Recommendation for good purple liquid eyeliner

FairyShazza

Hello

was wondering if you make up junkies can help me at all (know theres a few on here). I have puchased a 50's style dress in a deep cadbury puple colour to wear to a wedding next month. I have a fantastic black pill box hat/fasinator with a purple feather on it to wear with it and intend on adding a cropped black cardie/bolero and killer high heels.

I'm just trying to decide what to do about my make up. I usually tend to play up my eyes and then go for a more neutral lip. I want to try and keep my make up in with the feel of the outfit so was considering a sweep of eyeliner in a matching kind of cadbury purple shade with false lashes and nude lips. Purple isn't a colour I tend to wear for eye make up so am looking for some recommendations for a good purple liquid eyeliner from those in the know or some recommendations/tips for other ideas on how I can do my make up.

Thank you in advance.

MAC sell 2 products which might me of use to you


Liquidlast in 'Electrolady'


Fluidline in 'Macroviolet'

I think the 'Electrolady' is more of a Cadbury purple

I tend to ind the cheapest liquid eyeliners the best and easiest to apply. I have a few purple liquids (I wear a lot of purple eyemakeup) but not sure which are still available.

What I would say is that it might be worth a little contrast in your eyemake up as the rest of your utfit is so cordinated....green?

UWG - I love the look of the Electrolady eyeliner there! I think maybe I might take the dress along to the MAC counter and see how they compare in colour.

Lostinrates - hmmmm hadn't thought about a contrasting eyeshadow. I do wear a lot of green on my eyes usually so it could be worth a try. I have a few weeks to play around with looks as the wedding isn't till the end of Feb. This is why I'm getting prepared now

Try both with the outfit, or if you have some existing purple shadow add it to a black/grey for a smokey eye with soft ness, or the green for zing. Sometimes over co-ordination works less well...sometimes of course its the ticket.....try both:)

I was actually considering trying something like this. I have a MAC loose pigment in a really nice purple that I've never had the chance to use. Was thinking I could use the purple colour in the inner corner and then blend it into Dark Soul pigment towards the outer part of the eye. I do this quite a lot with MAC Platinum / Dark Soul Pigments and it looks quite effective.

Me thinks a couple of weekends playing is in order!

GOSH (sold at Superdrug) do great liquid liners in all colours, so I'd think they'd have a purple one. Really recommend them - I think they're about a fiver each.
