Hey, count me in for Team Purple. My fave mu to wear purple is mascara! Korres has an awesome one as do EL and YSL. I wish purple e/s did not irritate my eyes or I could pinpoint the ingredient that makes my eyes react so I could wear more purple--it is my favorite.
Lately I have been wearing HotHouse for a purple fix and awaiting arrival of Fashion Mews and Hellraizer.
a good cheap Purple fix is Revlon l/s in Va Va Violet

Nico lipglass is my fav purple toned gloss. It's a lavender with silver glitter. So pretty!

I have become almost obsessed with Hellraiser, but my MAC lipstick count is approaching 70, and I'm starting to have trouble keeping them all organized.
Will I hate myself forever if I skip Hellraiser?

Why wait for a blush--try mixing pigment over a blue pink? I may try this tonight--I am thinking Viz a Violet over a blue-pink blushie

I like this or the magenta-violet spectrum. Lately layering HotHouse over my blue pink lippies is making me happy. I can't wait to get my new blue lipglass (I can't remember the name! from FF) to layer and make purple from my pink lippies

We added bell bottom blue pigment(The only MAC darkish blue e/s I own.. ahem) which made it perfect! It pulled it into the colder side of lilac and gave it a lush sheen. 
I like my lilacs icy, cold and sharp. |

I'd recommend trying it on first, if at all possible.
While I like Rouge Artist Intense, I don't love it as much as I thought I would.
Though nicely pigmented, it isn't as opaque as I'd expect from a product with the word "intense" in the name. It's really almost like a non-drying stain, in stick form.
The first time I tried on Rouge Artist Intense, in fact, I had balm on my lips, and got very little color payoff.
I'm going to have to experiment with this some, to see how I can wear it in order to get maximum color with minimum dryness.
In the meantime: Though I really like the color of #15, I'm a little disappointed in the way it applies, and I dislike the rather cloying vaguely cherry cola taste/scent. Also, $20 is steep for a lipstick.
While Rouge Artist Intense is far from a bad product, MAC will continue to have my loyalty in the lipstick department.
Violetta and Go For It are still my favorite purple lipsticks!

I just want to make an eyeshadow recommendation:
I am NW15, with very dark brown hair and bright green eyes.
Today I wore Urban Decay's matte eyeshadow in "Heist," and was complimented twice on my "pretty eyes."
Not "your purple eyeshadow," but "your pretty eyes."
Heist is a very unique color; it's taupe enough to qualify as at least a "pseudo neutral," but purple enough to be fun, and to really pop green eyes.
It's velvety-textured and well-pigmented, too.
I highly recommend it, especially to those with green eyes.

I finally wore my NYX Power lipstick with MAC cremesheen is Ever so Rich for the first time yesterday. I've never worn a shade like this but i wanted to do a Kim Kardashian style look. OMG loving it!!! I even got a compliment when i went out to dinner last night from the waitress. I don't think i'll be wearing a bright purple lip anytime soon but i'm really liking the look of lilac pastel lips. It just brightened my face and looked really pretty!

I'm liking the fact that the Rouge Artist Intense lipsticks are less intense, I'm new to lipstick and I will feel more comfortable with something that is a bit buildable. I have opaque glosses and sometimes I find myself blotting away too much product. Looks like a trip to the MUFE boutique is in my near future.
I am so unsure about Violetta, but I will buy it this week and give it a try.

With my coloring (NW15; black-brown hair; green eyes), I find that I look better in the more vibrant purples, but I do like to pull out my Lavender Whip once in a while.
Yesterday, I wore Go For It, with Boys Go Crazy dazzleglass over it, and though I was concerned that it might be too dark, I got several compliments.
Something I like to do to slightly soften the darker purples is dab Hellraiser Dazzle lipstick over them.
The color stays deep purple, but is somehow "lightened."
This is really the only way I can wear Hellraiser; on its own, it's just too light for me.

L'Oreal Grape Soda is my fav purple/fuschia gloss. Maybelline Grapesicle is a cute frosty purple gloss full of silver shimmer too.

Okay team purple, I have observed and here I am to report.
MAC pearlglide in Rave (eyeliner) is purple heaven. Also, very good is the Guerlain purple liquid eyeliner.
I finally tried Fashion Mews, its gorgeous but Blooming Lovely is my go to purple lippy.
For a purple-ish blush, I have been loving Love Rock with a little bit of Quietly or Lovely Lily piggy over it to bring out the lavender a bit more.

The only "purple" or "lilac" like blush i have is On a Mission but when i tried it on, it seemed more pinky or red. I'm thinking its because i may have used a NARS blush before and forgot to clean that brush or maybe that colour just pulls red out of my cheeks? I'll have to try it again or at least swatch it on my arm!

I may have to give On a Mission a whirl the next time I stop in my CCO. Right now Love rock is the closest I have to lavender blushies.
