What's a good purple/blue based eyeshadow palette?

My skin tone has yellow tinges to it, and I've found that purples and blues usually compliment my skin tone the best, especially the darker shades. However, I've been trying different palettes for a while now, and I can't seem to find one with an intense enough color to show up properly on my skin. Every time I buy one, the shadow is very dusty, doesn't stick to my skin properly, and hardly tints it at all. Does anybody know of any very heavily pigmented blue/purple palettes?

heads up: jeffree star is coming out with purple-themed "blood lust" palette soon! i know some people are ethically opposed to him/his products, but just thought you might want to know ๐Ÿ™‚

Re: What's a good purple/blue based eyeshadow palette?

hi @AlecDoesMakeup are you using an eyeshadow primer? I find that by applying one prior to applying eyeshadow it really helps the pigment transfer properly. My favourites are: 

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Original and MAC cosmetics Prep + Prime 24-Hour Extend base.

As for purple blue shadows/liners my favourites are:

Morphe 35V

HUDA BEAUTY - Mercury Retrograde Eyeshadow Palette

MARC JACOBS BEAUTY - Highliner Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner - (Plum)Age 60

MARC JACOBS BEAUTY - Highliner Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner - (Wave)Length 68

Charlotte Tilbury Starry Eyes to Hypnotize Palette

STILA - Shade Mystรจre Liquid Eyeshadow

STILA - Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow - Vivid Sapphire

URBAN DECAY - Eyeshadow - Psychedelic Sister

Happy Shopping!

I would recommend the Morphe 39S "Such a Gem" palette and the Kylie Cosmetics Purple Palette.

 

Both are really nice, however, the Kylie Cosmetics one is less intense and does have more of a dusty look to it.  But it does have the blue undertones in it, no blue shadows though.

 

The Morphe palette has a ton of purples to pick from.  The only issue you may have though is that the purples seem to all have red/pink undertones.

 

Both are very blendable and pretty though!  The Morphe one is a few dollars cheaper and comes with many more shades, the Kylie one feels more luxurious but only has 9 shades for $42.

 

Good luck!

@AlecDoesMakeup Check out the Menagerie Cosmetics Violet Ink Micro Palette for an all purples palette that packs a pigment punch.

 

Or, there's the VISEART - Theory Eyeshadow Palette - Theory IV Amethyst which has some nice purples, or the Viseart Dark EDIT Eyeshadow Palette 0.42 oz/ 12 g if you want darker shadows in general -- it has several nice purples, and a good selection of dark supplementary colors as well.

 

If you want something less expensive, Juvia's Place The Magic and The Masquerade Mini palettes both have a couple of nice purples, and are quite pigmented, though I'm not sure if I'd describe either as purple based. They also came out with a 6-pan all purple palette just recently, but I haven't yet tried that one myself, and I heard that it wasn't quite as good as their usual formula.

 

Or, there's also the Coloured Raine Power Palette, which I haven't tried myself, but I've seen several positive reviews of.

 

Additionally, if you're okay with single shadows, Pat McGrath's Purple Reign is a fantastic purple, if a bit pricey for a single.
