It’s the eyeshadow that shouldn’t work. But these stars have done the unthinkable and brought an 80s make-up trend back to life. Purple eyeshadow – in all its hues – has been worn by everyone from Rihanna to SJP . Look at Nicole Richie’s example for inspiration and blend purple shadow into your usual smoky eye for a summery take on the party look.
Make-up artist Ruby Hammer says 'Purple eyeshadow makes hazel, green and brown eyes really stand out and brightens up the face. Although it is a universal shade and can compliment blue eyes as well. You can simply pat it on and blend onto your eyelid, use the Scarlet & Crimson mauve trio, £3.95 which includes two great shades - plumtious and purple haze. Make sure to curl your lashes and finish off with loads of volumising mascara, like Scarlet & Crimson boom lash, £4.95.'
