How steady your hand is with a liner decides which of these 5 looks suits you, since the winged and decorative liner looks demand far more control than the lip or the blended shadow.
If your hands wobble, the deep purple lipstick or the purple eyeshadow blended into black asks for far less precision, and a lip pencil or a clean fluffy brush is all either one takes.
If you like precision, the wing and the decoration give you something sharper to build.
1. Black Winged Eyeliner with Purple Eyeshadow
A sharp black wing over purple shadow works because the 2 colors do different jobs: the purple adds color, and the black draws the shape. Keep the shadow soft and the line crisp.
Blend the purple first, then draw the wing last so any fallout can be wiped away before you line.
Start the wing at the outer corner and point it toward the end of your brow, then fill in from the lash line. A gel or liquid liner holds the sharpest edge.
Matching both eyes is the hard part. Draw each wing, then step back from the mirror and compare before you fill in.

2. Deep Purple Lipstick
Deep purple lipstick carries the whole look, so the eyes can stay in the same family without competing. Shimmering purple shadow with a dark lip is the pairing I’d pick.
Line the lips first with a pencil close to the lipstick shade.
It keeps the edge clean, and dark colors show every wobble. Press the color on with a lip brush rather than swiping straight from the bullet.
Blot once and reapply for more depth. Check your teeth before you leave, since dark pigment shows there fast.

3. Purple Eyeshadow Blended Into Black
Purple melting into black gives the eye a gradient, and a smooth blend is what sells it. Any visible stripe where the 2 meet breaks the effect.
Put the black at the outer corner and the crease, and keep the purple on the center lid and inner area.
Use a clean fluffy brush to sweep the border back and forth until it fades. Build the black in thin layers, because it is much easier to add darkness than to lift it.
A clean brush used only for blending does more for the gradient than any product you buy.

4. Glitter Eyeliner with Purple and Black Shadows
Purple glitter laid over a black wing adds sparkle without changing the shape, and I like that it needs no extra shadow work. The black line gives the glitter something to sit on.
Draw the wing first and let it set.
Then dab glitter liner or a glitter gel along the top of the line, pressing rather than dragging so the particles stay put. A tacky base helps if the glitter looks patchy.
Keep it to the upper lid, since loose glitter tends to travel down the face. Remove it with an oil-based cleanser.

5. Black Decorative Eyeliner Over Purple Shadow
Stars and swirls drawn in black over purple shadow turn the eye into a small piece of graphic art. A fine-tip liquid liner or a thin detail brush gives the control this needs.
Finish the shadow and the winged line before adding any decoration.
Sketch the stars lightly first, then trace the swirls outward from the wing so the design feels connected to it. Keep the pattern symmetrical on one side only if you are nervous about matching.
Plan for patience: detail work takes longer than a standard wing, and a cotton swab dipped in remover fixes slips.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who should wear purple eyeshadow?
Purple eyeshadow can suit a variety of skin tones, and it works especially well for bold looks.
A soft purple blended with a crisp black wing gives you color without losing definition. If you want the eyes to stay in the same family as a dark lip, shimmering purple is the shade I’d pick.
What is the black makeup around the eyes called?
It is usually called eyeliner, or kohl when it is a soft, smudgy pencil.
Gel and liquid liners give the sharpest black edge on top of a purple lid, because they set fast and don’t smudge into the shadow. Draw it after blending the shadow so you can wipe away any fallout before lining.
How can an older woman make her eyes look bigger?
Start the black wing at the outer corner and point it toward the end of your brow, then fill in from the lash line.
That angle lifts and lengthens the eye. Keep the purple shadow soft and blended, since a crisp line against soft color draws the shape without heaviness.
