I just bought purple eyeshadow, but I need tips for applying it. I have big brown almond shaped eyes.

Purple contrasts really well with brown eyes and will make them look very pretty -- good choice! First, apply a very light cream colored eyeshadow above your eyelids (directly below your eyebrows). Then, sweep on a light shimmery purple above your crease, and use an iridescent shimmer pencil in the lightest available shade along the crease of the eyelids and right underneath your eyebrows on the brow bones (to provide contrast and brighten your skin tone). You can also use the shimmer pencil on your cheekbones to make them look great and stand out. Then, finally apply a darker shade of purple right beneath your crease of your eyelids and proceed with mascara and/or eyeliner (if you use them, it's definitely not necessary. . . .).
You can usually get these products at just a regular drug store, but if you can't find them, try an Ulta or Sephora store. They are usually low priced and will look great!
Hope this helps you -- good luck!! :D

Apply the darkest shade of purple on your eyelid, and then sweep some really light purple shimmerish eyshadow under the brow. The purple is a really good choice for brown eyes, it makes them POP!

First apply some pale pink or beige shimmer shadow to your lids, and then line your eyes with the purple shadow using a narrow sponge tip applicator, and finish with black mascara. This will really show off your brown eyes!

in case you have better than one shade, placed the darkest on your lid, then next on your crease then the excellent one rested above the crease. If purely one, word it throughout your lid and a touch on your crease. do no longer use a broom, use an applicator. Brushes get the shadow everywhere and with darker colours this is fairly undesirable. desire this helps. :)

u could put it on as eyeliner, or in your crease, or over your whole lid, OR, u could put it on the bottom eye lid as eye liner as well, just use a good slanted brush....hope that helped.

But it on the little white thing that is on a stick. Rub it on your eyelid. It is not that hard. I have seen 10 year olds do it. They can even apply their own mascarra, blush, ect.

Okay, first...lift up that little swabby Q-tip thingy, brush it
against the eyeshadow, and here's the big finale!--- PUT THE SWABBY Q-TIP THINGY ON YOUR EYELIDS!!!
It's not that hard.
