Laura Mercier eyeshadow in African Violet

Hi there!

Having brown eyes, one of my favourite shades to wear is purple. I find purples and greens really bring out the depth of brown eyes.

My current go to eyeshadow has to be Laura Merciers 'African Violet' I knew as soon as I swatched this that I'd have to buy it, and have worn it every time I've worn purple eyeshadow.



 African Violet is very similar to MAC's 'Trax' eyeshadow. They're both a pink toned purple with gold shimmer running through, but I'd say African Violet is a little lighter than 'Trax' and a little more pink.



This is crazy pigmented, and blends out beautifully with no fallout. I usually use this as a wash of colour across my lid with a darker matte shade of purple or cool toned dark grey and it looks gorgeous.
I have tried this with a spray of fix+ and packed it onto my lid for a more intense look, and it's unreal. This is such a unique and beautiful colour.

If you're into purples, this is a must for your collection!

Have you tried any Laura Mercier eyeshadows? Which shade would you recommend?
