To soften

For a softer interpretation, use less of the 'Deep Plum' and focus more on 'Mauve Pink' and 'Soft Rose' for definition. Apply shimmer only to the very center of the lid and inner corner, keeping the rest of the lid matte and blended. Opt for a softer, smudged pencil liner instead of liquid.

To go bolder

To make it bolder, intensify the 'Deep Plum' in the outer V and deepen the lower lash line. Use 'Amethyst Sparkle' more liberally across the lid, or consider adding a thin, precise liquid liner wing. A more saturated berry lip color would also amplify the overall drama.

Photographs best

This combination of plum and rose will photograph beautifully on your skin tone, enhancing your natural warmth and eye color. The strategic placement of shimmer catches the light without looking overly glittery, ensuring you glow in every shot. Ensure skin is well-prepped and set, particularly around the T-zone, to maintain a fresh, polished look throughout your event.

Wedding-day tip

To lean even more into the bridal aesthetic, ensure all edges are incredibly diffused. Consider adding a barely-there shimmer to the brow bone highlight. The focus should be on a luminous, ethereal glow rather than strong, defined lines. A very subtle champagne or pearl waterline pencil will also brighten the eyes without being too stark.

Avoid

Avoid overly cool-toned grays or silvers, as they can sometimes appear flat or ashy on your olive complexion. Also, steer clear of very intense, opaque metallic shadows all over the lid; our approach emphasizes softness.

Step Three

Eye Color Placement

01

Transition

Using a fluffy blending brush, sweep 'Soft Rose' #D3A7B1 — matte — through the crease and slightly above, blending gently to create a soft wash of color.

02

Crease

Define the crease with 'Mauve Pink' #B17E8C — matte — using a smaller, tapered brush. Focus the pigment in the outer two-thirds of the crease to add dimension without harsh lines.

03

Outer Corner

Press 'Deep Plum' #4D284B — matte — into the outer V of the eye, building intensity slowly. Blend inward into the crease for a seamless, smoky effect that elongates the eye.

04

Lid

Pat 'Rose Gold Shimmer' #9B767E — shimmer — across the entire mobile lid using a flat shader brush, ensuring even distribution and vibrant payoff.

05

Center Lid Pop

For a captivating spark, dab 'Amethyst Sparkle' #844E89 — metallic — with your fingertip or a damp flat brush to the very center of the lid, just above the pupil. This will catch the light beautifully.

06

Inner Corner Highlight

Apply 'Pink Pearl' #D9C3D6 — shimmer — to the inner corner of the eye using a small pencil brush. This brightens and opens the eye, adding a fresh, luminous touch.

07

Brow Bone

Highlight just beneath the arch of the brow with 'Grayed Tan' #D1CFC9 — matte — to subtly lift and refine the brow area. Blend it down into the transition shade.

08

Lower Lash Line

Lightly smoke out the lower lash line by blending 'Mauve Pink' #B17E8C — matte — with a touch of 'Deep Plum' #4D284B — matte — close to the lashes, connecting to the outer V.

09

Liner

A deep brown or plum gel liner, applied thinly along the upper lash line, with a soft, diffused wing that lifts slightly at the outer corner to enhance your eye shape.

10

Lash

Two generous coats of volumizing and lengthening black mascara on both upper and lower lashes. Consider individual lash clusters for added natural fullness and definition, focusing on the outer half of the lash line.

Step Four

Face Placement

A soft, complementary rose or berry-toned cream blush, patted onto the apples of the cheeks and blended upwards towards the temples for a youthful flush.

Step Five

Lip Pairing

Berry

Satin

A beautiful berry lipstick or lip stain with a satin finish will perfectly complete this romantic look, offering a pop of color that balances the eye without competing. Choose a shade with a slightly cool undertone to complement the plums in the eye look.
