Lavender makeup is one of those spring pastel colors that can go one of two ways: It either makes you resemble an Easter egg or a really cool Instagram influencer — if worn correctly. The secret to using lavender in your makeup lies within the shade of purple you’re using. Ahead, find six of our favorite lavender-inspired makeup products that won’t have you looking like the human version of a colored egg.Herbivore Moon FruitStart out your lavender makeup with a great fresh face. We love the Herbivore Moon Fruit night treatment to get our skin feeling clean, plump and ready for makeup. While this doesn’t give you a post-treatment lavender sheen (à la Avon + Edward Scissorhands), its pretty color still looks great pre-application and in your skincare stash. Urban Decay Disco StickOne of our favorite lavender makeup products on the market, the Urban Decay Disco Stick will fulfill all of your glittery lavender dreams. Swipe this onto your cheekbones, cupid’s bow and tip of your nose to add a little light purple sparkle to any makeup look, bold or neutral.Kiehl’s Lavender Hand CreamKiehl’s Lavender Hand Cream may be color-free, but it truly brings lavender to life in its gorgeous scent. This stuff has all the soothing qualities of lavender, will keep your hands feeling fresh and clean and is the perfect desk accessory. Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in TwitchIf you love a good lavender lip, Twitch is the perfect, creamy purple to add to your stash. This glides onto your pout with just one pigmented swipe and it adds the perfect unexpected makeup element.Lipstick Queen Space CadetIf you love a good lavender sparkle, Space Cadet is the gloss for you. Layer this over a purple lipstick (like Twitch!) or wear it alone for just a little flicker of lilac flame.
