And you know what that means? Yes! It’s a look we’re about to see everywhere and really – it’s easy to see why.

You see, purple can be worn bright and bold, but if you’re more the soft and sweet type you can wear a soft lilac instead and yet still look not only pretty but very much on trend.

If you’re a bold, bodacious type who loves to turn heads and in the best way possible, opt for a strong, true violet through to deep purple and wear this shade from lash line to brow.

Keep it rich and dark towards the lash and lighten as you move towards the brow for a modern ombre effect. Use an eyeshadow brush to blend or, if you prefer, a finger tip.

Those who work in conservative environments or simply prefer a more subtle look, add a touch of soft lilac to the upper lid only.

Blend carefully. If even that is a bit too much, apply a purple eyeliner along the upper lash line or even, along the water line of the lower lid. No matter which way you do it, you’ll look modern and more importantly, pretty as a picture.

Scroll down for perfect purples to try right now.
