I have a thing for amethysts, sapphires, diamonds, anything jewel related really. What girl doesn’t??
{My bedazzled shirt of jewels (fake of course!), was my inspiration.}
Here’s my face honoring these rich shadow shades. For those that want to ease into the jewel tones, I will start with a more subdued eye look most could pull off consisting of just 1 shadow + liner color (be bold with the liner, easier to pull off than the shadow), all the way to a more dramatic version with 2 shadows + 2 bold liner shades.
{Started here with just 1 light amethyst (purple) shadow + metallic purple liner.}
{Adding a deeper amethyst (purple!) shade to my crease to add dimension and pop of color!}
{2 shades of purple.}
{Adding a sapphire (blue!) shade to the lower lash line for even more colorful fun!}
{Don’t forget the diamond (white!) shimmer in the tear duct!}
{Finished look!}

Of course keeping your cheeks and lips much more subtle and low key is important when pulling off multiple jewel shades on your peepers so as to keep from looking like you’ve gone overboard! I have a major crush on this newest purple gloss shade by Revlon. It looks scary un-wearable in the tube, but quite the opposite when on and gives lips a beautiful understated lilac shimmer.
I love this combo of purple + blues which really highlight my brown eye color. If you’ve got blue eyes, think about switching out the blue liner and replacing it with an emerald liner (green!) to go with your purple shadow. My hazel, green, and gray eyed friends can stick with my color palette above for maximum contrast.
