We’re at the Beauty Insider just simply can’t wait to rock this pastel eyeshadow. 

In fact, Megan Markle was also spotted with lilac eyeshadow in 2020 during a surprise appearance in a CNN special segment for Heroes TV. As she was often seen donning smokey makeup with nude shades, the lilac eye makeup was something that is out of the ordinary. If you’re starting to feel hesitant about this shade know that lilac actually works wonders for all skin tones, especially those with warm or olive. If you happen to be a brunette and possess brown eyes, you have definitely hit the jackpot as such features complement lilac shade. To get you fully ready for this new lilac eyeshadow trend, we have listed a few inspo that you need to add to your mood board asap. 

The List of Lilac Eyeshadow Inspo For Your Mood Board

1.Sparkly Lilac

If you want to make heads turn in a good way, a metallic lilac with a shimmery finish is the way to go. Think of it as a throwback to the 90s makeup look. If you wish to tone it down a little bit, you can opt for a subtle shade of lilac. For those who are feeling a bit bolder, we recommend that you opt for a buildable formula that allows you to highlight the shade more. This look is perfect for an evening look when paired with glossy lipstick and thick liner. 

2. All Over Lilac

This eye makeup look is ideal for those who prefer a subtle shade of lilac without going overboard. Plus, it does not only help to make your eyes pop, but it delivers an ethereal vibe that looks utterly stunning. Simply take a lilac shade that features a matte finish and apply it all around the eyes including the inner corner. If you want to accentuate your eyes, you can lightly dab a pearlescent eyeshadow at the centre of it. The key to achieving this look is by paying attention to the lashes, so you can either opt for fake lashes or mascara that features a volumizing formula. 

3. Shades of Lilac and Blue

We know that not all of you Beauties are into single eyeshadow, but with these splashes of colours inspired by shades of lilac and blue, you will certainly never look plain. The combination of different shades and tones are just simply a chef’s kiss. However, this eye makeup look is definitely not for the faint of heart. If you are feeling bold enough to give this look a try, we recommend that you keep it minimal with the lip makeup just to balance it all out. 

4. Subtle Touch

This list of lilac eyeshadow inspo would not be complete without a makeup look inspired by Meghan Markel. During her appearance on the show, she was seen with a subtle shade of lilac eyeshadow and soft baby pink lipstick. As lilac eyeshadow can be difficult to match with other lip colours, we suggest that you opt for a pink hue lippie and gently dab the eyeshadow on your lips for some monochromatic finish. Whereas, a combo between lilac eyeshadow and clear lip gloss is perfect for those who want to stick to the pastel makeup theme.

5. Sultry Lilac

Honestly, lilac eyeshadow is not the first thing that pops into our mind whenever we think of a sultry makeup look. However, that is totally wrong as our celebrity girl crush, Shanina Shaik just proved otherwise. If you want to recreate this look, it is all about accentuating the eyes with thick eyeliner, volumizing mascara and a dark tone of lilac eyeshadow. 

6. Graphic Liner

Last year it is all about donning neon shades of graphic liner and if you just simply can’t give up on the trend yet, this look might be an excuse to do so. We recommend that you swipe a nude eyeshadow and finish the look with a lilac graphic liner. But if you want to stick to the theme, you can choose a light shade of lilac eyeshadow and spice it up with a white graphic liner.
