Makeup is getting a vibey upgrade with the rise of aura beauty. Basing your makeup off your mood and aura reading, aura beauty is all about choosing makeup that connects with your energy. Self-expression has never been hotter, and what better way to express yourself than with makeup? Here are 5 purple bluish makeup tutorials that will beautifully emit your aura.
What is Aura Beauty?
According to Pinterest, aura beauty is set to be one of the biggest makeup trends of 2025. The trend is all about reflecting how you feel on the inside and expressing it with makeup, specifically by embracing colours that appear in your aura reading. It uses a cohesive colour story across your lips, eyes, and cheeks, although you can also focus the colour on one or two of those spots, keeping the other more neutral. Aura beauty reflects your mood and how you want the world to see you. It’s all about choosing a colour (or colours) that connect with your energy. For example, if you’re feeling calm, you may opt for blue, or if you’re feeling intuitive and creative, lilac could be the way to go. Reds are great if you’re feeling bold and passionate.
How to Find Your Aura Colours
The best way to find your aura colours is to do an aura reading with an expert. The process typically includes your photo being taken, which visually presents the colours your energy is emitting. Your energy is picked up by resting your hands on hand plates as you get your photograph taken. The hand plates pick up frequencies you’re emitting and transfer the colour of your frequencies onto your photograph. The colours in your aura reading are a representation of you, your personality, and your chakras. Some experts can even read auras by just looking at their clients. There are also a number of online quizzes you can take that can help you determine your aura colours.
What Does a Purple Bluish Aura Mean?
A person’s aura is usually a combination of colours. Blue is communicative, insightful and calm, while purple is intuitive, sensitive, and spiritual. If you have a purple bluish aura, it signifies a high level of intuition, sensitivity to others’ emotions, and a strong connection to the subconscious mind and spiritual world. People with this aura are often considered highly intuitive, insightful, and creative. Purple-blue, or indigo, is often associated with the third eye chakra, which is located in the centre of the forehead. This chakra is responsible for our intuition, imagination, and spiritual awareness.

5 Purple Bluish Aura Makeup Application Tips
- For a cohesive aura beauty look, match the colour of your blush to your eyeshadow and eyeliner, maybe even your lips (this would work better for purple than for blue).
- Use a dewy face primer like the L’Oréal Lumi Glotion to give your skin a glow before applying the rest of your makeup.
- Use an eyeshadow palette with blendable, pigmented colours to create a mood ring-like effect for your eyes.
- Don’t forget to use an eyeshadow primer so the colour pops as much as possible.
- Use a highlighter with a pearlescent or holographic finish for the high points of your face (cheekbones, bridge of the nose, top of the lips).
