Spring 2010 Color Trend: Purple
by Tamara
Purples, lavenders and lilacs are in for Spring. While these tones could be somewhat intimidating, the key is finding the right undertone that suits your skin. If your skin leans towards light to fair, you could certainly get away with wearing shimmery purples and lilacs as these have cooler undertones. Olive skin tones can take on matte purples, even pastels! Look for brighter tones or deep, plummy shades if your skin leans towards tan/dark skin tones to pack a punch. If you have brown or green eyes, purple eyeshadow is a sure winner to make your peepers pop!
Are you ready to incorporate purple in your beauty routine? Here are some suggestions:
NARS Nail Polish in Purple Rain - described as a gothic purple, it is rich and shimmery, bound to become a classic.
What colors you are feeling for Spring? How would you wear purple?
Tamara is our Beauty Editor who will be rocking purple this Spring. She also blogs about beauty and fashion at Brunette and Pink.

Love that you posted about purple - as a woman with brown eyes, you clearly know that the purple makes them pop and shine.
Deborah Lippman is excellent and highly underrated! She has a great selection of colors and the polish lasts quite awhile.
great post!
I have been all into red, red, red and just started experimenting with pinkish colors but purple is inspiring! Such a positive color!
Since purple makes us hazel-eyed girl's pop, I've been using purple all year round because I love it!

@SHOPJNSQ: I must agree with you- purple is definitely my go to eyeshadow color these days...
@Kristin: I'm stil searching for that perfect red lip color... Alas haven't found a suitable one yet!
@modediktat: Ahhhhh. If only spring could come sooner!!! xx
@drollgirl: Yeah- mad purple fever up in here! xx
purples/lilacs work really well on me since i am so pale...always have purple or silvery purple eye-shadow.
i LOVE the color of that NARS nail polish!

I am definitely digging those purple nail polishes. I am actually wearing a Lilac color right now.
That Deborah Lippman polish is infinitely covetable! I might have to get myself a bottle of that.
I love beautiful lilac shadows but there is something in those pigments that dries my skin out almost immediately - flakey skin on the upper eyelid isn't so attractive so I have to forego many of the striking colours. It's really not fair!
