue but it has its own charm. That actually may be putting it lightly, considering the color was often reserved for royalty in ancient times and was legendary musician Prince’s favorite. These days, of course, we’re free to wear whatever color we want. If you want to have fun with this particular color (and feel regal while you’re at it) though, here are purple makeup looks to try.
For the eyes
There are countless ways to do a purple eyeshadow makeup look, but if there’s one you need to try right now, it’s this mod-inspired one. It’s simple but impactful. It’s pretty easy to do too — that is if you’ve mastered applying your eyeliner already. Even though you may be an amateur at lining, this look’s still worth trying.
This one’s a great option if you want the clean, bold look of the first look but without stressing over the eyeliner. The rhinestones add a whimsical touch to the look too.
Don’t want it plain but don’t want to go the classic route either? Add a pop of contrasting color like orange.

For the cheeks
Most purple makeup looks have the color on the eyes because, well, it’s “safer” to do. But if you want to take a beauty risk, putting purple on your cheeks is the way to go. And there’s no one better to inspire you to take the plunge than Rihanna.

For the lips
The easiest one to pull-off from this list of purple makeup looks is, of course, putting on lipstick. The only thing to remember is to choose one that goes well with your skin’s undertone. If you’re in the mood for it, too, why not try a gradient lip in purple? Here are three ways to do it.
