Makeup for purple dress: gold-bronze eye, mauve face, berry lip

For women in a purple, violet or plum dress, deciding to match it or set it off. A gold and bronze lid that warms the purple, with a warm nude lip. Mauve on the lids, cheeks and lips in one soft tone. A deep berry matte lip with clean lids and a soft violet sheen. Each is shown at an evening reception, a winter dinner and a daylight window. You can type a different purple as a direction.

Frequently asked questions

Is the mauve look a match for the dress or a contrast?

It is a match. Mauve runs across the lids, cheeks and lips, so the face and the purple belong to one colour family.

Does the berry lip work with a lighter purple?

It is shown on violet, plum and lavender, so the lighter lavender setting is one of the three pictures.

Can I ask for a different purple?

Yes. Type the shade as a direction, such as lilac or aubergine, and the three looks are the starting point.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
