While dark grey eyes may set the mood for autumn and winter, violet eyes are a softer and more delicate alternative for the summer months. This season, beauty lovers are swapping their dove, steel grey and slate tones for the pastel embrace of light purple hues.

Perfectly suited for brown eyes, the violet eye makeup trend can breathe new life into your peepers and complement a sun-kissed summer complexion. However, if you have a porcelain complexion and light eyes, softly blended violet eyeshadow and black liquid eyeliner can instantly beautify your visage.

To achieve the look, apply varying shades of purple shadow, from light lilac to eggplant. Try using powder eyeshadow and a thin makeup brush for an easy, soft summertime look.

If you’re aiming to rock the trend now, swap your red and magenta-hued lipstick for nude or soft pink lips. Try adding a single coat of mascara, accentuate your eyes with black kohl eyeliner and create a flawless glow with liquid illuminating foundation. Whether you prefer darker shades of purple or airy pastel tones, violet eyes may be a gorgeous statement for either night or day.
