Pink and purple are a pretty combination, so why not use them in makeup to accentuate your features? Eye makeup can really make specific iris colors pop, allowing you to magnify your beauty.
The great thing about makeup is that it’s a way to express your personality and get creative.
Many eye makeup designs suit different shapes, temperaments, and occasions. For example, suppose you want to bring in the warm pinkness of typical princess aesthetics. In that case, eye makeup can help you feel like royalty.
On the other hand, if you prefer an edgier look, you can experiment with eyeshadow shapes, making the eyes appear more elongated than they really are.
