Purple eyeshadow is absolutely popping into fall, challenging neutrals for dominance. While subtlety remains king, vivid purples offer a fresh royal rebellion.

Echoes of Prince's iconic hues collab with ‘80s glam, ushering us into a post-pandemic world of unapologetic color saturation.

The blendability of the pigments shines—perfected shading techniques result in playful or powerful peepers without the garishness.

This isn't a trend for the underconfident. Brave appliqués meet unsure executions as brands' purples sometimes miss the mark between vibrant and sultry.

Group-chat consensus: swipe left on boring nudes; bring in the bold with Urban Decay's palette. Just ask your bestie.
