The Psychology behind Viva Magenta

Viva Magenta encourages the desire for new challenges and the development of compassion.

In order to make the most of this outstanding color, we have put together some fantastic ways you can incorporate it into your life, and which colored contacts work best for your eyes. So, you can take on new challenges the year 2023 has to offer fiercely and with the same level of grace, as the color Viva Magenta suggests.

Viva Magenta Beauty On Green Eyes

There are several ways in which you can incorporate the color of the year. Because the shade is a mixture of warm and cool tones, it complements a wide range of skin tones. With green eyes, typically people have cooler tones of skin. As red sits opposite the color wheel to green, Viva Magenta will match perfectly.

With Hidrocor Jade color contact lenses you can experience a natural green look, perfect to pair with a Viva Magenta eye shadow. By putting a pop of Viva blended with an orange and red, you can create a mesmerizing sunset blend, pairing with the green of your lens incredibly. Viva also pairs with deep maroons and browns, another set of colors that match excellently with green eyes. Anesthesia Anesthetic Fonesta contact lenses will bring out a forest green shade that will pair with the warm tones of the Viva and bronze colors.

Bella Elite Emerald Green lenses boast an emerald green, put together with a Viva Magenta eyeliner and you have the ideal combo. Try a liquid-colored liner, however, if you don’t have a similar Viva shade then you can use a flat angled brush to form a liner shape with eyeshadow. You can blend out the shadow liner with a deeper red for a full Magenta effect.

Viva Magenta Beauty On Hazel Eyes

Another way to add the spice of Viva to your life is to pair your incredible natural hazel eyes with a fiery Viva Magenta lip shade. There’s no bolder way to incorporate color into your makeup than with a bright lippy. Pop in your Aquarella Dandara Hazel color contact lenses without a limbal ring for the ultimate natural look. Perfect to pair with your bold bright lip shade. If you have a Viva Magenta shade of lipstick, you can just go straight in with that. However, if you want to add some depth, line your lips with a deeper darker shade, either a brown or a deep red. This will create a dramatic ombre effect.

Freshlook Colorblends Pure Hazel contact lenses would work well with a Viva Magenta shade under the eye. If you have a warmer eyeshadow look, a fabulous way to add a pop of color is to either blend shadow on your bottom lash line or use a colored liner for your water line. Both ways add a pop to your otherwise naturally shaded eye.

Diva Amande lenses are a warm bronze hazel color. Which would complement a golden eyeshadow look. To add your hint of Viva Magenta you can look into getting colored faux lashes. These are a fun way to add some color to your look that is a little more unique than an eyeshadow look. Pairing your deep hazel irises, with a shimmering gold shadow and Viva lashes you really will be a walking goddess. If you’re not a faux eyelash wearer (we get you they take a bit of getting used to!) then you can buy colored mascaras for a slightly subtler way of coloring your lashes.

Viva Magenta Beauty On Brown Eyes

Similar to hazel eyes, brown eyes can pair excellently with Viva Magenta. However, if you don’t feel like pushing the boat out with bold makeup looks, you can still have a little fun with the color. Adding a little color to your hair has become increasingly popular with trending hair color shades and hairstyles going viral. If you try Solotica Aquarella Castanha Brown colored contacts they are exceptionally deep in color. To make them pop you can try a full shade of Viva Magenta, or if you want something a little less permanent, you can pair a headband that’s rich in the color Viva Magenta. There is an abundance of styles you can pop in your hair. Whether that’s a scrunchie in a bun, or a tie headband creating a feature on your head.

Solotica Natural Colors Agata lenses have a slight limbal ring, giving off monarch butterfly vibes, which will work excellently with a Viva Magenta colored hair flower, or butterfly clips. By incorporating the natural aspects from the lenses to the strong natural colors of Viva, you can really push the features of nature. Anesthesia USA LA Mocha color contact lenses provide you with the same natural beauty. Why not try adding a feature piece to your outfit with the color Viva? A scarf is a great way to add color without taking over the whole outfit completely, you can also add a hat for the same effect, whether that’s a beanie, bobble hat or cap

Viva Magenta Beauty On Gray Eyes

Gray eyes are the rarest eye color in the world, with only 3% of the world population with this color, why not go that little bit further to stand out. Solotica Aquarella Alegria Gray contact lenses do just that. Another great way to add Viva Magenta to your look is to match your nails. You can either give some inspo to your nail artist. Adding either a feature color nail or making the whole nail look bright with Viva Magenta can really pop with these lenses. It may be a subtle match but very effective.

Bella Elite Gray Beige lenses have a warm purple tone, ideal for the addition of a Viva Magenta cheek shade. Adding a Viva shade blush to your look can increase the warming tones and make your cheeks shine. This will complement the warming tones of the purple in these lenses. Creating that balance from the cooler tones of the gray in the lens, you are adding a level of fun into your look that isn’t too harsh for your look.

Viva Magenta has the right elements to make anyone, of any age glow. By adding Anesthesia Addict Terra lenses you can make a dark gray color and make it shine and glow with the color Viva. Try adding a statement piece to your outfit, if your feeling bold, a crimson coat will take your look to the next level. Or if you want something less bold, trying a shoe with the color in will create a more subtle but still noticeable look. Ever noticed the famous red bottom shoe? Girls if you know you know, a simple yet effective statement that screams confident girl boss. That is the look we’re going for with our Viva Magenta shoes.
