    Arrow What lipstick shade goes with purple eye make up?

    I usually wear typical pin up make up- red lips, black winged liquid liner, rosy cheeks. Today I was at Sephora and decided to get something completely different. I got Urban Decay's liner in "Vice" which is a purple and also their heavy metal sparkly liner that's purple also (you're supposed to put the sparkle liner on top of the reg purple eyeliner for a pretty effect) Anyway, I was in a rush so didn't ask the sales girl what lippie would go good with it. Would red be ok? I really want to try this look out at the club tonight!

    Thanks ladies!

    If you're looking for a statement color for your lips to match purple eye makeup, I'd probably go with pink rather than red, but then I'm biased, as fuchsia and darker purples are one of my favorite color combinations for both clothes and makeup. It's a combination that's found in nature. Red goes great with the pin-up look, but it can look a bit harsh with purple if you don't get exactly the right shades of both colors. Have fun with the new makeup :-)

    Nude, nude pink? Since you're going for strong eye makeup.

    Yea^ Def. a pinky based nude, & yes to having more toned down if you're doing a strong eye. Or, if you want something strngr, how bout a sheer gloss? Since glosses are sheer, You could maybe do a purply one, not too strong depending?

    Maybe a brown- or gold-toned lip? Again, don't go too bold w/ the lip choice if you're doing a bold eye.

    That said, my 'stripper-fied' eye makeup is typically purple or gold/brown eyeliner, heavy mascara (tho no false lashes), usually a gold-dominant smokey eye, & often a gold- or medium pink-based lipgloss. I also had a favourite dark red lipstick that I only wore w/ two dark red (like, red wine colour) outfits since it matched. I don't do a huge wing on my eyeliner tho -- a bit thickened, slightly cat's eye at the outer corners. My main point is that purple eyeliner can be done boldly, but it can also be used in a more subtle way that won't make you look overdone.

    I went with a MAC gloss in Star Nova. It's pink and shinnnny

    But the reaction from the costumers was total confusion lol They were like, oh you went with a completely different look huh? First my hair went from super long to very short and now this. They are like babies, honestly I made good money anyway.

    I don't see a problem with mixing purple on your eyes and red on your lips. It's a strip club; you're allowed to look over-the-top.

    Depends on the shade of purple. I just bought some bombass gold gloss Cover Girl Lip Lava. And then I wore it with deep magenta in my eye creases. ELECTRIC!!! But when I want to tone it down I use nude lip glosses. Tonight Im doing the reverse. Gold shimmer lids, it's like a nude amped up times 10. And then for my lips another Cover Girl Lip Lava 850 Its a shiny hot pink magenta color. But that's just me. I don't like too much berry,red plums all over my face. I like to balance it out. I always think I look like my Mom when I do that lol

    I agree with nude. Purple eyeshadow with nude lips is one of my favorites.
