@isabelleikpemeThis eye shadow look is deceivingly simple. Just pick a shimmery purple shadow (preferably in loose powder format) and press it onto your lids. From there, finish with mascara.

@maryphillipsJenner's plummy shadow look features pink undertones for a '70s-worthy look. Finish with a neutral, MLBB (my lips but better) lip color.

@makeupbymarioMetallics, anyone? Add shine to the look by dusting highlighter into your inner eye corner.

@nikki_makeupThis electric purple look requires a *super* pigmented eye shadow, like Nars Single Eyeshadow in Sultan ($19). Make it really pop with white eyeliner on your lower waterline and finish off with jet black liquid liner and mascara.

@patricktaAccompanied by a full brow (and yes, attempting the soap brow look here is encouraged), break out a multi-shade palette, applying pastel purple closer to the inner eye corners and blending it gingerly with a punchier purple.

@sarah_novioMatte purples are having a moment. It's a trend you can channel by pressing your top-lids with a pigmented shade and off-setting the powdery look with a glossy lip.

@hungvanngoAdd some shine to your beauty routine with a shimmery purple eye shadow. Pro tip: Shades with pink undertones make a striking statement paired with this season's trending copper hair color.

@nikki_makeupWho says you can't add in some other neighboring shades? This psychedelic look calls on yellows and scarlets to give the purple trend an energetic boost.

@shaymitchellDo purple the Shay Mitchell way by applying a subtle shadow and matching liner along the lower lash line. Bonus points if you take the monochrome moment into your clothing as Mitchell did here with her cute periwinkle blazer.

@nikki_makeupDo it the '80s way with plumes of purple surrounding each eye. To nail the look, be sure to drag the brush out towards the brow for that cat-eye effect.

@isabelleikpemeSpruce up a creamy purple shadow with a green graphic liner. The result? Major drama.

@josecorellaFans of the negative space eyeliner trend, rejoice. This glam calls on a purple eye shadow stick to create dimension atop the eyelid.

@josecorellaFor an evening-ready spin on the smoky eye look, break out a metallic palette of pinks and purples, trading the crease and upper lash-line with the more pigmented shades.

josecorellaSpeaking of a smoky eye, this three-part eye shadow look blends black, white, and purple (an unlikely pairing, we'll add!) to perfection.

@nikki_makeupFor blue-eyed beauty fans, bluesy purples are just what the doctor ordered.

@nikki_makeupThe ultimate short-on-time eye look is a generous dose of über-pigmented purple topped with mascara.

@daisyjelleyThis one's as dramatic as it gets. Update your classic purple by shading in your crease with a deep, shadowy blue, adding aqua tones to the inner eye corners.

@josecorellaLast but not least, a fierce-as-ever cat-eye look, precisely rendered in metallic eye shadow.
