Do you want to accent your eyes but would rather not have the high drama of thick black liner or smoky shadow? Try black’s softer, more demure cousin, purple. Eggplant and plum hues are always in for fall and they work just as well to brighten and highlight the eyes. You can smudge the liner close to the lash line for a barely-there look or create a thicker line for more depth. Urban Decay’s new Ink for Eyes in Eggplant and Smashbox’s Cream Eyeliner in Midnight Purple are applied with a brush and have the creamy consistency of liquid eyeliner, but the more forgiving nature of pencil.

What hues are your eyes sporting?
