Purple reigns when it comes to eye shadow | Eva Wiseman

At the Jeremy Scott show, make-up artist Kabuki created what he called an “80s-inspired, smoky eye done in colour”, sheer and pretty, but very purple. It’s less surly, less sultry than black, which is great if the summer means you’re less grumpy than usual – and, built up gently, it’s remarkably flattering.
