Love It or Leave It: Katie's Lavender Lids

Katie's Lavender Lids

Katie Holmes seems to be looking ahead to spring. The actress dusted her eyelids in a pale lavender eyeshadow for last week’s U.K. premiere of Valkyrie. Depending on your complexion and eye color, I think this hue could actually produce some beautiful results. If nothing else, a colorful punch of purple might help take your mind off the weather (should you happen to live in a cold locale.) Achieve a similar look with elf's Brightening Eye Color in Silver Lining, just $1 at eyeslipsface.com.

I really don't enjoy purples OR blues as eyecolors....

It's awfully hard to pull it off.

I think it looks lovely on her!
Elf eyeshadow is crappy though! Don't wear it if you have contacts and value your gift of vision!

She would have been better off not applying it up to her eyebrows since it doesn't do much for her skintone.

It doesn't really look amazing on her, but it is a change from her usual plain face so that's good.

I'm a cosmetics know-nothing, but I think she looks radiant.

It tends the bring out redness (purple) but it does look fab on brown eyes. Actually I asked my hairdresser/makeup artist the other day about what I could do to look "younger" with my makeup (feeling old at 27 haha) and she suggested a punch of lavendar might brighten things up!

I like this shade, but I think it would be more flattering if it weren't covering the entire lid - maybe just the lower portion of the lid.

purple is one of my favorite eyeshadow shades, so i love it!

meh, its alright, it is not expected for the winter season, and looks a little pre-teen.
I thought bold colors were in...?
