Plum Eyes

Give your look a fresh and pretty update with plum coloured eye makeup. If you prefer high-octane glamour, try a bolder shade like grape, or pare back with soft lilac tones.

DARK PURPLE

Start by applying a dark plum eye shadow to your eyes’ crease, blending at the outer corner. Then use the same colour to trace your lower lashline.

BRIGHTEN UP

Pick a lighter shade of purple and apply to your eyelid, highlighting at the inner corner for a wide-awake effect.

ENHANCE

Take a medium-sized eye shadow brush and sweep a darker colour – like aubergine or warm brown – above the crease. This colour should sit above the plum eye shadow to add depth and definition.

ADD DEFINITION

Finally, use a kohl pencil to line your upper and lower waterline. Finish off with a flick of black liquid eyeliner on your upper lashes – a cat-eye will look great.  A few layers of mascara and you’ve got the perfect plum-eye!
