Makeup artist Nina Park captioned this image of Zoe Kravitz, "Like staring into the sun," and that couldn't be more accurate. Kravitz is rocking a dramatic lavender eyeshadow look, especially since the colors in use are so vibrant and shiny. Urban Decay's Moondust Eyeshadow in Intergalactic, $21, might be a good bet for recreating this stellar look.

Former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo certainly isn't one to back down from a challenge — especially not a high-impact makeup look. This all-around amethyst eyeshadow look is downright arresting. You're going to want a high-shine vibrant purple, like Kat Von D Metal Crush Eyeshadow in Danzig, $21.

And taking home the award for most eye-catching use of lavender eyeshadow in the land? Solange Knowles, of course. At the Creatures of Comfort fashion show, she stunned with this ultra-pigmented eyeshadow look, set off to dramatic effect with an otherwise mostly makeup-free complexion. To pull this look off, you'll need a high-impact purple that doesn't pull any punches, like the ColourPop Super Shock Pigment in Daddy, $5.

Aishwarya Rai proves that lavender eyeshadow doesn't have to necessarily be out-there, it can also be the very height of polished sophistication. A high-coverage metallic lavender shadow like Stila Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in Sea Siren, $24, a stylish cat eye and a peachy nude lipstick are all you need to rock this glamorous look.

Thandie Newton's lavender eyeshadow pairs perfectly with her sequined gown and the look is more than simple enough to copy. A nice wash of a shimmery cream shadow like the RMS Eye Polish in Imagine, $28, all over the lid makes up your base. Then, top it with a swipe of liner and the hearty mascara formula of your choosing.
